Скачать или смотреть One of thousands: Stories of Survivors of sexual violence on the migration route in the Americas

Since 2022, an increasing number of women, children, and adolescents have been taking the migration route to the United States. At MSF service points, there have been more registrations of women who are young, pregnant, breastfeeding, or traveling alone or with minors. As the demographic profile of people on the move has transformed, violence against women has worsened, adding to a slew of dangers people face in hopes to reach safety.

Sexual violence is one of the most normalized and pervasive forms of violence that migrants face on their journeys through the Americas. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams in Mexico are stepping up their response to the physical and mental health needs of survivors while bearing witness to patients with painful stories.

To shine a light on the resilience and strength of survivors and the violence migrants face, MSF collaborated with 13 Mexican artists to present “Una y Miles” (One and a thousand), an animated short documentary following two MSF patients on the path to healing, and the dangers endured while migrating in search of a better life.
