Mexico: safe spaces for children on the move
“Increased violence, social unrest, drought, natural hazards and the coronavirus pandemic force more Central Americans to leave their country and their homes each year to find safety and opportunities elsewhere,” says Liesbeth Schockaert, EU Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations expert on Central America.
“Unfortunately, the pathway to safety is becoming more difficult and traumatising, especially for the most vulnerable, the children. That is why in Central America, providing humanitarian assistance and protection to displaced children in Central America is one of our key concerns and why we support the creation of safe spaces for children,” she adds.
