In the first quarter of 2023,at least one out of every three migrants stopped or detained by government officials Mexico was a minor. The proportion of minors in migratory flows has been increasing in recent months. In Reynosa, a city on the Northern border of Mexico with the U.S., it is common to see family groups with children, women in advanced stages of pregnancy, and unaccompanied minors.



Many of these minors face violations of their rights, living without access to basic needs, and they are exposed to various forms of violence and risks such as sexual violence, trafficking, etc.



MSF provides primary medical and mental health assistance to migrants, including hundreds of minors. The MSF teams prioritize care for this group and witness how the difficult living conditions affect their physical and emotional health.



Little Birds, an animated documentary produced in alliance with the audiovisual production company ¡Hola! Combo, focuses on the voices of migrant children who suffer the impacts of U.S. and Mexican immigration policies and calls for safe routes and a dignified asylum system that protects their lives.
