The Ombudsman for Children released this Monday -through a music video and a song called “The call of nature“- a campaign to commemorate the 30 years after Chile’s ratification of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
The musical piece is performed by Pablo Ilabaca (ex Chancho en Piedra) and the 15-year-old Mapuche rapper MC Millaray. Your goal is “to empower” to children and adolescents and invite them to “exercise your right to participate, to raise your voice and that everyone can hear you“, he pointed the institution the description of the video.
The constituent process is one of the central elements of the song’s lyrics, which makes a direct allusion to the massive evasions in the Metro by schoolchildren, a milestone that marked the days immediately prior to the “social outbreak” of October 18, 2019; a date that generates controversy between the different political sectors.
“All that false morality has already collapsed / The banners show the social demand / I feel that you must empower yourself Y fly, skip all the turnstiles. Thus the constituent process will have force, sense Y reason with your voice“, listening.

“Let’s walk alongside the revolution”
The song also refers to the lack of opinion of minors on fundamental issues, as religion OR sexual condition. “When I was little I could not comment / they kept us quiet even at dinner / Religion or sexual orientation / they weren’t topics of your choice“, he says.
The intervention of MC Millaray, which combines Spanish and Mapudungún, takes a tour of the invisibility of child violence and advocates a childhood “free from repression“.
“We do not want to see violence in a systematic way because of the invisibility and by those who normalize it. Free childhood and without repression, Mapuche or not. Today childhood raised its voice to say no longer, that it has stopped. We will not allow our opinion to be silenced, take my hand and walk alongside the revolution. We will create, we are creating our own rebellion“says part of the lyrics.
The subject was received with disparate comments: some positive and other critics on the subject of an apparent “incitement to subversive activism“and a”ideological indoctrination“.

The government reacts
The controversy, centered on the invitation to “skip the turnstiles”, has already prompted a reaction from the Government. Through social networks, the Undersecretary for Children, Carol Bown (UDI), he expressed “concern”.
“Rather than jumping turnstiles, the invitation should be to participate, to get involved, and to build together the country we dream of. Violence is not the means to demand respect for rights“said Bown, who remarked that” the call of nature “-as the song’s title is-” cannot be inciting violence. “

We believe in the participation of children, in freedom of expression, in that they must be listened to and influence materias matters, but in a safe and appropriate environment, without putting their physical and mental integrity at risk. The call of nature cannot be to incite violence

A metaphor
The Ombudsman for Children picked up the gauntlet of controversy and, also through social networks, published a series of clarifications on the matter: the main one, that the call to “skip the turnstiles” corresponds to “a metaphor” within an artistic creation.
..the space for him to say what he thinks, sees and feels, of course in his own words and style. That is what the song is about, by the way, to open ourselves to the effective participation of children and adolescents …
