Background |
Colombia continues to be the country with the largest number of Venezuelan migrants in Latin America. It has become a destination and a transit route to other countries in the region; in both cases with high protection risks for women, youth, boys and girls. While many migrants are still in a transit, the number of people settling in the country is growing. Cali –a city near the Pacific coast and the border with Ecuador– hosts displaced victims of the armed conflict, settled in the same areas where the migrant and returnee population is arriving. There are limited actions that facilitates integration processes, in a context of protection risks especially for women, youngsters and children due to to illegal economies and armed actors. |
