Resumen
Los derechos de la infancia, como derechos humanos, son universales. No importa la etnia, religión, condición sexual o económica. Algunos de los principios de estos derechos son el interés superior del menor y el derecho a la vida, la supervivencia y el desarrollo (Unicef, s.f.).
Desafortunadamente, no todos los menores gozan de ellos. En países en vías de desarrollo se produce una especial vulneración de dichos derechos y un desamparo de los menores, además de unas peores condiciones de vida, aunque dicha situación también se da en los países de Occidente. La protección de este colectivo es fundamental, ya que ellos no pueden defenderse solos y no disponen de plena autonomía, por lo que son un sector de población muy indefenso. Además de encontrarnos ante un colectivo especialmente vulnerable, existe una doble discriminación hacia las niñas, por razón de género. Muchas de estas niñas son obligadas a dejar el colegio para trabajar, mayoritariamente en el sector doméstico. Este hecho deriva en distintas consecuencias como abusos sexuales y/o explotación. Para proteger sus derechos es primordial promocionar el desarrollo de estas niñas, especialmente en el ámbito de la educación.
Es importante intervenir ante dicha realidad social, luchando por los derechos de estas niñas y promoviendo la educación inclusiva como herramienta de cambio.
Children’s rights, as human rights, are universal. No matter the ethnicity, religion, sexual or economic condition. Some of the principles of these rights are the best interest of the child and the right to life, survival and development (Unicef, s.f.). Unfortunately, not all children benefit from them. In developing countries infringement of these rights and abandonment of children occurs together with worst living conditions, although this situation happens in western countries too. The protection of this collective is essential, since they cannot protect themselves and they do not have full autonomy, so they are a very defenseless sector of population. In addition to finding ourselves in front of a particular vulnerable collective, there is a double discrimination against girls because of their gender. Many of these girls are forced to quit school in order to start working, mostly in the home sector. This fact results in different consequences such as sexual abuse and/or exploitation. Protecting their rights is of primary importance to promote their development, especially in the field of education. It is important to become aware of this social reality, fighting for the rights of these girls and promoting inclusive education as tool change.
