Apesar dos progressos alcançados, a igualdade efetiva entre homens e mulheres ainda está muito longe. As desigualdades estruturais estão na ordem do dia em todas as áreas e as políticas públicas ainda estão longe de ser equitativas

So far this century, although various governments have offered to implement integrated public security policies against maras or gangs, i.e. a systematic combination of prevention, institutional strengthening, social reinsertion and repression, in practice, at different times, one of these approaches has prevailed: exacerbated punishment (mano dura plans), selective punishment (prosecution, investigation and police intelligence) and informal agreements between gangs, known as truces, to reduce homicides, which, while not the only indicator of violence, are a fundamental one.
Até o presente século, embora vários governos tenham se oferecido para implementar políticas de segurança abrangentes contra maras ou gangues, ou seja, uma combinação sistemática de prevenção, fortalecimento institucional, reinserção social e repressão, na prática, em diferentes momentos, uma dessas abordagens prevaleceu: punição exacerbada (planos mano dura), punição seletiva (ação penal, investigação e inteligência policial) e acordos informais entre gangues, conhecidos como truces, para reduzir os homicídios que, embora não sejam o único indicador de violência, são fundamentais.
