Migrant women traveling through Mexico and Central America, including the Darién Gap, face heightened risks of gender-based violence. This talk will examine the conditions that enable such violence, the factors contributing to sexual violence against women and girls, and the scope of state legal responsibility within the framework of universal and regional international human rights standards.

*This event will be in Spanish.*
