The COVID-19 pandemic has affected everyone and everything. However, there are particular challenges for women in the current situation, at a global scale.
On International Women’s Day, let’s know the stories of these Venezuelans who are doing great at making our terruño proud
The crisis in Venezuela extends to all sectors, yet Margarita Cadena’s documentary, “Women of the Venezuelan Chaos,” displays how women are distinctly touched—and how they fight back against the turmoil.
Venezuelan migration is today the largest displacement crisis the Americas has ever seen, and globally the second largest after Syria’s. The predictions for 2019 became true: there are now at least 4.7 million Venezuelan migrants and refugees in the world

The International Migration Organization just announced that Venezuelans are now the first nationality among over 500 migrants who have disappeared in the Americas in 2019.
