     According to road traffic fatality statistics collected by Luchemos por la Vida worldwide, Argentina has 5 times more deaths per million inhabitants and 11 times more deaths per million vehicles than the 10 safest countries in the world.

     The Argentine State committed to the UN to reduce mortality in Argentina by 50% during the 2021-2030 decade. Will it be achieved this time? To answer this question, it is necessary to review the Action Goals proposed by the United Nations within the approach of a Safe System for Sustainable Development and reflect on the situation in our country.

      It is clearer than ever what needs to be done to reduce this terrible number of deaths in preventable traffic accidents.

    Governments are responsible for these incidents. Road users have the right, and also the obligation, to respect the laws in shared public spaces for the sake of their own lives and the lives of others.
