Migrants are particularly at risk
The situation of disappeared migrants is particularly delicate: they are especially vulnerable to abuse and it is easy for Mexican authorities to ignore the problem and maintain complete impunity.
Although several NGOs fight enforced disappearance in Mexico, very few encompass the situation of disappeared migrants. TRIAL International and its local partners are the only civil society organizations that documented and reported this phenomenon before international human rights bodies, thus drumming up a sound advocacy campaign.
