Fewer women from central and South America journey to the United States

The Mexican newspaper Vanguardia reports that the migration of women from Central and South America to the United States has declined over the past two years according to figures from Coahuila delegation of the National Immigration Institute of Mexico (INM).

The immigration office estimates that 90 percent of migrants who arrive in Mexico are men. The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) expressed concern about violations of rights of transit migrants, women and human rights defenders in Mexico. The international body also mentioned the seriousness of incidents of violence in recent months, including torture, rape, murders and kidnappings committed against undocumented migrants as they pass through Mexico on their way to the United States.

Additionally, according to a joint study by the United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef) and the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), more than a million migrant children in Latin America are exposed to abuse and exploitation during their journey to the United States. According to the report, children are at greater risk of abuse than adults.
