Encounters with violence in Latin America
Violence in Latin America is a deeply entrenched issue influenced by historical legacies, socio-economic inequalities, and political instability. It manifests in various forms, including criminal violence driven by drug trafficking and gang activity, political violence linked to conflicts and human rights abuses, and pervasive domestic violence. The impact of such violence is profound, contributing to social fragmentation, psychological trauma, and ongoing insecurity. Addressing these challenges requires a multifaceted approach that combines effective law enforcement, comprehensive social programs, and community engagement, alongside efforts to address the root causes of violence and foster long-term stability.
