Also in Mexico, the United Nations has launched an $18 million campaign to support Central American unaccompanied migrant children. The Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights says the fund will help protect children escaping sexual violence, extortion and forced conscription into criminal gangs. This is “Ema,” a Honduran child who fled to Mexico.

Ema: “We can’t live in Honduras anymore. There are many people leaving the country for the same reason: crime. The gangs are bad. There are deaths of innocent people, children. We can’t live in Honduras anymore.”

The UNHCR says more than 180,000 children fled Central America in 2016—a tenfold increase over the last five years.
