Summary

This paper is published in the International Journal of Business, Humanities and Technology and is free to read online.

In this essay the theory of the recognition of Axel Honneth is taken up, in which three fundamental spheres are established for the integration of the people in society: affective, legal and social. The use of this theory explains the lack of recognition of street children and the violation of their rights. The progress made in the legal sphere in Mexico is deepened. Despite the progress in the regulations and the actions undertaken, Honneth’s approach warns of dimensions that should be considered by public decision-makers and by civil society.
