There are now more children on the move, mostly accompanied by their families but also unaccompanied. Additionally, the upcoming federal administration in the United States has announced a large-scale deportation of families, including Mexican children and those from other countries. Considering this situation, it is imperative to have a specialist in child protection who can provide technical support and guidance to Mexican institutions responsible for receiving and attending to these deported families and children, as well as those crossing through Mexico to reach the United States or seeking refuge in Mexico.It is essential that all processes involved in these realities and migration policies are carried out in an appropriate and respectful manner, ensuring the prevention of family separation and providing necessary consular assistance. Furthermore, protection from child protection agencies is required to ensure that the rights of children are respected at all times.The National Institute of Migration (INM) could work to improve its administrative procedures and offer respectful and adequate services for children on the move. This includes the provision of alternative care for unaccompanied children by DIF and civil society organizations, and adequate care from the Mexican Commission for Refugee Assistance (COMAR) for foreign children seeking asylum.Additionally, it is crucial to generate knowledge that contributes to the improvement of public policies and coordination between countries and institutions to protect migrant children. Hiring a specialist in this field will strengthen institutional capacities and ensure a comprehensive and coordinated response to the challenges posed by child migration.How can you make a difference?Under the direct supervision of the Child Protection Officer (NO-2), the Child Protection Officer - Children on the Move, supports the section in developing, implementing and monitoring the activities of the office response to migration and children on the move.
