RUIZ LUZARDO, Jean Pierre. The policy for the prevention of pregnancy among girls and adolescents and the children’s rights. Iuris Dictio [online]. 2022, n.29, pp.111-127. ISSN 2528-7834.  https://doi.org/10.18272/iu.v29i29.2529.

This article analyzes the Intersectoral Policy for the Prevention of Pregnancy in Girls and Adolescents in Ecuador, period 2018-2025, from three aspects: i) the approach to the children’s rights; ii) the principle of progressive autonomy; and iii) comprehensive sexuality education. The methodology used consisted of the comparison of international standards and the provisions of the policy. Finally, it is concluded that this instrument does not cover these elements in its design.

Keywords : Public policies; children's rights; progressive autonomy; adolescents; adolescent pregnancy; comprehensive sexuality education..
