El reconocimiento de los derechos humanos y la garantía de las igualdades de género en habitantes de la calle y madres cabeza de hogar en la ciudad de Barranquilla

Abstract

In Colombia, as in the regions that are part of its territory, they are affected by the violation of human rights, the lack of respect for them. The city of Barranquilla is no stranger to this phenomenon and it is observed that at an accelerated pace it is increasing and acquiring greater visibility, despite existing legislation both nationally and internationally. Every day there is frequent observance of disrespect for the inhabitants of the street, for abandoned people and the lack of consideration towards women heads of household in some sectors of the population of this city.

There are sectors, such as the North Historic Center Town and the South East Town of the city of Barranquilla, that are overwhelmed by the phenomenon of human rights violations, which, in the first, is made visible by the homeless and, in the second, it is concentrated in gender equality towards women heads of household. In the street dwellers, through a quick non-participant observation, it was possible to perceive that they suffer from some physical and mental illnesses and addiction, in some cases, to the consumption of psychoactive substances. This situation from the social point of view makes the rest of society marginalize and exclude them, without taking into account that they are subjects of rights. This exclusion contributes to the circle of poverty in this society becoming even larger.

With regard to mothers who are heads of households, it is also considered a violation of human rights when there is no gender equality, as long as it is the woman who assumes responsibility for the home, even when there is a man living with her. she as a husband or permanent or occasional partner. In this sense, the woman feels that she does not have the support or commitment of another person to face the activities that require the attention of the children.
