Amid recent shifts in U.S. cooperation funding and regional migration management policies, organizations in Guatemala continue their holistic and collaborative efforts to protect the rights of displaced children and families. In this webinar, grassroots, national, and global organizations shared how the new U.S. migration and funding policies are impacting displaced children and families—particularly those of Indigenous origin—as well as the work of the entities that support them.
The webinar highlighted the responses of civil society organizations working to protect the rights of displaced children and families. These efforts range from safeguarding the rights of displaced children within the Northern Triangle and Mexico, the safe return and reintegration of unaccompanied Guatemalan children, community development, the support of the Indigenous Guatemalan diaspora in the United States, and the search for historical justice for displaced Guatemalans.
This event was co-sponsored by the Georgetown University Collaborative on Global Children's Issues and the Georgetown Americas Institute.
The webinar was held in English and Spanish, with simultaneous interpretation.
