Despite Brazil\u2019s recent economic development, significant portions of the country\u2019s population remain in poverty<\/a>. In particular, rural areas and city suburbs have not reaped the benefits of nationwide economic progress. This poverty remains a key driver for many of the country\u2019s children\u2019s rights<\/a> challenges. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Economic hardship deprives children of access to adequate health<\/a> and sanitation, pushes them towards illicit and dangerous work to generate income, increases the risk of child marriage<\/a>, sexual abuse and accompanying challenges,  provides a gateway for criminal activity and ultimately increases unwanted interactions between children and the law. All these risks prevent children from realising their fundamental human rights. \"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
