El trabajador social en la restitución de los derechos de los niños, niñas y adolescentes del proyecto ETI, Arenillas -2023

Abstract

Child labor is an activity that limits the integral development of children and adolescents, exposing them to dangers and violating their rights. In the Arenillas canton, it is known that there is a considerable number of children and adolescents working as child laborers, mostly in recycling areas, mainly affecting their physical integrity. The objective of this thesis is to recognize the intervention of social workers in the restitution of the rights of children and adolescents of Arenillas and its impact during the development of the ETI project in the Arenillas canton. The theoretical framework compiles the bibliography of various authors who address issues of Social Work and Human Rights, the reality of child labor in Ecuador and the role of social work in children's rights. Meanwhile, the legal framework is based on legal norms such as: Charter of Human Rights, Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador, Code of Childhood and Adolescence, Convention on the Rights of the Child. In order to carry out a diagnosis of the problem, a methodology with a mixed approach has been implemented, making use of techniques and tools such as, interview, observation and surveys, directed to the children and volution and development in the project. The intervention plan I am a teenager and I undertake safely was carried out through socialization on the importance of teenage entrepreneurship and the subsequent execution of a micro-entrepreneurship fair, which highlighted the participation of teenagers and their families, demonstrating their skills in different areas of interest.
