The young people living on the streets in Jalisco could have guaranteed access to government programs of temporary job and they would be considered as subjects of social assistance by the municipalities.
The PRI deputy Julio César Covarrubias presented to the local Congress a initiative that seeks reform to the Law for the Comprehensive Development of the Youth of the State, which would make it possible to serve this sector of the population.
“It is not strange to see young people throughout the country, including our State, who have the street as their home, where their physical integrity is at risk most of the time, since insecurity is a constant reality since they do not have a place to protect yourself and your belongings,” said the PRI legislator.
“While it is inherent to see that the young people living on the street they are cold, hungry and, of course, the opportunities to have a job or, where appropriate, be able to study or receive training to obtain a work space that allows them to have a better standard of living, is always an unattainable dream,” he added.
Citing the MURAL publication titled “Numbers of street children in Jalisco are ignored,” Covarrubias indicated that it is urgent to guarantee the rights of young people living on the streets in the State.
“In Jalisco, unfortunately there are young people who for some reason have made the street their home, leaving the family nucleus behind and suffering the harshness of living on the street, such as insecurity, lack of a roof, food, job opportunities and study, among many other activities or rights that are cut short or diminished,” he said.
“Strategies should be sought to help this sector of the population, so that the young people who live on the street in our State have, if they so wish, opportunities so that their life projects are not truncated, but, on the contrary, they find support to know their rights and exercise them freely”, he added.
The reform proposed by the PRI deputy would establish that the rights of young people living on the street are to receive guidance from public security agencies and corporations on the risks of living on the street, as well as having access to temporary employment programs.
Also access training programs promoted by the Ministry of Labor to seek reintegration into a working life, guidance to access education services, and be considered subjects of social assistance by municipal governments.
