RMRP 2021 - Regional Four Pager - November 2020 [EN]

The political, human rights and socio-economic developments in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela have led to the largest movement of refugees and migrants in the recent history of Latin America and the Caribbean. As of November 2020, of the approximately 5.4 million refugees and migrants from Venezuela outside of their country of origin, some 4.6 million are hosted in the region alone, including an increasing number of them in an irregular situation. Despite the devastating and ongoing socioeconomic and human impact of COVID-19, countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have continued to show solidarity towards Venezuelans and tofacilitate access to basic rights and lifesaving services as well as supporting their integration.
