Diagnóstico sobre los derechos vulnerados de hijos de familias migrantes de la casa de acogida Virgen de la Merced, 2019

Abstract

Being the protection and defense of human rights in particular for children and adolescents, we wanted to argue this investigation by analyzing the case of the children of migrant families regarding their experience or violation of their housing and education rights. As future professionals of social work and students of the Technical University of Machala we carry out this research work for the systematization of experiences that implies not only theoretical but also practical and in turn we have presented a real proposal so that it has a specific impact in society. We know that migration is a universal problem because of the consequences it attracts and in a particular way in our country today, we are witnessing the case of Venezuelan families. Therefore, our objective of systematization is to demonstrate the reality of the violation of the rights of the children of Venezuelan migrant families. The cases found have been through the Migrant Shelter Virgen de la Merced, the Catholic pastoral of the diocese of Machala, where we find sixteen migrant families. Our purpose in this research is to be able to know in a broader way the reality in which these migrant people live and in this way determine what are the negative effects and consequences that they present within their daily lives, being affected in their physical, psychological integrity, social and cultural. We have based our research on the review of different current scientific articles, which highlights the rights of children in particular housing, healthy nutrition, education, among others; all due to the instability due to their families. For the exploratory methodological aspect, we have based on qualitative methodology, that is, we have applied an observation guide and the interview technique, from which we obtained real and reliable data statistically processed from them we performed the descriptive analysis of the results. It was found that these families live in conditions of covering basic human needs and that they must overcome many obstacles to their survival. In addition, it was evidenced that they also suffer from discrimination, xenophobia, bullying and lack of social support and children cannot enter the education system due to socioeconomic instability. The proposal of this work was based on the realization of a socioeconomic report of the situation of these families of the migrant shelter Virgen de la Merced, which was issued to the Cantonal Board for the Protection of Children's Rights and Machala canton adolescence, so that they consider these cases violated. Finally, we conclude by highlighting the existing social problem that is migration and humanitarian support that institutions such as the Virgen de la Merced Shelter of the City of Machala can provide. With the work done, we feel that we are prepared to offer our professional service in a society that has many daily needs in order to provide a quality service and also provide alternative solutions that are feasible for citizens in general.
