We are present along one of the world’s main forced migration routes. That is why we are committed to providing comprehensive support to returnees and deportees in El Salvador and Guatemala, as well as to migrants and internally displaced people in Mexico. Our work focuses on ensuring they have the autonomy and conditions to decide where to live with dignity.

We collaborate with regional, national, and local stakeholders across three key areas of action. First, we strengthen direct support for people on the move through rights education and psychosocial accompaniment. This includes addressing gender-based violence faced by women in migration. Second, we promote awareness and inclusion in transit and destination communities, using evidence-based information to shed light on the realities experienced by people in forced mobility.

Third, we advocate for comprehensive protection policies and practices—such as dignified reintegration, access to rights for migrants, and legal recognition of IDPs. We challenge border militarization, the dismantling of asylum systems, and racist narratives. At the same time, we foster regional coordination with diverse stakeholders to push forward a strong advocacy agenda.

Guided by the Quaker belief in the divine light within every person, AFSC works with people of all faiths and backgrounds to challenge unjust systems and promote lasting peace.
