This event is sponsored by Georgetown Human Rights Action, which will present findings from its new report, "Between the Border and the Street: Migrant Youth on the Margins." The report is based on research conducted by Georgetown Law students during a fact-finding mission to Guatemala last August, as well as research conducted in the Washington, D.C., area. The report provides a comparative perspective on gang reduction policies and migration in the United States and Guatemala, and offers recommendations for U.S. policymakers. |
