The Councillor for Equal Opportunities, Child and Volunteer, Catherine Gázquez and Social Policy Council Member, Maria Angeles Tunisia submitted jointly to the House of this City, on Monday, creating an "Observatory for Children" to develop the study of impact of poverty and social exclusion among children in Puerto Lumbreras.
'On the occasion of the celebration of World Children's Day we commemorate today we wanted to present in full the proposed establishment of the Centre for Children' pointed Gázquez.
According to Catherine Gázquez, 'all this is done through an analysis of policies that affect, directly or indirectly, to situations of social exclusion by adopting an approach based on the rights and privileges of children as a reference, and to permit measures to correct any situation of vulnerability and inequality. "
For the creation of this Observatory will participate in children's schools in the municipality, such as nurseries and schools, as well as the Associations of Mothers and Fathers of the town to act in cooperation with all institutions involved and to more easily locate cases of children in difficulty to compensate for factors that place them at a disadvantage and achieve their full development as in the case of Children, it is especially vulnerable to the consequences of poverty and social exclusion.
To this should be valued the factors of housing, health and education, among others to adopt a horizontal approach in all social policies, since exclusion is a multi-causal process, dynamic and changing, which is not confined to particular groups but can affect one way or another the entire child population.
'You can take into account the impact of the digital divide, demographic changes and changes in family structures as they may pose unknown scenarios involving a new analysis, and with it, concrete proposals for action, "according Gázquez.
