The context of the crisis of the state’s child protection network in Chile led to an analysis of the rights approach used in a non-governmental project that was innovative and complemented the national network. The case was studied using mixed methodologies, integrating various tools that mainly came together in an ethnography of the natural environment of the project. The study shows that the rights approach is articulated on a declaratory level and on a rather different practical one: a) the former can be aligned with human rights; b) the latter has two antagonistic forms: i) exo-efficacy and ii) personal values, but not self-efficacy. The study’s conclusions include recommendations for the inclusion of the rights approach in child protection programs.
