Violence against afro-colombian people

Because of Colombia's history, this is a multicultural country. On it, is common recognize differences between their population. One of the easier to see is the difference on the skin colour between each other. 
The afro-colombians are an ethnic group inside the country, who are characterized for been of dark complexion. For this reason and for the intolerance of some people accustomed to see to the other people like inferior,  they have been victim of the violence,  

The afro-colombians are (generally or in majority) poor people, who are living on extremes conditions, or on violence's zone. This have reinforced the stereotype that they are just people without education, or not visionaries. Sometimes the goverment forget them at all. For that reason, is constitutional to take their judgements into account and all the social circles. To be a minority or from an ethnic group, doesn´t mean that you don´t have rights. 

Marta is an afro-colombian little girl. She is not studying, because when she was on the school she was attacked by her classmates for her skin's colour. When all those guys grow up, they going to still thinking that is right to treat on that way to someone who is your equal. It doesn't matter how different they look like. 

The violence related to the discrimination, is not easily educable. Even more if it is learned from the childhood. Is important to detect on time, to teach values about it. We need to work about this topic. Eradicate the violence against afro-colombian people, is recognize them like part (an important part) of our society, is the opportunity to recognize how much they have been contributed for the develop of  our society, and how vulnerables they are.
