Spanish term

apropiación de sí mismos

Spanish to English Social Sciences Government / Politics Not-for-profit sector
En este sentido, el proyecto logró la prevención de la vinculación de los niños así como la protección frente a situaciones de vulneración y riesgo frente a esta problemática. Igualmente, sus condiciones de vida mejoraron, pues se presentaron cambios positivos en sus formas de apropiación de sí mismos, su autoestima, las relaciones personales y familiares mejoraron gracias a la formación en torno a procesos de comunicación y resolución de conflictos entre otros.

It seems that 'aproprición' can mean 'ownership'. Could this be 'taking ownership of their lives'?

Many thanks

Louise

(develop) a sense of self/ a sense of self-identity

I was very tempted to say "take charge of their lives," but I think that the author is speaking of psychological development here. "Self-concept" is another term that is sometimes used in this context. Let's see what others have to say.
