The rights of indigenous children in Panama are increasingly being violated, according to a report by the Ombudsman's Office.

A recent report from the Panamanian Ombudsman's Office, developed in collaboration with the National Coordinator of Indigenous Women, indicates a rise in the violation of rights for indigenous children and adolescents in Panama. The findings highlight that 75% of this demographic currently faces monetary poverty, underscoring significant economic instability within these communities.

Educational access remains a critical point of concern, with 15% of indigenous minors currently excluded from the school system. This figure is three times higher than the national average, a disparity attributed to the intersectional nature of the vulnerabilities faced by these populations.
