Item type:Publication, Refugee information consumption on Twitter(Elsevier, 2020-10-20)The of the study is to describe how society expresses itself in regard to people who, due to war, politics or religion, migrate from their country of origin to foreign countries. Refugees are considered minority groups. Thus, examining their behavior reveals significant data on sociocultural factors (Tsai, 2011). Under a qualitative approach and the netnography method, we used Twitter as an instrument for data collection. The model proposed by Perez-Cepeda and Arias-Bolzmann (2020), which describes cultural factors, is used to analyze the Twitter conversation flow that evidences the sociocultural factors of minority subcultures. Studies have shown that the data structure, classification, categorization, and are based on the information production and consumption of the users who participate in Twitter conversations with @Refugees—the official account of the ACNUR/UNHCR Américas. The findings showed recurrent subjects and sets of ideas related to sociocultural factors, human rights, economic news, critical reflection, and religious topics. Tweets about refugees describe the sociocultural issues around this minority group. This paper focuses on refugees, the consumption of refugee information, text writing, sociocultural factors, and the environment on Twitter. This research contributes to the social sciences, especially to sociocultural interaction studies. The originality of the work is the identification of sociocultural factors related to the social sciences that emerge from minority groups' tweets through images, texts, and objects. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Trouble at the border: migration policy challenges in Peru from a disability perspective(Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, 2021-01-01)El presente artículo explora los retos que enfrenta el sistema migratorio peruano frente a la llegada masiva de refugiados con discapacidad. Utilizando el modelo social de la discapacidad como enfoque de análisis, las autores recalcan la importancia de hacer una lectura interseccional de la política migratoria. De esta manera, identifican, desde un enfoque de discapacidad, los principales problemas en la regulación migratoria peruana en relación con el reconocimiento de calidades migratorias, acceso a servicios públicos y recopilación de información estadísticas. Las autoras concluyen que la legislación peruana aún tiene una gran tarea pendiente de incorporar un enfoque transversal de discapacidad. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Towards a typology of social protection for migrants and refugees in Latin America during the COVID-19 pandemic(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021-12-01)The COVID-19 health crisis has put to the test Latin America’s already precarious social protection systems. This paper comparatively examines what type of social protection has been provided, by whom, and to what extent migrant and refugee populations have been included in these programmes in seven countries of the region during the COVID-19 pandemic, between March and December 2020. We develop a typology of models of social protection highlighting the assemblages of actors, different modes of protection and the emerging migrants’ subjectification in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Uruguay in relation to Non-Contributory Social Transfer (NCST) programmes and other actions undertaken by state and non-state actors. The analysis is based on 85 semi-structured interviews with representatives of national and local governments, International Organisations, Civil Society Organisations, and migrant-led organisations across 16 cities, and a systematic review of regulatory frameworks in the country-case studies. The proposed typology shows broad heterogeneity and complexity regarding different degrees of inclusion of migrant and refugee populations, particularly in pre-existing and new NCST programmes. These actions are furthering notions of migrant protection that are contingent and crisis-driven, imposing temporal limitations that often selectively exclude migrants based on legal status. It also brings to the fore the path-dependent nature of policies and practices of exclusion/inclusion in the region, which impact on migrants’ effective access to social and economic rights, while shaping the broader dynamics of migration governance in the region. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Población venezolana en Perú en tiempos de COVID-19: luchar contra la adversidad para lograr la inclusión social(Universidad Icesi, 2021-05-25)Before 2014, Peru had never been a common destination country for migrants and refugees. However, the exodus of people coming from Venezuela would lead the country to become the second in the world to receive this population in absolute numbers, with 830 000 as of July 2020 (Bahar et al., 2020, p. 9).Although at the beginning the State decided to adopt an open-door policy regarding the entry and permanence of Venezuelans, since mid-2018 migration control has become more restrictive. This situation has become even more adverse for them since the beginning of the pandemic of COVID-19, as they have had to go through situations of discrimination, despite its condition of especial vulnerability.Given this scenario, this article will examine certain actions and omissions carried out by the State, which reveal violations of human rights of these people, fostered by a public opinion of rejection towards them. Finally, the importance of developing citizen awareness actions questioning these perceptions and encouraging social inclusion will also be analyzed. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Non-discrimination and special protection for migrants and refugees(SAGE Publications Ltd, 2022-01-01)In the Americas, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR) have established that the principle of equality and non-discrimination requires States to both ensure that migrants are not discriminated against on any of the protected grounds of the American Convention on Human Rights, as well as to take specific action to protect certain groups of migrants that are in a situation of vulnerability. Via a comparative quantitative analysis of the immigration and refugee laws, as well as implementing regulations, of 20 Latin American countries, we examine the extent of non-discrimination and special protection provided by the region’s migratory legislation. Our results reveal three main findings. First, more recent immigration and refugee laws tend to be more expansive, which reflects the period of migratory liberalisation in the region. Second, while non-discrimination clauses are more dominant in laws, special protection clauses are primarily present in implementing regulations. This suggests that countries see special protection as a tool to positive discrimination of particularly vulnerable groups. Third, although we identify an overall expansion on protection grounds, countries’ migratory laws mostly reflect traditional categories like: sex/gender; race/ethnicity/colour; nationality; economic/social condition; and religion. Overall, although laudable, the impact of these provisions on reversing structural discrimination from an intersectional approach remains questionable. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The response of health systems to the needs of migrants and refugees in the COVID-19 pandemic: A comparative case study between Mexico, Colombia and Peru(Elsevier Ltd, 2024-12-01)Protecting the health of migrants and refugees during the pandemic was a significant challenge in the Latin American region. We aimed to describe and contrast the response of the health systems of Mexico, Colombia and Perú to migrants' and refugees’ health needs during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to situate the response in the context of the migration and health policies of each country. Methods: We conducted case studies of the three countries. The data collected for each case included: 1) policy documents; 2) peer-reviewed and grey literature; 3) qualitative interviews with key informants. Findings: The three countries issued policies to detect COVID-19 cases among migrants and refugees, and granted them access to COVID-19 care regardless of their migration status or facilitated regularization as a way to improve access to care. However, other health care needs were not considered, some groups of migrants remained invisible in the policies, and policies rarely considered the increased social and economic vulnerability of migrants and refugees during this period. Pre-existing barriers to care were made worse during the pandemic. All three countries’ response to migrants was reliant on non-governmental organizations, with international cooperation being especially active in Colombia, and local civil society organizations in Mexico. Interpretation: The response of each country was a continuation of their previous approach to migration and health. Developing plans for pandemic response that consider migrants and refugees’ particular needs will be important to improve response capacities in the future. Funding: Funding was provided by USA for the International Organization for Migration (IOM) under an agreement with the Johns Hopkins Center for Humanitarian Health.
