Everything you thought about is what is known as fundamental rights. That is, they are all those basic conditions that allow us to develop as people and that guarantee our coexistence with others and with nature. When we say fundamental rights we are talking about everything that allows us to feel as people in all aspects and spheres of our life, personally and as members of a community, in which we are jointly responsible for what we do or do not do. People, because they are like that, we have fundamental rights, these rights are also known as human rights, because all people have them

We have fundamental rights since we were born and accompany us throughout our lives. But they have not always been recognized. They are a historical construction that has emerged from the struggles of the peoples in the face of abuses of power and when the dignity of the people has not been respected.

Of equal hierarchy

Every person is a subject of rights. What does this mean? That it has dignity, that it can not be treated or seen as an object, that its needs, interests and aspirations should be recognized; that has capabilities both to exercise their rights and to fulfill their responsibilities. In addition to the rights that all people have, children and adolescents have rights to be such. This is established by several international treaties and the Code of Childhood and Adolescence of our country.

Rights do not need to be written, but to ensure compliance they have been included in different rules. The most important norm that consecrates them is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted on December 10, 1948. As a result, multiple pacts, international agreements and national laws have emerged that specify the scope of these rights

✓ Life and physical and emotional integrity.
✓ Identity, name and citizenship.
✓ A life free of violence, abuse and discrimination.
✓ Special protection against any form of exploitation.
✓ Priority access to health, education and food.

✓ Participate in associations and exercise the vote, from the age of 16.
✓ Special attention to the children of people deprived of their liberty, those who have some disability, victims of disasters or who belong to indigenous communities or peoples

Higher interest, forces us to always think about what is best for the child and young person, respecting their needs, opinions and ways of seeing things; Give them preference and consider that their rights are above those of other people

Non-discrimination, recognizes that although all children and young people are equal in dignity, they have differences, which must be respected and cannot give rise to treatment that promotes their exclusion or the annulment of their rights.
