Violence, poverty and limited access to social services and quality education affect the lives of children and adolescents. This forces them to make the difficult decision to leave their countries.
Migrant children are vulnerable to situations that may violate their rights, such as:
be stopped
Being exposed to organized crime or human trafficking
Suffer violence and discrimination
go hungry and cold
Not having access to health services
As a fundamental part of the response to the detention of children and adolescents in immigration stations, in Xilotl AC. We seek to attend to and promote the importance of play with the aim of fostering an environment in which mothers and fathers also interact with their daughters and sons, favoring bonds of trust and facilitating the expression of feelings and emotions. We implement and recover public spaces in 3 communities of the Selva Lacandona using reused resources such as tires, wood, etc.
We invite you to get involved and promote the importance of play and recreation like any other right.
The last few months we have:
Recovered 2 recreational spaces (Tazas and Cureña) with the help of teachers and children from the communities.
Implemented talks with the children of the communities of Las Tazas and La Cureña in order to make their rights known.
