Children’s rights continue to be violated at the U.S. – Mexico border. Children are being held in custody longer than the legal limit, separated from their families, denied basic care and more.

Every child has a right to safety and protection.

What We’re Doing

Through a combination of government relations, communications and grassroots activism, we build relationships policymakers and mobilize the public to protect children’s rights at the border and address the root causes of migration in Central America.
