Regional model of legal assistance for people on the move

Latin America is going through one of the largest processes of human mobility in recent times, which is the product of various factors such as increased poverty, persecution, conflicts, humanitarian crises, insecurity, violence, natural disasters, etc. In this context, an important element to consider is the legal needs of migrants and refugees that require priority attention.

The Inter-American Association of Public Defender’s Offices (AIDEF) with the support of the European Union EUROsociAL Programme, has launched a regional network and legal assistance model for people on the move that will improve access to justice for migrants and refugees in the region.
