While Ecuador has taken important steps to tackle the issue and expedite justice since 2017, its policies and protocols are still not adequately carried out by many schools, the prosecutor\u2019s office, and the judiciary.<\/p>\n<p>The 75-page report, \u201c\u2018It\u2019s a Constant Fight\u2019: School-Related Sexual Violence and Young Survivor\u2019s Struggle for Justice in Ecuador,\u201d documents sexual violence against children from preschool through higher secondary education, and the serious obstacles young victims and their families face when seeking justice. Human Rights Watch found that teachers, school staff, janitors, and school bus drivers have committed sexual violence against children of all ages, including children with disabilities, in public and private schools. Ongoing cases show that sexual violence against students continues.<\/p>\n<p>For more Human Rights Watch reporting on Children\u2019s Rights, please visit:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hrw.org\/topic\/childrens-rights\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.hrw.org\/topic\/childrens-rights<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>For more Human Rights Watch reporting on Women\u2019s Rights, please visit:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hrw.org\/topic\/womens-rights\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.hrw.org\/topic\/womens-rights<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>For more Human Rights Watch reporting on Education, please visit:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/topic\/childrens-rights\/education\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/topic\/childrens-rights\/education<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more Human Rights Watch reporting on Ecuador, please visit:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/americas\/ecuador\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/americas\/ecuador<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To support our work, please visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/donate.hrw.org\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/donate.hrw.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Human Rights Watch: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.hrw.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Subscribe for more: <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2OJePrw\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2OJePrw<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"syndicated-attribution\">This post was originally published on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiofree.org\/2020\/12\/10\/children-in-ecuador-at-high-risk-of-sexual-violence-in-school\/\">Radio Free<\/a>. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read the report: https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/news\/2020\/12\/09\/ecuador-high-levels-sexual-violence-schools (New York, December 9, 2020) \u2013 Thousands of children and adolescents have suffered school-related sexual violence in Ecuador since 2014, Human Rights Watch said\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1747"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1747"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1747\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1748,"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1747\/revisions\/1748"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1747"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1747"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1747"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
