COVAFAM early childhood education protests in Sonora
Overview
The COVAFAM organization ended a 129-day protest and encampment outside the Sonora State Congress following an agreement with the state government and legislative authorities. The movement, which began on April 21, sought to secure early childhood education for children aged 0 to 6.
The agreement includes the allocation of funds to guarantee initial education through the Secretariat of Education and Culture and the creation of a State Early Childhood System using 2027 fiscal resources. Additionally, a court-ordered payment of two million pesos is to be fulfilled by the end of 2026. The settlement also involves the dismissal of legal charges filed by the State Congress against seven members of the organization.
The resolution concludes a 99-day hunger strike by the association’s lawyer, Jorge García Herrera, who reported significant health impacts, including a weight loss of approximately 20 kilograms. The protest concluded after a meeting with Governor Alfonso Durazo Montaño to establish commitments for child welfare in Sonora.
