Los procesos de acogida y apoyo a la integración de las personas recién llegadas se han centrado en Cataluña en perfiles inequívocos de migración económica y reagrupación familiar, sin contemplar específicamente las necesidades y dinámicas vinculadas al refugio y el asilo. En este sentido, a partir de 2015, la atención mediática se ha centrado en el mejor de los casos en la acogida de personas refugiadas desde imaginarios relacionados con la guerra de Siria y los conflictos de la zona que se vinculan a ella, pero no en la llegada de flujos inesperados de personas de los países centroamericanos conocidos como la zona del Triángulo Norte, que huyen de la violencia y la extorsión de las pandillas, en especial procedentes de El Salvador y Honduras. El artículo presenta los resultados del trabajo etnográfico realizado en el marco de un proyecto financiado por el Institut Català Internacional per la Pau sobre la llegada de esta población refugiada a Cataluña desde una perspectiva familiar, de género y de generación, para orientar propuestas de acompañamiento en su proceso de resiliencia y reparación.
One in three children and adolescents is currently living in poverty in Catalonia. Most specialised research has been concerned with assessing and questioning current legal frameworks and policies to combat child poverty mainly through quantitative approaches. However, these approaches neglect the specific experiences, perspectives, and visions of children and their potential to provide important clues for the design and evaluation of policies to eradicate poverty. It is also uncommon to include the experiences and views of social intervention staff who often work in situations of extreme budgetary reductions with remedial—not transformative—models. The article presents some findings from a qualitative study commissioned by UNICEF to explore this double experience from the point of view of its protagonists on the front line, drawing on fieldwork carried out before the Covid‐19 pandemic that aggravated the living conditions of the most vulnerable sectors of society. The results show a shared perception of the impact of material deprivation in all spheres of life, but also diversity in coping perspectives and understanding of the structural factors that cause inequality and poverty, as well as the possible responses to overcome them. They also reveal the need to further explore child poverty as a gendered experience.
