Los asentamientos informales en Latinoamerica

Latin America is a region of cities without citizens and citizens without cities. There are 113 million Latin Americans living in these settlements, where the human rights of its inhabitants are violated. Contradicting these rights, our communities are characterized by the irregularity of land tenure. Difficulties in regularizing land, social segregation, and the lack of capacity and willingness of governments to respond to the interests and needs of our population place us in a situation of social exclusion that prevents us from accessing goods and services associated with our rights, such as education, health, social security, among others.
