Awareness-raising
With its awareness-raising campaigns, Intervida seeks to create a critical consciousness and movement in society to build solidarity with developing countries and the most vulnerable groups. In order to achieve a better future and to contribute to the sustainable human development of these communities, the organization makes strong efforts to diffuse, information to the various societal sectors, transmitting its concerns trough campaigns, events, press releases and its presence in the communication media.
To achieve definitive change is only possible if society responds to these problems, whether directly through their own actions or jointly through public institutions, government actions or even by provoking changes in legislation.

- Child sexual exploitation is a serious problem affecting two million children and adolescents each year. Poverty is one of its main causes, leading to child trafficking and exploitation rings where children serve as a source of income. The defenseless situation of millions of children around the world can be changed by defending their fundamental rights and raising awareness among all sectors of society, not only in developed countries, but also in developing ones.
