Context The General Law on Victims (2013) recognizes that children and adolescents may be exposed to a situation of greater vulnerability which requires specialized attention that responds to the particularities and degree of vulnerability of the victims for which the authorities obliged by said law must offer them within the scope of their competences:  special guarantees and protection measures that respond to their particularities including cases in which the seriousness of certain damages requires specialized treatment for their rehabilitation and reintegration recognizing at all times their best interests. He calls this a differential and specialized approach (Article 5). In 2015 the Comprehensive Model of Attention to Victims (MIAV) was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation which aims to guarantee victims of crime and human rights violations access to truth justice and comprehensive reparation with a systemic psychosocial human rights approach  of gender differential and specialized for the recovery of the life project of the person. To this end the Model summarizes the procedures actions and fundamental principles to provide immediate help attention assistance protection and comprehensive reparation to victims of crime and human rights violations as well as to promote their empowerment and prevent revictimization and secondary victimization. Throughout the Model some provisions on the differentiated care of children and adolescents are incorporated without expanding the way in which each process must be adapted so that the needs and characteristics of this population can be met; which opens the possibility of generating greater tools so that the victim care authorities have greater capacities to apply the differential and specialized approach established by the General Law on Victims with child and adolescent victims. Within the framework of the General Collaboration Agreement signed in December 2021 by the Government of the State of Michoacán de Ocampo and UNICEF it seeks to develop this consultancy. Objective The objective of this consultancy is to provide technical support for the preparation of the Guide for the application of the differential and specialized approach for children in the Comprehensive Model of Attention to Victims (MIAV) and a training plan on the Guide. Expected results CEEAV will have a case management strategy in line with its mandate and powers which is governed by a differential and specialized approach to more vulnerable groups based on the Guide for the Application of the Differential and Specialized Approach for Children in the MIAV.

Across 190 countries and territories we work for every child everywhere every day to build a better world for everyone. And we never give up. For every child better future The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child everywhere in everything the organization does — in programmes in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families translates this commitment to children’s rights into action. For UNICEF equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive develop and reach their full potential without discrimination bias or favoritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life — in its social political economic civic and cultural dimensions — her or his rights are violated.
