The principal cause is drug trafficking and organized crime. Ecuador is located between Colombia and Perú, countries that produce cocaine, it is considered a strategic route for drug trafficking. During the last decade, powerful international cartels from Mexico, Colombia, and even Europe have formed alliances with Ecuadorian gangs such as Los Choneros, Los Lobos, and Tiguerones. These groups fight for drug trafficking route control, resulting in lethal violence not only on the streets but also within prisons.

The increase in poverty is another reason for the rise in insecurity in Ecuador, almost half of the rural population in Ecuador lives in poverty, with few employment or educational opportunities. Poverty also is a main factor behind the involvement of young people in crime, for many young people, joining a gang is not a choice, but a means of survival. The lack of state presence in impoverished areas only worsens the situation, making these communities breeding grounds for criminal recruitment.

In addition, Ecuador’s institutions have struggled to respond effectively to the growing threat of organized crime. Prisons are largely under the control of gangs, the justice system is not functioning properly, and cases of corruption within the police and army are on the rise. Criminal networks operate with impunity, eroding public confidence in the rule of law and the ability of the state to protect its citizens.

Finally, Political violence has also become a serious concern. The assassination of presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio in 2023 sent shockwaves through the nation and exposed the deep entrenchment of criminal groups in political life.

In conclusion, Ecuador is at a critical crossroads. Growing violence and insecurity threaten not only the safety of its citizens but also the development of the country. Although the causes are complex, solutions require unified action across political, social, and economic lines. Addressing violence in Ecuador requires more than security forces; it requires opportunities, justice, and hope.

Moreover, many families who live in the countryside are poor and cannot afford basic technological devices such as smartphones or computers. Even though students want to study and improve their future, they simply do not have the necessary tools.

In addition, most rural schools don’t have computers, projectors, or smartboards. The government invests more in urban schools, which gives rural schools fewer resources and opportunities. As a result, there is a great inequality in access to technology.

First, many children in poor families have to work for help TO HELP their parents get money. So, they can’t go to school all days EVERYDAY or study enough. This make MAKES it hard for them to learn and have better future. Also, many poor families can’t pay for school uniforms, books, or transport.
