UNHCR Flow Monitoring of Venezuelan Migrants at Peru-Tumbes Border, Q2 2021

UNHCR Peru conducts flow monitoring of Venezuelan refugees and migrants at the Tumbes border to analyze movement dynamics, protection needs, and vulnerabilities. The data, collected in the second quarter of 2021, focuses on families using irregular routes and hitchhiking, which increases protection risks. The results are not statistically representative and serve as a general indicator of trends.
