Download or read book Social Justice for Children in the South written by Graciela H. Tonon and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-08 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers that contextual factors are important for the achievement of social justice and it recognizes that vulnerability to which children are exposed is a phenomenon throughout the planet, particularly in the South. It presents a theoretical review of social justice as well as different situations of vulnerability children experience in their daily lives in which they can be injured, affecting their well-being and the exercise of their rights. It examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children, considered as a vulnerable group warranting special social policy considerations. It also presents the need to change power structures in knowledge production and decision-making processes to achieve social justice for children; the importance of investing in children; the exclusion of children from participation in certain activities and the shame of not being able to participate in equal conditions with others; the lives of migrant children belonging to ethnic minorities exposed to language barriers and access to technological devices; and the analysis of the process of social re-integration of children from conditions of armed conflict. The book concludes that governments need to assume social justice as part of universal human interests, providing security, conditions for well-being, and guaranteeing social justice for all children.

Download or read book Pol ticas y bienes sociales Procesos de vulnerabilidad y exclusi n social written by Ana Arriba González de Durana and published by Cáritas Española. This book was released on 2009 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El presente texto reúne los resultados de una serie de investigaciones que forman parte de los trabajos enmarcados en el Informe FOESSA 2008, destinado a estudiar el desarrollo social español en las últimas décadas. La concreción de su estudio se centra en las políticas sociales que se dirigen prioritariamente a proteger o dar respuesta a riesgos en una dimensión concreta: falta de empleo, salud, renta o de vivienda. Por ello, como objetivo principal se centra en la identificación de vulnerabilidades y riesgos sociales a los que se enfrentan las poblaciones en situación de mayor desfavorecimiento, en procesos y trayectorias de exclusión social y el acceso y uso de los mínimos de estos sistemas por parte de poblaciones en situación de pobreza y fuerte vulnerabilidad. Por todo ello se antojan como fundamentales las reformas de las políticas sociales que desde hace más de tres décadas han seguido un itinerario de modernización de sus estructuras, extensión de su cobertura, ampliación de su campo de actuación y mejora de los niveles mínimos. Aunque sin duda, lo que más claramente recoge este estudio es que el despegue económico de la pasada década no se ha reflejado en disminución de las desigualdades sociales, ni en una apuesta por políticas sociales universales, redistribuidoras, generosas y garantistas. En definitiva, no se ha aprovechado para fortalecer las débiles estructuras de nuestro Estado de bienestar. La pregunta es si estas estructuras van a dar respuesta a las situaciones de necesidad (desempleo, pobreza, falta de vivienda, salud precaria...) que se están planteando y funcionar como un mecanismo de integración y cohesión social.

This book was released on 2023-06-20 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El Programa de Formación e Innovación para Atender a la Primera Infancia desde la Universidad Pública es el resultado de una iniciativa encabezada por el Dr. Luciano Concheiro Bórquez, Subsecretario de Educación Superior, quien, a partir de una visión de educación compartida, convocó a diversos actores a unir esfuerzos en la reorganización de nuestro sistema educativo y sus políticas públicas y así contribuir a la gran transformación nacional desde sus cimientos. Este llamado tuvo eco en 16 IES afiliadas a la ANUIES, siendo la UATx la encargada de coordinar los trabajos bajo el liderazgo del Dr. Luis Armando González Placencia y del Dr. Serafín Ortiz Ortiz. Caminando Juntos, Volumen 1 es uno de los primeros resultados del Programa y en éste se presentan algunos de los productos de investigación elaborados por los Cuerpos Académicos Interinstitucionales, los cuales fueron constituidos para atender las diversas problemáticas relacionadas con las primeras infancias en México. En sus páginas, el lector encontrará las realidades cotidianas que las niñas y los niños, sus comunidades y los profesionales que los atienden, deben sortear a base de creatividad, perseverancia y un alto nivel de compromiso en el logro de su desarrollo integral. Esta obra nos llevará a un recorrido que inicia en la zona costera de Chiapas y pasa por los estados del centro hasta llegar a la zona Yaqui de Sonora, exponiendo situaciones de rezago social y académico al tiempo que propone algunas alternativas innovadoras para enfrentar las situaciones de vulnerabilidad, violencia y exclusión sistemática de las que son objeto las infancias mexicanas. Sirva este primer volumen como un paso firme en el trayecto que habremos de caminar juntos para lograr que las primeras infancias mexicanas se desarrollen en plenitud, procurando espacios para que su voz sea escuchada y donde reciban un cuidado amoroso y sensible.

Download or read book Pobreza y exclusi n social de la infancia written by Isabel Eugenia Lázaro González and published by Universidad Pontificia Comillas. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La pobreza infantil tiene una “escasa visibilidad” en la sociedad y, en particular, en las políticas públicas. Sin embargo, los últimos datos sobre la vulnerabilidad en la que se encuentra la infancia en España, son de por sí alarmantes. Posiblemente la crisis que estamos sufriendo actualmente suponga que en un futuro próximo esta situación empeore, a no ser que se empleen recursos y se diseñen y planifiquen políticas sociales específicamente dirigidas a paliar la situación de la infancia más vulnerable. 2010 fue, sin duda, un año crucial en el ámbito europeo para la lucha contra la pobreza y la exclusión social de la infancia. Este impulso se debió a la entrada en vigor del nuevo Tratado de Lisboa, que incluye la protección de los derechos de la infancia como uno de los fines claves de la Unión Europea y elaboración de una estrategia sobre los derechos de la infancia. En este contexto debemos situar la Jornada sobre Pobreza y Exclusión Social de la Infancia. “Construcción de la equidad...desarrollo de la infancia”, enmarcada en el ciclo de encuentros que la Plataforma de Infancia y la Cátedra Santander de Derecho y Menores de la Universidad Pontificia Comillas vienen promoviendo. El contenido de lo tratado en la Jornada se recoge en este libro que analiza de forma global la situación de la pobreza y la exclusión social en España, las principales políticas de lucha contra la pobreza y la exclusión infantil que se desarrollan y se insertan en la Unión Europea, aportando a las entidades públicas y privadas, ONGs y demás actores de la sociedad civil el necesario marco de trabajo que ofrece la Convención sobre los Derechos del Niño.
