What are some forms of violence to human life?
The most obvious forms of violence are murder, war, slaughter and genocide. But this violence is also being done to millions of human beings, especially children, who are forced into poverty, malnutrition and hunger because of an unjust distribution of resources between people and between social classes. This violence is also practiced by the scandalous arms trade which spawns the deadly armed conflicts which make our century the most bloody in human history. This violence is seen in the criminal spread of drugs, in the promotion of sexual activity which results in grave risks to life.
