Rising violence causes people to seek refuge in safer areas. This is true of the drugs war as it is of more conventional civil war. In Colombia, the UNHCR estimates that 6.9 million people have been displaced from their homes by violence. It is impossible to tell how many of those would still be living in their homes if it hadn’t been for the rise in violence catalysed by the drugs war. As drugs war violence increased in Mexico, people have similarly had to look for safer options. Displacement, migration, refuge: these broad concepts often hide the extent to which fear of violence has forced Mexicans to move. At the same time, and for similar reasons linked to rise of drug-related violence, hundreds of thousands of Central Americans have been displaced to Mexico. The cycle of drug war, violence and displacement continues every day, often out of sight of the global media.

Anyone's child could be a victim of drugs policy.
