Juan Mart\u00edn P\u00e9rez recalled that the Regional Observatory seeks to make people know what and what the rights of children are based on indicators, reports, publications, complaint and demand

the importance of NGOs participating actively in the generation of reports and statistics, including the active participation of children and adolescents, as a As a follow-up mechanism for the Committee&#039;s recommendations, one of the greatest current challenges is for the recommendations issued to be translated into legislation that protects the rights of children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From Brussels, Efterpi Verigaki, from the European Commission, pledged to continue sharing information and reports on the best practices that have positioned the European region as a pioneer in the implementation of mechanisms that promote and guarantee the rights of children, pointing to the youth as one of its priorities, with public policies that reinforce the participation and empowerment of young people, girls and boys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Francis, a member of #NuestraVozCuenta and #Ni\u00f1ezObserva in Honduras, a group of young people who self-manage and prepare with an active role of observers and controllers, who also join the Latin Childhood Observatory, contributing their own point of view and research, thanked the

Program, African Child Policy Forum; Jana Hainsworth, Secretary General of EuroChild and Diana Laura, of Ni\u00f1ez Observa y Nuestra Voz Cuenta, Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ilaria Paolazzi, made a call to empower children through research and measurement of the fulfillment of their rights, highlighting that the COVID-19 pandemic has shown us how fragile children&#039;s rights can be 30 years after the CDN, and that there are even countries that have implemented public health policies that violate the political and civil rights of children, such as the right to freedom of movement and the right to assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yehualashet Mekonen, explained that the African Observatory is currently working on accountability in favor of girls, boys and adolescents; through tools for monitoring compliance with State obligations and international treaties, given the diversity of childhoods that inhabit the region. He mentioned that thanks to the exercise of measurement and analysis of indicators, the gaps in the Continent have been reduced, although the figures for malnutrition and child abuse, particularly against girls, continue to be alarming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Jana Hainsworth, from EuroChild, before the pandemic there were already situations of inequality in childhood, but that the health crisis has been an opportunity to renew attention to the rights of the Child and to listen more to the demands of children, around your rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/infancialatina.org\/file\/2021\/04\/Ausencia-dato-falta-voluntad-politica2-1024x535.jpeg\" alt=\"Ausencia de datos y falta de voluntad pol\u00edtica, retos para generar pol\u00edticas p\u00fablicas efectivas a favor de la ni\u00f1ez\" class=\"wp-image-1699\" srcset=\"https:\/\/infancialatina.org\/file\/2021\/04\/Ausencia-dato-falta-voluntad-politica2-1024x535.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/infancialatina.org\/file\/2021\/04\/Ausencia-dato-falta-voluntad-politica2-980x512.jpeg 980w, https:\/\/infancialatina.org\/file\/2021\/04\/Ausencia-dato-falta-voluntad-politica2-480x251.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diana Laura, representative of Ni\u00f1ez Observa, in Mexico asked for the support of governmental and civil organizations to promote proposals made by children, she hopes that their voices will continue to make an uproar, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second panel \u201cChallenges and opportunities for monitoring the rights of children, adolescents and youth in Latin America and the Caribbean\u201d was made up of Esmeralda Arosemena, Rapporteur on the Rights of the Child of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights; V\u00edctor Giorgi, president of the Inter-American Institute for Children and Adolescents and Lucy from Nuestra Voz Cuenta y Ni\u00f1ez Obs, Colombia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Esmeralda Arosemena, began her participation by saying that childhood and adolescence have given us a cry of a new reality to change the world in defense and demand of the rights of children. He pointed out that the challenge is to give them spaces so that the incidence in the protection of their rights becomes a reality. The challenge for the authorities is to recognize them as holders of rights and protagonists of change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regarding the importance of information when defining public policies and monitoring degrees of compliance with the CRC, V\u00edctor Giorgi mentioned that the current challenge in the Latin American region is to produce data where there is a void and opacity, due to the lack of political will to provide reliable, comparable and real-time information, without using averages, since this practice hides and makes it invisible. To end the panel, Lucy from Colombia said the following: &quot;We adolescents must empower ourselves to help children, we are leaving a mark in every space that we are allowed to be in.&quot;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The last panel &quot;Contributions to the monitoring of children&#039;s rights from journalism and activism&quot; was made up of Dariela Sosa, Deputy Director of the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ), Itzel Lugo, Coordinator of the School of Journalism for Girls and kids; M\u00f3nica Meltis, Executive Director of Data C\u00edvica, Mexico and Fernando de Ni\u00f1ez Observa y Nuestra Voz Cuenta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The communication and journalism specialists agreed that with the journalistic exercise the state of compliance with children&#039;s rights can be made visible, use the data to generate valuable information in their countries and regions, establish dialogue with children and adolescents, eliminate ignorance and prejudices harmful to society, building and telling stories from the perspective and language of young people and children, using information technologies to make the voices of girls, boys and adolescents heard, recognizing and eliminating adult-centered behaviors, but above all to build fairer and more egalitarian societies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, Dante, from Mexico, spoke about the implications of Latino children in this type of initiative, he assured that they impact society and invite young people to political action and assume themselves as protagonists in the defense and promotion of their rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch the transmission of the event, on the social networks of Ollin.Tv: (<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Ollin.tv\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Ollin.tv\/<\/a>) and get to know the promotional video for Infancia Latina:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=314&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.facebook.com%2FOllin.tv%2Fvideos%2F944114019675702%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=560\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color\" href=\"https:\/\/infancialatina.org\/file\/2021\/04\/Programa-seminario-internacional-desafios-oportunidades-monitoreo-infancias.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DOWNLOAD THE EVENT PROGRAM HERE<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La Iniciativa Tejiendo Redes Infancia para Am\u00e9rica Latina y el Caribe present\u00f3 el Observatorio Regional infancialatina.org en el marco del Seminario donde se analizaron los desaf\u00edos y las oportunidades para monitorear los derechos de la infancia latina.
