I Have Pimples On My Nose



Nicaragua suffers a huge social injustice. 78% of the population is economically poor and survive on less than $ 2 per day, while 2% of the population live in extreme wealth. Poverty is highly concentrated in the north of the country and in the autonomous regions on the Atlantic coast.

Poverty strongly affects children, adolescents and youth. In Nicaragua 71% of the population is young, ie under 30 years and 52% are in the ages 0-18. Too many children and young people by necessity have to mature early, and you find children working from 7 to 12 pm and afternoon in school from 12 to 18h, if van.Uno each four children born in the country is of a teenage minor. More than 167 000 children work to contribute to family income and its own on-experience.


Because of this poverty is the connection between addiction, violence, delinquency, we find a lot of children living in social risk and vulnerability in Nicaragua, having cases of sexual abuse with 40%. In most of these cases it is children and adolescents between 9 and 15. Many times the abuser is within the same family


Within the population affected by abuse are also disabled. The situation is helpless because there are no mechanisms to remove such children from the family environment, is where suffering abuse


WORD OF THE DAY:

PLASTIC :

This term is used as we would say posh. Eg plastic is a boy.

The truth is that after seeing so much poverty collides see a group of people who are blind and do not see this situation in which his people live.
