RELAF participated in the Forum on Foster Care and the Right of Children and Adolescents to Family Life, in León

During August, RELAF continued its technical cooperation together with UNICEF México, several DIF offices, the Attorney’s Offices, and the civil society.

On the 18th, we participated in the Forum on Foster Care and the Right of Children and Adolescents to Family Life in León (Guanajuato). This event made it possible to share foster care experiences, both national and international, and to exchange different perspectives regarding the implementation of programmes and policies that more efficiently meet the needs of children.

The Director of the Comisión Estatal de Derechos Humanos de Guanajuato (Guanajuato State Commission on Human Rights), Guanajuato's State Attorney’s Office for the Protection of Children and Adolescents, and representatives from RELAF, Terra Dos Homens, SOS Children's Villages Mexico and Fundación Juconi, among others, discussed issues such as the importance of networking, family reintegration and the independent life of adolescents.
