A report by CIPER Chile highlights the dangers faced by children due to inadequate infrastructure across the country. The investigation reveals a systemic failure to consider child safety standards in the planning and maintenance of public spaces, transportation, and schools. Specifically, issues include dangerous pedestrian crossings near schools, lack of sidewalks, and unsafe school buildings. These deficiencies disproportionately affect children from vulnerable communities, increasing their risk of accidents and injuries. The report criticizes the lack of inter-sectoral coordination between government agencies responsible for infrastructure and those focused on child welfare. CIPER Chile’s findings call for urgent action to prioritize child safety in infrastructure projects and policies nationwide, demanding a reassessment of current standards and increased investment in safe environments for children.
