Infos

Rule-of-law violations and press freedom violations persist in Ecuador and Colombia; particularly on the Colombia-Ecuador frontier, a region now considered one of the world's most deadliest for journalists - the shocking murder of journalist Javier Ortega, and his two travelling partners Paul Rivas and Efrain Segarra, underlining this. Gender inequality also seems to be a major challenge in Ecuador and Colombia. According to the Amnesty International Report 2018, violence against women, particularly sexual violence, persisted in Colombia - as well as in Ecuador, as about 90% of Ecuadorian women who experience violence seem to be reluctant to take action against their perpetrator; because family problems are considered private matters in Ecuador. Critical, but also deeply sensitive and humane, this book endeavours to improve public policy in the South America, so that peace and harmony can be manifested in the region. Social challenges - such as crime, poverty and civil unrest - are also explored in this work.
