Mexico: safe spaces for children on the move
Juli's favorite activities are painting, learning words and numbers, and drawing pictures.
“Before the pandemic, the situation was already critical for migrant children like Juli. Now, migrants in Mexico have greater difficulties in accessing sources of employment, having government support due to their lack of documents, or resorting to formal and informal support networks,” says Maripina Menéndez, CEO of Save the Children in Mexico.
“This precariousness has increased the anxiety, frustration, and vulnerability of the migrant population, affecting children and adolescents. It is necessary to double our efforts and implement all the necessary mechanisms to protect their rights and ensure their well-being,” she states.
