The stories of the refugee, migrant, and internally displaced teens from Central America in these videos are the stories of thousands of children who have fled their communities and countries to escape extreme violence and to save their lives.
KIND, UNICEF, and local partners worked with children in El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico to tell their and their families’ migration stories through drawings and writing as part of our Central American Voices Project. Children also developed recommendations to improve conditions for, and treatment of, migrant, refugee, and displaced children. You can see their individual stories here about gang violence, sexual and gender-based violence, detention conditions, and the fear they felt in detention.
A 15-year-old migrant boy from Honduras describes tough conditions and poor treatment in a Mexican detention facility. Learn about migrant teens’ recommendations for alternatives to migration.
