Description
Context
Mexico is a country of origin, transit, destination and return of girls, boys and adolescents (NNA) in situations of mobility, which represents great challenges. Chiapas is the main entry and return door for children and adolescents and migrant families from countries such as Venezuela, Honduras and Guatemala. It has also registered a migratory flow of people from Caribbean countries, such as Haiti and Cuba, Venezuela and other countries on the Asian and African continent. During the year 2023, the National Migration Institute (INM) identified 1,156,773 people in a migration context. Likewise, the Mexican Commission for Refugee Assistance (COMAR) received 77,450 applications in its Tapachula office during the same period, which represents 54% of the applications for refugee status in the country.
When girls, boys, adolescents and pregnant women arrive in Mexican territory, most of them have already gone through various situations that have prevented the exercise of their rights. Regarding the right to health, there are barriers that can prevent access and enjoyment of this right, resulting in the deterioration of one’s physical condition. Despite the lack of information for the context of children on the move, it is consistent to say that girls, boys, adolescents and pregnant women on the move suffer from difficulties in accessing health services when entering the national territory. It is important to emphasize that, within this group, there are women in the gestational period and children under two years of age, who are especially vulnerable due to the period of development in which they are found. Some of the difficulties they experience in accessing public health services are the following:
- Discrimination in health centers based on nationality.
- Lack of knowledge of the right to health on the part of people in the context of mobility.
- Regulations that make access to health services difficult by not having official Mexican documents.
- Lack of access routes to health services.
- Language barrier.
