Latin America has a long tradition of regional solidarity and openness to migration. Most countries in the region have responded to Venezuelans fleeing their country's economic and political crisis by keeping borders open and offering Venezuelans various forms of legal residency. The world has much to learn from Latin America in this regard. At the same time, the growing number of Venezuelan refugees has put pressure on this solidarity, exposing tensions between domestic politics, regional alliances and historical values. With no end to the crisis in sight, it is a critical moment to seek a better understanding of these dynamics. Joining the discussion are UNHCR Deputy Representative Chiara Cardoletti and Universidad del Pacífico’s Luisa Feline Freier. It is moderated by Christine Mendonça, CEO & co-founder of Humans on the Move.
