Children in the Situation of Human Mobility and the Role of Municipalities of Central America

In September 2018, the Central American Learning Circle on Children’s Rights and Local Development convened a seminar in Apaneca, El Salvador, about “Children in a situation of human mobility and the role of municipalities in Central America.”

Representatives from organizations from Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and Nicaragua knew about the present day situation of migration in our countries, shared experiences and reflected on the challenges and possible strategies Central American municipalities could develop.
