Child vulnerability in Honduras: a pending issue on the development agenda

Abstract

Honduras has legislation and institutions that must protect and guarantee that the human rights of children and adolescents are fulfilled. However, many children and adolescents do not receive quality education and health. At an early age they begin work that deprives their childhood and experience violence and migration. The State and society must show solidarity and contribute to a national plan that can reverse the crisis in Honduran children and adolescents.
