In addition, in 1996, a more regional and inclusive movement, the MNNATSOP, was set up, allowing clearer regional coordination (Latin America) of movements relating to child and adolescent labor.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Nelly aims to promote this movement in Europe, starting with Belgium where she wishes to give visibility to her solidarity projects.<\/p>\n<p>Nelly Torres observes today a massive awareness in Latin America, with an evolution in the fate reserved for many young people from the working class.

The International Labor Organization is very reluctant to this idea. The associations want the work to be recognized and their poverty situation to be taken into account. 400 million children work worldwide. The Western vision denies this reality. BelgicaNNATS wants young people to be recognized as protagonists of society. For some children, working allows them to go to school.<br \/>\n<\/visible><\/p>\n<p><visible><strong>Do you see your project as an alternative to the dominant economic model? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7HaLEfLlMmE\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/visible><\/p>\n<p><visible> <strong>Do you have any advice to give to citizens who want to take action? <\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1cVAsh48vY4\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/visible><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-16458 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.justicepaix.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/jpg_hqdefault.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.justicepaix.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/jpg_hqdefault-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"hqdefault.jpg\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.justicepaix.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/jpg_hqdefault-2.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.justicepaix.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/jpg_hqdefault-2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"hqdefault-2.jpg\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nelly Torres, Peruvian by birth and social sciences teacher by training, works here, in Belgium, for the BelgicaNNATs association.
