Multiple factors contribute to violence, and only a multidisciplinary approach can be used to deal with this situation. Strategic errors committed by governments, such as not giving priority to basic health care or education, and foreign obligations producing severe economic recession, cause the people, especially children, to be subjected to political and social violence. Poverty and its associated risks are linked to violence. However, not all people living in poverty present problems of violence. Some results of living in poverty are high rates of child mortality, illiteracy, malnutrition, excessive population growth, street children, and the disintegration of families. Weak or nonexistent family ties can lead to frustration and hopelessness. In Brazil, an integrated action program was developed for at-risk individuals and their families, based upon the idea of building and reinforcing family ties and intergenerational togetherness. Undernourished infants, street children, the handicapped, women subjected to violence, and neglected senior citizens received special interventions as part of the program described.
