Teach 400 Indigenous Children: Justice in Colombia

Indigenous children are actively participating in a radio station that they helped set up in San Andrés ede Sotavento. The station is called "Positiva Estéreo" and in its programming indigenous children have several radio shows. In these radio shows they talk about children's rights; right to say NO to attempted sexual, psychological, physical abuse of adults; values of peace and coexistence in indigenous communities; women's rights and gender equity; the education they are receiving in schools; need to respect cultural, social, religious, ethnic diversity.

These children write their own scripts for radio shows and they themselves transmit them with their voices, with their words, with their emotions....
The covid 19 pandemic seriously affected the mental health of children and young people in these communities. On the radio, children talk about how to recognize and identify emotions and how to discover if we are suffering from symptoms of diseases such as depression, anxiety disorder, stress
 

INDIGENOUS CHILDREN: ECONOMY TO SOW PEACE
In this period we have been training indigenous children from different communities in knowledge of their rights not only to education, to health, not to be mistreated by the adults around them, but also in the rights of women. Indigenous women have traditionally supported their families with their jobs, but a patriarchal culture has denied them autonomous management of the money they earn. That has been changing and there are many young women who, as a result of the pandemic, began to create small economic companies challenging machismo.

If we educate children in the economic rights of women, we will be taking great steps to transform the authoritarian culture in force in the coming years. If these children actively participate in small businesses created by their mothers, by their sisters, they are not only sowing peace but also helping to build a more humane economy, more in solidarity with the weak, with the excluded, an economy with a childish gaze.
