Although human mobility in Central America is driven by various factors (i.e., welfare differentials, vulnerability to crime, climate change impacts, and well-established social networks), gender-based violence (GBV) particularly affects many women and girls. Transit is identified as the highest stage of vulnerability to GBV among women in situations of human mobility, even though prevalence is high before and after migration. This report indicates that 41 percent of women surveyed in 2023 were aware of other women experiencing GBV while on their transit routes. Due to stigma and sociocultural factors, this figure is likely an underestimation. For instance, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and International Organization for Migration (IOM) report that between 60 and 80 percent of women on the move in Central America experience some form of GBV. Despite this, IOM’s findings show that less than 10 percent of GBV cases lead to convictions, highlighting substantial underreporting alongside weak or nonexistent reporting systems and a deficiency in systematic data collection. The continuous exposure to violence underscores the urgent need for accessible and effective GBV services along transit migration routes. In addition to the commitments established for safe and orderly migration flows in the global compact on migration and the global compact on refugees, preserving women and girls’ physical and psychological safety is mandatory to facilitate their full integration in the societies and the economies where they choose to settle.
