Domestic violence against children and adolescents remains a practice in Colombia.<\/p>\n<p>Although it seemed like a thing of the past, there are still parents and caregivers who resort to beatings, bites, pinches and screams to reprimand children. Not counting the frequency with which situations occur in which they tie, lock or wet with cold water.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10395\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10395\" style=\"width: 996px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10395\" src=\"https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/proposito-perfecto-1912_04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"996\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/proposito-perfecto-1912_04.jpg 996w, https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/proposito-perfecto-1912_04-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/proposito-perfecto-1912_04-768x463.jpg 768w, https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/proposito-perfecto-1912_04-320x193.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 996px) 100vw, 996px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10395\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pr\u00f3posito Perfecto \u00a9 Solkes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Many kids get burned by their own parents and with other marks of abuse. They also have other signs of abuse on their bodies.<\/p>\n<p>Without a doubt, one of the biggest problems in this scenario is that society normalized physical and psychological abuse as a correct element in the upbringing. However, the implications are serious for the future.

And, that&#8217;s how this talk began, between messages and extra tasks, anxieties, car whistles and coffee.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">Solkes:<\/span><\/strong> Why was this social initiative created?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">Paola Vergara:<\/span><\/strong> It was created from the bottom of our heart. We saw the sad reality of our country. Our children have been mistreated every day, abused in all possible ways&#8230; without mercy.

Willington and Paola work as independents. And, they have an interesting life story, to put it in a simple way, although it is not.<\/p>\n<p>As Vergara told me, she experienced intrafamily violence at an early age.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Martinez grew up surrounded by the violence of the streets. Until he was 17, he lived in a very humble neighborhood, Siloe.\u00a0He grew up surrounded by gangs.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10404\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10404\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10404\" src=\"https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/proposito-perfecto-1912_06.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/proposito-perfecto-1912_06.jpg 620w, https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/proposito-perfecto-1912_06-187x300.jpg 187w, https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/proposito-perfecto-1912_06-299x480.jpg 299w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10404\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pr\u00f3posito Perfecto \u00a9 Solkes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Every day he left his house and there were dead people on the streets. He grew up in the middle of drugs. Although he never consumed, he witnessed the transactions.<\/p>\n<p>He witnessed how many of his friends became hired assassins and drug dealers, among many other things.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps, one of the things that struck me the most when talking with Paola was her simplicity and humility. The work that they try to do, it&#8217;s without any hidden agendas, they want to offer boys and girls a little of tranquility, serenity and optimism.<\/p>\n<p>Perfect Purpose has several objectives to work towards too. In the short term, they want more donors, sponsors, logistics personnel and everyone who has gifts, talents with children, to join this cause.<\/p>\n<p>In the medium term they want to continue carrying out this type of events every time in more distant places and in a vulnerable state. Finally, in the long term they want to have a whole logistics team, transportation means, so that at least every 3 months they could be able to travel and set up the events.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">In conclusion<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Unfortunately, the regions where most of the rural, indigenous and Afro-descendant communities are located face a greater presence of armed groups.<\/p>\n<p>They, like many of us, want a world and a Colombia without poverty, exclusion and inequality.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10397\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10397\" style=\"width: 996px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10397\" src=\"https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/proposito-perfecto-1912_05.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"996\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/proposito-perfecto-1912_05.jpg 996w, https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/proposito-perfecto-1912_05-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/proposito-perfecto-1912_05-768x463.jpg 768w, https:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/proposito-perfecto-1912_05-320x193.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 996px) 100vw, 996px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10397\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pr\u00f3posito Perfecto \u00a9 Solkes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Finally, we must emphasize that we need the solidarity of people to boost that childhood and their families.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">T<\/span>hey, Perfect Purpose, are a clear example to follow.
