Argentina
Argentina struggles with severe economic-driven political polarization, pervasive gender-based violence, and world-renowned, highly lethal sports hooliganism.
Who gets targeted here
Sports rivalry violence
Football violence driven by 'Barras Bravas' (organized hooligan mafias) is deeply institutionalized. The violence is so severe that away fans have been banned from stadiums across the country for over a decade.

Political polarization
The 'La Grieta' (The Rift) defines Argentine politics. Intense affective polarization between Peronists and anti-Peronists divides families and dominates all media discourse, exacerbated by hyperinflation.
Where this comes from
- Universidad de San Andrés (2023)
Bias against women and girls
Despite giving rise to the massive 'Ni Una Menos' movement, femicide remains incredibly high. Economic instability traps many women in abusive environments with inadequate state protection.
