Venezuelans are now the second largest displaced population in the world, and the first in the Latin America and Caribbean region.

Human rights and migration advocates have lauded the Brazilian response for its humanitarian approach and willingness to welcome migrants. Over time, however, limited capacity at the border, conflicts with local governments, and the COVID-19 pandemic have all complicated the country’s ability to provide Venezuelans with a new home.
