Advocacy for Peru

What’s Happening?

Peru is home to more than 1.3 million displaced Venezuelans, making it the second largest host of Venezuelan refugees in the world. Although Peru has offered some forms of temporary regularization to allow Venezuelans to remain in the country and work, even those with legal status struggle to access their rights and important services like healthcare and education. Many Venezuelans in Peru live without legal status, constantly fear deportation, and struggle to cover their basic needs. Peru’s recent political crises stall policy progress for Venezuelan inclusion.

What Must Be Done?

Refugees International is advocating for better conditions for Venezuelans in Peru and raising awareness about the benefits linked to increased integration and economic inclusion.
