For every child, the right to advocacy

In the last decade, Colombia has made significant progress in socio-economic development and peacebuilding. However, it still faces challenges such as structural inequalities, armed violence, forced displacement, and vulnerability to climate change,



which affect children and adolescents, especially in rural and ethnic areas. It is estimated that by 2025 at least 13.5 million people require humanitarian assistance, of these, 4.2 million are children and adolescents.

Despite the decrease in multidimensional poverty and advances in education and health, high rates of violence, malnutrition, and growing child poverty persist. Vulnerable communities, including ethnic populations, migrant communities and those affected by conflict, struggle with a lack of access to essential services such as water, sanitation and hygiene. In addition, rates of gender-based violence, child marriage and early unions, and sexual exploitation remain problematic.
