Abstrakt: The article presents a case study of the enactment of children's rights in municipal defensorías, or government offices, charged with providing assistance for impoverished children in Peru. According to the author, these defensorías depend on a technocratic interpretation of children's rights discourses which conflates women and children and does not address the needs of women who are not mothers or who require other forms of assistance.
