The ignorance of people astonishes me. Venezuela IS by far one of the most dangerous countries in the world, ever since Chavez has been president. Yes, the poverty has decreased, but violence has increased. You can't leave your house without the fear of being kiddnapped or killed. Venezuela is the way Rafael describes it and it is very sad because Venezuela is a beautiful country!

I live in Caracas. I'm sorry to say that crime in Venezuela is worst than described. There were 19,541 murders in 2009 and only 977 persons were convicted for homicide (5%).

According to several sources in Venezuela there are about 75 murders per 100,000 inhabitants, but in Caracas the rate rises to almost 200!

The fact that we are one of the happiest countries in the world only tells that hope is still stronger than fear. We will endure!

What in the world are you talking about? children and women traffiked and exploited for sexual tourism? I think yiou're confusing Venezuela with Costa Rica or other central american countries where this problem really exists.

I happen to be a Venezuelan woman and by no means Venezuela is the way you describe it. There IS crime, but it is as in any big city in the world, I can dare to say that Italy (where I live) is a much more dangerous country. .
