Tegucigalpa, July 25, (RHC), – Honduras has failed to reduce soaring levels of child migration as the underlying causes, including violence and poverty, remain unaddressed.
Nearly 9,000 child migrants have left Honduras unaccompanied so far this year to face the perilous journey north toward the United States in the ongoing crisis of child migration from Central America.
According to data announced by the United Nations children's foundation UNICEF on Friday, Honduras has not succeeded in reducing the number of child migrants fleeing the country. At least 8,700 children have left Honduras in the first half of 2015 alone.
