They came mostly from Mexico, Honduras and Venezuela, but also from Colombia, Guatemala and more distant locations such as Afghanistan and Haiti. The number of unaccompanied children traveling through Mexico to reach the United States has more than doubled in recent years, increasing from 69,488 in 2019 to 137,275 in 2023, driven by rising violence, deepening poverty and climate change-related displacement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;Migrant children are not finding safety when they cross the border into Mexico; they&#8217;re finding more fear, more waiting, and more lost time,&#8221; said Reena Ghelani, chief executive of Plan International, a UK-based humanitarian and development organization, in a press release. &#8221;No child should find themselves in this situation, especially after enduring such a perilous journey to find safety. They need support now \u2013 including protection, access to safe shelter, education and mental health care. We are seeing families so desperate that children are being forced to consider returning to the very places they fled from. That should never be their only option,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Plan International and Save the Children called for an immediate, coordinated response stating that authorities should strengthen child protection systems in border areas, improve access to education and mental health services, and provide adequate housing that prioritizes children&#8217;s needs. The recent deportation of three U.S. citizen children \u2014 including one with cancer \u2014 to Honduras with their mothers has sparked criticism from human rights advocates. They accuse the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump of deporting children without due process, endangering their lives.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/americas\/migrant-children-face-fear-lack-safety-crossing-mexico-study-shows-2025-05-05\/\">Reuters World<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/157194\/\">Migrant children face fear and lack safety crossing Mexico, study shows<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1196,18708,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-139418","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-mexico","tag-migrant-children","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139418","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139418"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139418\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139418"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139418"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139418"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
