Vulnerable population management in Peru and Spain

Overview

In Peru, the Ministry of Women and Vulnerable Populations has initiated the relocation of minors to address overcrowding in Special Protection Units. Efforts include expanding space at the UPE Lima Este facility to accommodate 22 sheltered minors and improving digital tracking to support the health of the 88 children and adolescents currently under state guardianship.

In Spain, administrative and social challenges regarding vulnerable populations have emerged. In Almería, the reactivation of a youth center in Purchena to house 49 adult asylum seekers has caused political friction with local mayors due to a lack of official notification.

Further complications in Spain involve the protection of minors, including an investigation into an alleged sexual assault in Burgos and reports of an unaccompanied migrant minor in Melilla being denied essential medication for an autoimmune disease. Amnesty International has also called for regional governments to adhere to laws concerning the relocation and protection of unaccompanied minors in Ceuta.
