The persecution for Christians. The total population of Christians has been historically the largest in the World, however during thislast period from 2010-2021 the situation has changed. Influenced by some demographic, democratic,social, and religious factors, there has been a growth in the number of Christians being persecuted. It issurprising that it has not be declared as a genocide, since the number of deaths is going up every year. Although the majority of States have signed and they defend the Humans Rights and Liberties, in thereal basis this only remains in the paper. Therefore, to providing visibility to this awful and hiddenreality, this project aims to study and the factors that have led to this situation and what are theconsequences to the persecuted Christians. First of all, this analytic document reveals the evolution of the general situation in the World regardingreligions, and population by region. Secondly, it shows some links between the region and itscharacteristics with the evolution of the religions. After that it aims to analyze the list of the 50 countrieswhere there is more persecution for Christians. Following a comparison of data with other sources andreports it will make some hipotesis: the countries with a Muslim majority population and with morerestricted governments have less freedom of religion and therefore, more persecution fro Christians. Later, it will provide some data on the impact that this situation could have on the lives of millions ofpeople that live under persecution. For instance, some of the greater impacts are in mortality, civilliberties and well-being conditions. Although this analysis is mostly generic, it will make somedistinctions on the subgroups of Christianity, giving to the differences in conditions. This study on theimpacts will lead to the future projections of the situation. In other words, how this situation mightevolve in the future years. And which relation could be in the number of Christians around the Worldand the conditions that might affect them, mainly persecution. Finally as conclusions, it will recap the greatest findings of all the analysis and some ofrecommendations or suggestions that could change the situation. In a different direction, from a socialand humanitarian view, it will make clear the risk factors of this sector of population of the world andthe remedies that should be. After all this situation has been since the beginning and it will continuesince it has been promised: Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs isthe kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds ofevil against you falsely on my account. (Matthew 5:10-11). |
