My take on the situation at the U.S. border, especially considering the Haitians seeking refuge following the devastating earthquake this summer. https://t.co/d86u3BWr8P

Today I met @GeorgetownMrpi students on my 1st in person event during #COVID19. Lots of protocols, short time, few people.

🔹We discussed gaps in the literature on migration, and in policy responses and the key opportunities brought forth by migratory systems in the Region.

[MRPI Georgetown @GeorgetownMrpi]

Yesterday we were honored to host @BeticaMunozPogo, director of @OAS_Inclusion, who discussed migration flows in #LatinAmerica and key policy opportunities for regional #migration.

Thank you to Dr. Betica for this great event and flexibility with all COVID restrictions!

[Betilde Muñoz-Pogossian @BeticaMunozPogo]

The Darien Gap is considered to be the deadliest migration route in the Americas.

🔹Crossing it means facing assaults by gangs, sexual violence, despair.

👶 UNICEF also reported that 2021 broke the record in terms of the number of migrant children crossing that jungle.
