So the population displacements, although they have economics as main reason, it is noteworthy that violent events suffered in their areas of origin have also been a trigger to abandon their homes. Unfortunately, this situation is not recognized by the states, which prefer to see the mobilizations as a solution to joint socio-economic difficulties for some sectors of the population. Without a national protection, victims are vulnerable to organized crime and therefore they resort to external displacement, crossing the border of irregular way, which violates them for the second time. The vulnerability will increase if they decide to start an international migration process.
