The violence that kills young people in Mexico
In Mexico, being young can be a sentence of violence in states like Guanajuato, Sonora, Mexico or Zacatecas, where the population lives under the siege of drug trafficking and organized crime on a daily basis. Experts speak of lost generations, while thousands of young people are recruited to commit crimes or killed in their fight against inequality, dispossession and the violence that keeps their claims alive. During 2021, around 26,000 adolescents and young people between the ages of 15 and 24 died in Mexico. This equates to a mortality rate of 12.08 per thousand people in that age range. While the world average is 11, according to estimates by the most recent report of the United Nations Interagency Group for the Estimation of Infant Mortality (IGME).
