This report explores the migration experiences of Latin American and Caribbean children and adolescents on the move through South America. The study is based on 4Mi1 surveys and interviews with caregivers of children on the move, conducted in Peru, Chile, Bolivia, Argentina, and Uruguay between September and December 2024. Responding to the information gap that exists about this population in the region, the report presents findings on the risks that migrant children face en route and at destination, the protection mechanisms implemented by caregivers, the impacts of migration on children’s lives and well-being, and migrant children’s humanitarian needs. This document provides empirical evidence to inform decision makers and humanitarian actors
