MSF Live Webcast Series Part 4 - Migrant or Refugee? Central America's Migration Reality

This fall, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) will webcast a series of discussions related to Forced From Home, MSF's new immersive, traveling exhibition designed to raise public awareness of the world’s 65 million displaced people.This fourth webcast will take place Thursday, October 6.  DESCRIPTION:  Nearly 300,000 Central Americans enter Mexico every year, searching for safer surroundings for their families and a life free of fear. They undertake a difficult, perilous journey north, often accompanied by the same threats—theft, kidnapping, assault, rape, murder—that they had fled in the first place. These men, women, and children are often characterized as migrants, but if they return home, they might well be killed. Are they actually refugees and asylum-seekers? In a discussion moderated by Margaret Brennan of CBS News, MSF-USA executive director Jason Cone, MSF program manager Mark Bosch, MSF aid worker Sue Averill, and regional expert Mary Speck will address these and many other questions.  For more information about this webcast and to register please click here.
