Cantonal Boards for the Protection of Rights
The Cantonal Boards for the Protection of Rights are part of the Decentralized National System for the Integral Protection of Children and Adolescents (SNDPINA) and have their foundation and legal framework in the Code for Children and Adolescents. The function of these boards is to guarantee the protection of the rights of children and adolescents, as well as to monitor and sanction actions that put the integrity of minors at risk. Each board has six members, who are proposed by civil society and elected by the Cantonal Council for Children and Adolescents. As of 2012, there were 171 boards implemented in Ecuador.
