Khaled Foundation Saves 7,000 Children in Mexico
The article highlights the efforts of the Khaled bin Sultan Al Qasimi Humanitarian Foundation in protecting migrant children and adolescents in Mexico from the dangers of human trafficking, particularly through projects like "Guardians of Children," which is implemented in partnership with Plan International. The project provides direct protection and care services to 7,000 migrant children in the cities of Tapachula, Mexico City, and Ciudad Juarez, in addition to awareness and capacity-building programs reaching over 15,000 beneficiaries, bringing the total number of those helped to more than 22,000 individuals. The program emphasizes early intervention, creating safe spaces, psychological and social support, and training workers to recognize signs of exploitation, all aimed at minimizing children's exposure to risks of trafficking and exploitation along migration routes. During the first nine months of 2024, Mexico recorded over 113,000 cases of irregular migration involving children and adolescents, including 6,700 unaccompanied minors. The foundation underscores the importance of protecting children from exploitation through early intervention and prevention, while promoting sustainable protection systems that ensure safe environments and uphold children's rights, aligning with its global efforts to combat all forms of child exploitation.
