| LAW
ON CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS |

of Statutory Law was presented to Congress “in
which the law on Children and Adolescents
is promulgated”, a proposal that
prioritizes eight basic themes: Nutrition,
Education, Sexual and Reproductive Health,
Special Protection, Civil Registration,
Maternal Mortality, Infant Mortality,
and Water and Sanitation. Based on what
you know about the country’s situation,
what would you propose doing to consolidate
these priorities? |
