Tears and Bullets

The violence in Honduras is similar to that experienced in war zones.This Country has the second highest homicide rate in the world and the data reveal that in the last 20 years one woman was killed every day.
Natural families are often absent and for many kids the gang replaces this absence because in it they find solidarity and sense of belonging and this double track of ferocity and abandonment are the two sides of the same coin.
Often the kids who join a gang are the product of the environment in which they live and like every human being they learn to give life what they receive from it.
