Un enfoque comunitario para visibilizar la desnutrición de los niños y niñas de 0 a 5 años en La Guajira desde la comunicación.

Abstract

Child malnutrition in La Guajira is a historical crisis that affects the Wayuu indigenous people, and so far it has been addressed mainly through approaches focused on numbers and assistance problems, leaving aside its cultural, territorial, and communication dimensions. Many of the prevailing narratives do not recognize the worldview, ways of life, and practices of the communities, which creates stigmatizing representations. That’s why community communication is considered a key tool to understand the crisis through the voices of the territory, promote participatory processes, and contribute to the collective construction of solutions that fit the Wayuu people's sociocultural reality.
