Use Cases

• Study demographic patterns by cross-referencing victim sex (SEXO), ethnicity (ETNIA), life cycle stage (CICLO_VITAL), and disability status (DISCAPACIDAD).
• Model the frequency of specific conflict events (EVENTOS) and their associated parameters (PARAM_HECHO) across different regions (COD_DT).
• Investigate declarations of victim status (PER_DECLA) and occupation (PER_OCU) to understand affected population profiles.

Strengths
