Why Guatemala is one of the worst places in the world to be a child

〈Summary〉

Guatemala is victim of one of the world’s longest civil conflicts. It continued for 36 years. The civil conflicts left a deep scar in society, in which violence was normalised. This year, world leaders will agree new global goals that will guide world development for the next 15 years‐ the so called Sustainable Development Goals. It is vital that these goals include a robust target to end abuse,exploitation, trafficking and all forms of violence and torture against children, so that this becomes s priority for all countries. This will help unlock the action and investment needed to prevent violence against children, support survivors, and ensure they get justice.

〈My opinion〉

The civil conflict in Guatemala left a deep scar in society, in which violence was normalised. So, they think that Guatemala is worst places in the world to be a child. I think it is important  the environment that they grow up in their childhood.  So it is important for us to maintain the environment where children grow up. I think we have to think this problem more seriously. I think the countries around Guatemala have to send people and goods. But it is very difficult to accomplish immedeately. So, we have to think this problem seriously for long time.
