Ecuador asks Unicef for help tackling criminal gangs recruiting minors
Ecuadorean authorities asked the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (Unicef) for assistance to tackle organized crime gangs recruiting minors amid a national insecurity crisis, it was reported Friday in Quito.
“To get out of the logic of violence and generate decent and just alternatives to life, it is necessary to work together community and state,” said the Minister of Social Development, Gonzalo Civila. The head of Social Development, Gonzalo Civila, participated in the Children, Adolescents and Organized Crime conversation, developed by Gurises Unidos in the Francisco Acuña de Figueroa room of the Legislative Palace.
Ecuador's vice president, Mar a Jos Pinto, met with the representative in the country of the United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef), Arturo Romboli, with the aim of proposing that this body advise on the technical processes and institutional articulation of the new committee created by the Government with which it seeks to eradicate the recruitment of minors by criminal gangs.
