Abstract

PEREZ CHACA, Valeria. Rights vs. Rights?: The Rights of Children Living in Jail. The Relation with Poverty and Social Exclusion. Estud. filos. práct. hist. ideas [online]. 2008, vol.10, n.1, pp.37-50. ISSN 1851-9490.

The history of childhood in the world, and particularly in Latin America, has divers and complex edges which, in one way or another, show a model of society which has been constructed during a long period of time. They have been numerous the efforts to obtain a legislation which regulates and guarantees the rights of the kids and which require the State to activate the adequate mechanisms to protect them. Actually, children are accommodated in Argentinean prisons with their mothers, and this fact is still to be discussed on public and academic milieus. It is from this point of view that we have the intention to set this discussion out, trying  to contribute to the debate from a Human Rights perspective. With this aim, reconstructing the history and taking into account the available information, we start to pose the question about the possible alternatives against a difficult reality which we have to face daily.

Keywords : Infancy; Children's rights; Social exclusion; Jails; Mothers; Conflict of rights.
