Colombia is ranked near the lower end of the World Watch List. However, it is one of the top 10 countries where children suffer most from conflict. It also has one of the highest rates of child homicide.In areas under control of criminal groups, children tend to be forcefully recruited and indoctrinated. The guerrilla indoctrination of children affects Christian girls more, since they not only have to accept the violent ideologies imposed on them, but it’s also highly likely that they become victims of rape and sexual harassment.Christians and church leaders who try to prevent young people from joining these groups, or share the Gospel with gang members, suffer harassment, abduction, extortion and some are even killed.While in indigenous communities, Christian parents are likely threatened if they’re found raising their children according to the Christian faith. They then face fines, detentions and possible eviction from their community. -- source link
