Identified Needs: According to the INMLCF, for the year 2022 in Manizales, there was a rate of 0.46
(209 cases) for alleged sexual crimes against children and adolescents. In 87.1% of the cases, the type
of sexual violence reported was sexual abuse. 79% of the cases occurred within the municipal seat.
Regarding the relationship with the aggressors, in 53.1% of the cases the aggressor was a family
member, of these 28.8% was the stepfather and 17.1% cases corresponded to the father or uncle in
equal proportion. The conditions of the event varied, with 52.1% cases occurring during personal care
activities and 28.2% cases being related to travel from one place to another. The place where the most
cases occur is housing, with 52%, followed by educational institutions with 6.7%.
Of the total cases, 24.8% correspond to boys and girls in initial or preschool/transition education,
47.8% to basic primary education, 12.9% to adolescents in basic secondary education and 5.7% to
middle secondary education.
The identification of the alarming statistics of sexual violence against children and adolescents in
Manizales reveals an urgent need to address this problem, especially in the stages of initial education
such as transition and in primary school.
The project will mainly benefit children and adolescents, as well as teachers and parents in at least 10
educational institutions, 10 child development centers and 3 vulnerable communities per year. This
is equivalent to about 2,000 children, 80 teachers and 1,000 parents. Indirect beneficiaries include
educational institutions, teachers, the ICBF and the community in general.
SUSTAINABILITY:
The sustainability of the "Butterfly Route" is based on strategic collaborations with government,
educational institutions and local organizations, which ensures long-term support. Professionals have
been trained to lead the project, guaranteeing human resources and specialized knowledge.
The integration of the project into the regulatory framework of the Action Plan of the Articulating
Mechanisms strengthens its sustainability. Additionally, it seeks to generate cultural change and
awareness about sexual violence in the community.
The flexibility and scalability of the project allow its replication in different contexts and the
possibility of establishing alliances with local institutions, private schools and companies. This opens
opportunities to expand the initiative to new geographic areas and prevent sexual violence in children
and adolescents in various communities.
IS THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED? DESCRIBE THE ROLE OF THE LOCAL
COMMUNITY IN THE IMPLEMENTATION AND CONTINUITY OF THE PROJECT.
The 'Butterfly Route' stands out for its active collaboration with professionals from educational
institutions that work directly with children and adolescents, allowing the strategies to be effective
and relevant for the beneficiaries. Additionally, it responds directly to the alarming figures of sexual
violence and addresses barriers to understanding, ensuring its accessibility.
The methodology is based on extensive studies and is carefully adapted to the local context to increase
its effectiveness. It prioritizes the fulfillment of objectives and focuses on long-term sustainability,
training the educational community and local leaders to act as project facilitators.
The 'Butterfly Route' undergoes continuous evaluation, valuing feedback from the community. This
participatory and responsive approach ensures that the program remains effective and relevant to the
changing needs of the community, promoting a sense of shared ownership in its continued success.
