Regional Report Maps Childhood Migration

A comprehensive regional study, Childhood and Migration in Central and North America: Causes, Policies, Practices and Challenges (Childhood, Migration, and Human Rights) released by CGRS concludes that conditions, laws, policies, and practices throughout the Northern Central America-Mexico-United States corridor systematically violate the human rights of migrant children and children whose parents are migrants. The authors—civil society organizations and academics with expertise in children, migration, and human rights—call on Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, and the United States to reform laws and policies and to develop a regional response to guarantee children’s rights in countries of origin, transit, and destination.
