The Invisible Plague Destroying Hope for the World's Poor
Imagine waking up every day knowing that you or your children could be beaten, raped, enslaved, or killed - with absolutely no consequences for the perpetrators. This is the daily reality for billions of the world's poorest people. While we focus on hunger, disease, and economic development, a hidden epidemic of violence systematically destroys everything good that poverty alleviation efforts try to build. In "The Locust Effect," Gary Haugen and Victor Boutros reveal a devastating truth: violence isn't just a symptom of poverty - it's one of its primary causes. Consider eight-year-old Yuri from Peru, found brutally murdered in the street, her legs bound with wire cables. When her mother Lucila rushed home on a 12-hour overnight bus journey, she discovered a horrifying truth - justice must be purchased. Without money for a lawyer, her daughter's killers would never face consequences. This isn't an isolated tragedy. For billions of the world's poorest, violence isn't just common - it's virtually guaranteed to go unpunished.
