Ecuador's National Assembly is finalizing a bill to increase penalties for individuals who recruit or involve minors in organized crime activities. The proposed law aims to combat the growing issue of criminal structures exploiting children. It integrates proposals focused on prevention, detoxification, and rehabilitation for minors affected by drug use and recruitment. The reforms include modifications to the Penal Code, significantly raising prison sentences for recruiting minors in armed conflicts or groups. Legal experts suggest that while penalties will be harsher, addressing the underlying social conditions contributing to recruitment remains crucial.
This legislative initiative reflects Ecuador's commitment to protecting children from criminal exploitation by imposing stricter penalties and enhancing preventative measures against the recruitment of minors.
