The Mexican state of Chiapas, located close to the Guatemalan border, is a territory of cross-border mobility, with growing intra-regional, national and international migration. In recent years, it has become a migratory transit area for Central Americans and Haitians, who go to other Mexican states and to the United States in search of better work and economic opportunities that allow them to support their families, escaping gang violence, persecution and seeking protection from organised crime.
