Mexico: safe spaces for children on the move

Honduras is among the top countries of origin of refugees and migrants determined to make it to the US. The country suffers political instability of a decade-long and is hostage to widespread gang violence, making it one of the three deadliest countries in Latin America.

 

Honduran families often flee to save their lives after criminal gangs kill their family members or threaten to do so if they refuse to give into their demands. The humanitarian consequences of this violence are no different from the ones in conflict zones.

 

The pandemic has made things even more difficult for the 6 out of 10 Hondurans who were already living in a vulnerable situation.
