Mexico: safe spaces for children on the move
Juli left Honduras with her pregnant mother, her aunt, and her younger sister. They decided to leave to reunite with her grandmother who lives in the United States and whom she had only met on video call.
They first took a bus to reach Mexico and then jumped on 'the beast' – la bestia –, a goods train that crosses the entire country from south to north. They managed to reach the border town of Tijuana, where they settled in a shelter waiting to obtain permission to cross the border.
