| Sumario: | Forced recruitment in Colombia, as a social reality that affects the youth, fulfils several conditions defined within the category of juvenicide. This article provides a series of reflections for-mulated on the basis of voices of four young victims of this harsh reality; their testimonies exhibit the enduring relation-ship between social inequality, vulnerability and poverty as fac-tors that precede such form of victimization within the armed conflict’s context. Finally, the authors identify different aspects of armed life that serve as an environment for juvenicide from a particular segment of the population, particularly, the poor young people who are socially excluded and lack resources to build and live their lives apart from violence.
