It deals with topics such as the analysis of the social context of childhood, adolescence and youth. In addition, it focuses on the role played by the Salvadoran Institute for the Integral Development of Children and Adolescents, elaborate recommendations and makes public pronouncements on the progress in the installation of the National System for the Protection of Children and Adolescents.
