Crime a hungry child
Daniel E.
According to United Nations Organization for Food and Agriculture Argentina, whose inhabitants represent 0 , 65% of world population, produces 1.61% of meat and 1.51% of cereals consumed globally.
In this scenario it is perverse that, according to the latest report of the Social Debt Observatory of the Universidad Católica Argentina, a 27.9% of children are exposed to risk food of which 6% experiencing hunger often, and if you take into account specifically for children of low socioeconomic status is estimated that 60% is at risk food of which 26% usually hungry.
also results in damage, according to the Center of Studies on Infant Nutrition one of every two deaths that occur in children under 5 malnutrition plays a role, for each child who dies before 5 years there are 6 surviving children with chronic malnutrition and 23 children they lack the iron and anemic, and, while nationally 8 of every 100 children suffer from chronic malnutrition in northern Argentina 1 in 7 children have chronic malnutrition .
For his part, National Movement of the People Guys where institutions come together 400 NGOs working with poor children whose lives are at risk, says these children who die every day, such as taxes blood, are not part of any agenda. The bodies of a poem is always small, however for those who survive malnutrition leaves them crippled. Blank looks. Premature old ages. Affects empty worlds unimaginable.
However these figures refer to domestic debt with Argentine leaders with millions of small creditors, and hungry, they get the crumbs of the economic development of a country that continues to prioritize payments to international organizations on feeding their young to those who intended social plans, mostly fail to modify the structural poverty in which they live.
For example, does little more than a year, launched the Universal Assignment for Child that, while aimed help parents of children under 18 years poor, is deficient because the money they charge the beneficiaries is not enough to meet the needs of their children and also those who do not receive the document (an issue common among the disadvantaged) always worked in the informal economy circuit and are not registered with the Social Security (not ever having worked in white or received any social plan), or have children who are not vaccinated or school (requirements that an employee is asked Formal charge the Family Allowance per child).
In this context, as I said years ago the Bishop Miguel Hesayne, must shout crime in a society hungry children in Argentina. All day and all media should be in the forefront and must be the concern of the Christian community. For as the Pope claimed in Viedma, "If a man, a woman, a boy, a youth, elderly persons, a Christian can not live peacefully." So what to do about the reality of Argentina's thousands and thousands of hungry children? We can not stay quiet.
