Etnocidio

Etnocidio, or ethnic cleansing, refers to deliberate efforts to eliminate or destroy the cultural, religious, or ethnic identity of a group. This can involve violence, displacement, or suppression of traditions and language, often driven by hatred, discrimination, or political motives. It aims to erase the presence of a particular group from a region or society, leading to significant human rights violations. Recognizing etnocidio highlights the importance of protecting diverse cultures and preventing such abuses.
