Regional Protection and Migration Programme
Latin America faces the second largest forced displacement crisis in the world with 7.1 million people forcibly displaced from Venezuela, Central America, the Caribbean and other continents. 6.2 million more are displaced in their own country. Persons in human mobility need protection against gender-based violence, exploitation and exclusion. In Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, Switzerland addresses causes and consequences of displacement, providing aid, striving for integration and supporting actors to protect the most vulnerable.

Contexto |
The Americas are facing the highest figures in continental migration in the world: 26 million people migrated from Latin America towards North America. Migration grew a 72% from 2000 to 2020. The second largest migration crisis in the world occurs on the continent: forced displacement from Venezuela amounts to 7.1 million people. Colombia, Peru and Ecuador are the top three host countries with 4.5 million Venezuelans. Latin America and the Caribbean show alarming levels of violence; the rate of homicides (17.2 per 100’000 people) is the highest recorded in the region. Regionally, around 70% of women have been victims of gender-based violence (GBV) and rates of in-family GBV are higher in Colombia (30%), Ecuador (33%) and Peru (38%) than the world average (27%). Risks are considerably higher for women, girls and LGBTIQ+ persons in mobility. In Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, figures of internal displacement due to conflict and violence, amount to 5.3 million. Armed actors from Colombia and Venezuela are increasingly active in transnational organised crime and have gained unprecedented geographic reach, with Venezuelan networks of trafficking in persons active down to Chile. Political turmoil regularly affects Ecuador and Peru. |
