Abstract

This interview is part of a series documented on the Rede Emili@, it proposes is disseminating academic research and collective reflections on childhood, education and politics. The document that we present synthesizes an analysis of the effects of the pandemic on the lives of children and adolescents in Mexico. Norma del Río Lugo describes the socio-economic and political situation, with emphasis on the precarious situation of public policies -before, during and after- the stage of social isolation for COVID-19 pandemic. We have reflected on how the States have been able -or not- to respond to the social situation generated during the pandemic, the type of programs, policies and actions deployed based on rights. In this shared experience, she has highlighted the relevance of the role of States in the lives of children and their rights.  Norma del Río Lugo analyzes childhood experiences and the preponderant role of women during the pandemic, emphasizing the need for urgent care policies. In this context, the violation of rights has been dramatic for the child population, with an increase in poverty rates, lack of access to education and health services, a dramatic increase in malnutrition and situations of violence.
