Prosecutor's Office launches comprehensive model against sexual abuse in Neiva schools

The General Prosecutor's Office presents in Neiva a comprehensive model to prevent, detect, and address sexual abuse in educational settings, amid rising violence cases. The initiative aims to create safe spaces for children and adolescents through diagnostics, pedagogical materials, and training workshops. The launch takes place this Monday, January 26, 2026, at the Mega Colegio Rodrigo Lara Bonilla.

In response to the rise in violence and sexual abuse incidents in Neiva's schools, the capital of Huila, the General Prosecutor's Office launches a comprehensive project focused on protecting the educational community. The model covers prevention to early intervention, aiming to build skills among students, teachers, and families to identify and mitigate risks.

The program starts with a thorough diagnosis of the situation in local educational institutions, enabling an assessment of the issue's scope. Pedagogical resources tailored to different ages will be developed, helping children and adolescents understand how to avoid dangerous situations. Workshops for teachers and principals will train them in detection and response, alongside sensitization sessions empowering students.

Parent schools will play a key role, promoting early detection and collective prevention. This will lead to systematizing the experience, creating a replicable framework for other regions of Colombia.

The launch event, set for Monday, January 26, 2026, at 6:00 a.m., will gather departmental and municipal authorities, parent representatives, and school principals at the Mega Colegio Rodrigo Lara Bonilla. This initiative highlights the commitment to protective and safe school environments for children and youth.
