Havana (Noticiero) As elusive ghost, citadina violence causes more deaths today in the world to the unjust wars of the present and creates a particularly serious situation in Latin America.
According to a forum held in Lima, Peru, on 9 February, one of the main bases of the phenomenon in this region is that much of "the poorest quintile among young people" (according to Wikipedia, the fifth of a statistical population sorted from lowest to highest) is not economically active or study, especially in the female gender. "
Antonio Prado, Deputy Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), said here that only 32.4 percent of young women, with up to three years of school, have jobs, a percentage that rises to 53 between those who complete primary and secondary.
It also found that "the consequences of a weak labor market insertion of young people are multiple, including low income, another of the many expressions of inequality.
All of the above "perpetuates inequality and intergenerational transmission of poverty", the "misuse of resources invested in education and social disintegration," he added.
Because "education influences the future employability of young people", ECLAC recommends investing in it and in job training.
This will limit the negative effects that are in sight as possible, but both qualitative political changes are required.
The Latin American Information Agency recently embodied the concern that "the specter of violence plaguing Latin America," without a "country or social gap that is safe," so that there seems no place of refuge.
"Even after the walls of the sacred home", he added, "grows the aggression against the weak, children, or on the elderly and women."
Roberto Briceño León, in Sociology of violence in Latin America, defines it as "meet death at the corner of the house", but also can be added inside.
In his work, published in 2007 by headquarters Ecuador, Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences, Briceño notes that the unemployment rate for young Latin Americans in 2003 was 15.7 percent, more than double that among adults, those affected at 6.7 percent.
But in 2009 unemployment was 8.3 percent regionally, on average, and continued to weigh, the more weight on youth and women, a population factor of national life in each country.
Statistics cited by the author reveal that in the world at the beginning of the decade, 565 were killed every day young people aged between 10 and 29 years for a murder rate of 9.2 deaths per 100 thousand inhabitants.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2002 occurred about 520 thousand homicides globally each year to a rate of 8.8 murders per 100 thousand inhabitants.
In contrast, only produced about 310 thousand victims in military actions, which represented 5.2 per every 100 thousand inhabitants.
Europe had the lowest homicide statistics, with one per 100 thousand, followed by America with 11, Africa and Latin America with 17.6 to 34.6, scene of the biggest problem.
The WHO estimated as higher global rates in 2002 the Latin American countries like Colombia with 84.4, El Salvador with 50.2, 32.5 Brazil and Mexico with 15.3.
Around the same time, the Inter-American Development Bank considered that 28.7 percent of all homicides in Latin America then as victims were young people aged 10 and 19 years, a reality that gets worse instead of better.
Briceño notes, meanwhile, that one of the major sources of violence is based on the "inability to match the prescribed roles" for that age group, especially at the beginning of adolescence.
The author adds that in Latin America had at the beginning of the decade about 58 million poor youth, of which 21 million were in extreme poverty, with higher incidence among women, leading to a deteriorating reality.
With regard to violence, believes that "men exercise it and suffer" more in a world where the homicide rate, according to WHO, is among them, 19 per 100 thousand inhabitants and only four per 100 thousand among women.
During 2002, the American men had 12 times more likely than women to die murdered in Colombia, El Salvador and Venezuela, 11 in Ecuador, 10 in Brazil and six in Costa Rica.
Among the reasons are listed as aggravated trafficking in drugs, alcohol and possession of firearms, which facilitates and lethality caused annually in 2004, over 200 thousand deaths in these media "in no event warfare "and 300 thousand in the unjust wars.
Weapons produced by "more than a thousand companies in 98 countries around the world," even contribute to Latin America with the highest number of homicides for this cause and show a rate three times that of Africa, five times that of North America or Central Europe and east, and is 48 times larger than Western Europe.
Equally, femicide, trafficking and trafficking of women reflect a trend that the Central American Integration System and the Spanish Cooperation Agency in Madrid considered with "category epidemic in Central America.
Throughout the area, the number of such deaths doubled between 2003 and 2009 with over five thousand murders in Guatemala, in this case since 2000 - followed by Honduras, El Salvador and the Dominican Republic.
While the female leads in the insignificant figures, adds instead a growing number of victims, high at 160 per cent between 2003 and 2007, whereas for males then increased only at 50 percent.
It is considered that this is enhanced by "the use of firearms, trafficking and trafficking in women - with" primarily for sexual exploitation - and the coexistence of "sale of children born in the context of trafficking ".
On February 16, news media reported from Mexico, Ciudad Juarez in the Mexican state of Chihuahua, was declared "disaster area" because "terror seized" of everyday life.
The state Congress chief, Maria Avila Serna, said there that "the stories are frightening," because "there are families who no longer even go to restaurants, for fear that drug traffickers they pulled off their daughters, if they like , although they are minors.
Given this, then developed military Coordinated Operation Chihuahua, whose scheme was based on "territorial control" and actions against vehicles without license plates or that the Americans had, and in bars, taverns and brothels.
A report by the Woodrow Wilson International Center reflects that the Secretary General of the Organization of American States Jose Miguel Insulza, recently revealed that this region, with only eight percent of the world population in 2009 was 40 per cent of firearm homicides and 66 percent of kidnappings in the world.
It recognized that the homicide rate in Latin America and the Caribbean twice in the present world average, although in some countries quintupled.
In this regard he added that organized crime, drug trafficking and other evils have a transnational, with increasing magnitude across the continent and manifestations as actual drug trafficking, kidnapping, weapons proliferation and human trafficking.
This comes as a progressive state, since when poverty began to deepen regional urban macrocephaly in the second half of the twentieth century.
While it is argued that life expectancy tended to rise from 50 to 70 years, it is also true that a generation of parents migrating to cities in search of a better future which then caused the explosion in the hills Caracas, violence in the favelas of Rio and, finally, the fight for survival in Latin American cities.
In 1950, only 41 percent of Latin America's population lived in cities, but in 2000 the percentage had risen to 75, almost twice statistically.
But this was not a reflection only of migration, but also a growing urban population was 69 million at mid-century in Latin America and the Caribbean 391 million in 2000, an increase of 332 million city dwellers.
By then the region was barely between 161 and 175 million people, but now exceeds 550 million and, according to projections, will rise to 695 million by 2025 and 794 million in 2050, alarming expectation if not modified expansion violence.
In this context, WHO considers that the murders are, without doubt, a serious public health problem, with an even greater dimension than wars.
Not always recognized, however, affect how the deficiencies in the population statistics of violence in Latin America the most unequal region in the world.
In 2009, ECLAC reported that regional poverty increased by 1.1 percent and extreme poverty by 0.8 in relation to 2008 and that, as a result, the poor rose from 180 to 189 million (34.1 percent of the population) and the indigent from 71 to 76 million (13.7 percent), to roll back even very insufficient progress achieved between 2002 and 2007.
Again increasing insecurity and crisis adds to population growth, urban concentration in the last 60 years, the economic and social inequality correlated, and a silent war, as reflected in statistics, triggered by poverty.
