Unfortunately, many neighborhoods in America became unsafe due to the increase of gang activities, drug activities, and violent crimes. These three elements are the causes of unsafe neighborhoods.

Gangs in Society Gangs are a major problem in today’s society. Gangs such as MS, a criminal gang originated by Salvadoran immigrants, take place in our neighborhoods and corrupt the young children who are easily influenced by the violent behavior as well. Many gangs threaten the safety of everyone in their neighborhood. Innocent people living in gang war towns live in constant fear of death.

Del Hendrix son of Barito Onda, a gang-outreach program, remembers an MS-13 member who recounted one of his earliest memories: guarding the family's crops at the age of 4, armed with a machete, alone at night. When he and others reached the mean streets of the L.A. ghetto, Mexican gangs preyed on them.
Told from a clear perspective, the story follows her experiences through bars around Limuru and also in Ilmorog. She is a school dropout because her parents lacked money. As a naive young rural woman desperate for employment, she falls prey to the deceit of an exploiter who promises to find her a job but, instead, dumps her after a one-night stand. Consequently, she finds herself trapped in a situation completely out to her experience leading to prostitution, a profession that is dehumanizing to womanhood. Differently from Wanjiru, “Mommy”, how her son calls her on “Night Women” feels trapped in between the day and night women from Ville Rose, taking men home and fulfilling her job around her sleeping son with only a curtain in between.
