Community security as a Subset of mortal security is defined as protection against the breakdown of communities, as a result of loss of traditional connections and values, and from insular and ethnical violence (UNDP 1994).
The UNDP’s 1994 Human Development Report specifically looks at the security of ethnical nonages and indigenous groups. Pitfalls to community security can come from several factors. These include unfairness, rejection from other groups and pitfalls from the state.
The more recent 2009 UNDP publication, Community security and social Solidarity Towards a UNDP approach provides a more distended notion of community security which combines both group and particular security, while centering largely on freedom from fear. troubles to particular and group security can include troubles from the state( physical torture), pitfalls from other countries in the case of war, pitfalls from other groups of people( ethnical pressure), pitfalls from individual or gangs pitfalls directed against women( rape, domestic violence), pitfalls directed at children( child abuse), and pitfalls to tone( self-murder, medicine use)( UNDP 2009).
One observes that the rearmost UNDP description of community security is no longer just confined to ethnical nonages but also to women and children who are considered among the most vulnerable groups.
