Migrantes e refugiados em Dourados: a Organização Internacional para as Migrações nos processos de acolhida humanitária pós interiorização

Abstract

The research addresses the situation of migrants and refugees in Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul, with an emphasis on the absence of International Organization for Migration (IOM) projects and a regional office in the Midwest, as well as the implications for the humanitarian reception process following interiorization. Although Operation Welcome is crucial for the initial reception and distribution of migrants across Brazil, the lack of a structured IOM presence in the region hinders continuous monitoring and the integration of these vulnerable populations. The research highlights the need for greater institutional involvement to fill gaps in social and logistical support for migrants.
