Violence has displaced more than half a million Mexican households in past 5 years

Over the past five years, violence in Mexico has resulted in the displacement of more than half a million households. This figure represents a significant scale of internal migration driven by ongoing security concerns across various regions of the country.

Historically, the Mexican government has not released comprehensive data regarding citizens forced to flee their homes due to violence. Consequently, civil society organizations have been required to independently aggregate information to estimate the scope of the crisis, as official transparency on the issue has been limited until recently.
