| Abstract (English): |
Is avoidable childhood mortality in Colombia a type of violence? Childhood analysis mortality requires a broader approach than a purely biological one, as this situation reflects the confluence of social, environmental, economic, and political factors, among others, which portray the vulnerability of this population group. At the global level, efforts to control mortality have yielded significant achievements; however, low- and middle-income countries still show high and uneven figures across regions, related primarily to violence as a latent phenomenon. The objective of this essay was to reflect on childhood mortality as a form of indirect violence. In conclusion, avoidable childhood mortality needs to be analyzed from a political perspective that allows for the identification of the different forms of violence portrayed in this event. Consequently, it can be stated that avoidable childhood mortality as a form of violence requires analysis from an intersectoral and multidisciplinary approach that enables the prioritization of actions to control it.

| Abstract (Spanish): |
¿Es la mortalidad evitable en la niñez en Colombia una forma de violencia? El análisis de la mortalidad en la infancia está superando el enfoque netamente biológico, pues esta situación es reflejo de la confluencia de aspectos sociales, ambientales, económicos y políticos entre otros, los cuales retratan la vulnerabilidad de este grupo poblacional. A nivel mundial, la lucha para controlar la mortalidad ha generado grandes logros, mientras que los países de medianos y bajos ingresos aún presentan cifras altas y dispares entre regiones, relacionadas principalmente con la violencia como un fenómeno latente. Por ello, el objetivo de este ensayo es reflexionar sobre la mortalidad en la infancia como una forma de violencia indirecta. En conclusión, la mortalidad evitable en la niñez requiere ser analizada desde una visión política que permita identificar las diferentes violencias que se retratan en este suceso. Por ello, la mortalidad evitable en la niñez como una forma de violencia requiere ser analizada desde un enfoque intersectorial y multidisciplinar que permita priorizar acciones para controlarla.
