In our country, the numbers of insecurity and crime are alarming according to the latest National Urban Public Safety Survey of June 2022, where 72.9% of women and 60.9% of men believe that living in their city is unsafe, in which they stand out Fresnillo , Zacatecas, Ciudad Obregon, Irapuato, Cuautitlán Iskalli and Colima with 97.2%, 90.4%, 89.7%, 89.7%, 89.0% and 87.5% respectively.

We are not a number, it is Debany Escobar, who became the banner of feminist and human rights groups, and Fredid Roman, the last journalist killed in Chilpancingo, Guerrero, the 15th union murder in 2022. Mexico, where the exercises take place, journalism is more risky than a war correspondent; yes, a country where organized crime owns the streets, a country where the word “justice” is not as common as the word “impunity”, where education is a luxury, not a right, a country of inequality, a country with a serious water shortage problem, a country where animal cruelty is an everyday affair and a minor punishment, a country where human trafficking is a business, not a crime, a country where children are not allowed to play, they become a target for organized crime, a country with little investment certainty and with numerous social problems, like in other countries, but this is our country. What are we doing wrong? What happened to us on the way to decline?
According to the World Economic Forum, it has been found that the main reason for Mexico’s lack of competitiveness in international markets is the lack of public safety, in particular the presence of organized crime and distrust of the police.
Mexico has a history and we can say that yes, current or past rulers have a lot of responsibility, but as a society, we must understand that we also have a responsibility, there are those who say that we have the governments that we deserve, But then what kind of society are we? what do we deserve? and the most important question, what do we do to change what we don’t like?
Our country requires social responsibility because change does not depend entirely on a few people, we must start from our homes, educate and re-educate, dedicate ourselves to caring for the environment, forming resilient, conscious and empathetic people in the face of the many challenges that the world is facing. . To educate responsible citizens who are able to understand the cause and effect of actions, who are able to look for opportunities to have a positive impact, who are able to demand in the face of injustice, who are able to care for a living being and its environment, who is able to create rather than destroy, who is able to love Mexico.
