The Cristosal Foundation presented its report on the situation of children and youth in the face of forced displacement caused by violence. The document indicates that between January 2016 and March 2018, 41.3% of the displaced people are boys and girls between the ages of zero and 11.
Similarly, 38% of the displaced people are youth between 18 and 25 years of age, while 20.6% are adolescents between 12 and 17 years of age. The report maintains that the proportion of victimization does not seem to differentiate between sexes since in the aforementioned period, 51% of the displaced people were men and 49% were women.
