Arts, Culture & Crime Prevention in Mexico
Some Mexican communities are being affected by poverty, violence and crime (i.e., drug trafficking and human trafficking). In 2013 the Ministry of Culture of the Mexican government launched the program “Mexico: Culture for Harmony” to promote arts and culture as tools to prevent crime. Nine young women, members of the community of San Pablo del Monte, joined the project in February 2014 and, today, bring to Harvard 30 pictures reflecting on the reality of their community.
