Peru
The situation in Peru
Despite economic growth, unemployment and poverty are still high. This situation is particularly difficult for children and adolescents, as their education is insufficient for them to improve their prospects. Crime, violence and drug trafficking have increased over the past few years. Many children have no choice but to be involved in these activities, and are imprisoned as a result.
