Youth taking new actions
By Andrea Celi | Project Leader
During the past two months we have been developing and planning a social media campaign that was coordinated to dialogue with an in person one-on-one campaign that youngsters carried out during carnival at Montevideo’s City Hall theater.
Apart from being shared on social media the videos were shared in loop at the theater’s screens reaching over 30,000 people during 30 days of intervention.
Nonetheless, a total of over 9,000 persons were reached in one-on-one interventions by young people to raise awareness on this matter.
The campaign is focused on raising awareness and believing children and teenagers when they talk to adults about abuse-related situations. Thus, taking action protecting them and calling out to Justice.

Raising awareness and preventing abuse
By Andrea Celi | Project leader

During the past months planning meeetings were carried out and a call for institutions to join the project Youth against sexual abuse was launched.
Until now two main activities were carried out in the last period of time - a workshop of awareness on sexual exploitation and tools to prevent it from happening where 30people from different churches around the country participated. This first stage of the training allowed the team to create what we called a lab of fair and caring interactions with the aim of being an on-the-road exhibition about awareness and prevention of sexual exploitation of children and teenagers.
Diverse faith-based organizations and other institutions are joining the task of spreading the voice and tools to prevent this from happening in their own communities.

Between January 1 and November 30, 2022, Uruguay registered 529 cases of commercial sexual exploitation of children and adolescents, of which 167 correspond to new cases. More than half of the cases (56%) were children and adolescents between 12 and 18 years of age, with a majority of all the victims (88%) being girls and female adolescents. Looking to confront this distressing problem, this past March 10-11th, Claves held a new round of our campaign Uruguay, País de Buentrato (Uruguay, Country of Good Treatment) in the department of Maldonado. Forty people participated, including adolescents, young people, and adult referents. Participants were first trained in and provided tools to prevent and responsibly disclose cases of commercial sexual exploitation of children and adolescents. The second day of the event participants attended ReCorre Maldonado, a hugely popular 5 and 10K race, to raise awareness and share information on the prevention of commercial sexual exploitation of children and adolescents.
