“…In this context, the federal government put in place a reception programme called Operação Acolhida, ran by the Brazilian Army and implemented with support of IOM and UNHCR. This was the first humanitarian operation on Brazilian soil that has operated on three fronts: border management and the reception of migrants; sheltering and healthcare provision; and internalization of Venezuelans to other cities in Brazil [ 7 ]. As a result, several temporary shelters were built in Roraima to house more than 6 thousand migrants in Pacaraima and Boa Vista [ 8 ].…”

“…As a result, several temporary shelters were built in Roraima to house more than 6 thousand migrants in Pacaraima and Boa Vista [ 8 ]. Despite offering such social protection, housing and food, and helping in obtaining documents, migration management in shelters and in the approach to the provision of healthcare has been the target of criticism for privileging an overly security approach [ 5 , 7 ].…”

Background The last decade saw the emergence of a new significant migration corridor due to the mass migration of Venezuelans to neighboring countries in South America. Since 2018, Brazil became the third host country of Venezuelan displaced populations. Little is known about how migratory processes affect needs, access to social programs, and public health services of migrant women. The goal of this study is to shed light on the socio-economic profile, living conditions, and use of health services of Venezuelan migrant women in two main reception cities in Brazil. Methods A survey was conducted using respondent-driven sampling (RDS) in the cities of Boa Vista (Roraima), and Manaus (Amazonas). The study included 2012 Venezuelan migrant women aged between 15 and 49 years old who migrated from Venezuela to Brazil between 2018 and 2021. Relative prevalence was calculated, and the χ2 test was used to analyse the homogeneity of proportions. All analyses considered the complex sampling. Results The main reasons for migrating relate to difficulties obtaining food (54%) and accessing health services (37.8%) in their country of origin. They were young and mixed race (65.7%) and had high school education (69.9%). In Manaus, 3.7% of the interviewees declared that they had no family income in the last month, while in Boa Vista, it was higher (66.2%) (p-value < 0.001). Almost one-third of them sought health care in the last 15 days, and 95% of them received care. The residents of Boa Vista arrived more recently and family income and access to paid work improved with time of residence in Brazil. Conclusions Given the increasing flow of Venezuelan migrants crossing to Brazil, a reception system was established for the provision of food, shelter, access to health services, and income transfer programs to migrants. This was the case despite high unemployment and poverty levels and income inequality, particularly in the city of Boa Vista. However, the majority had legal migrant status and had access to the public and universal healthcare system in Brazil (SUS). The use of the SUS was similar in both cities, acting as a buffer for the differences in opportunities offered.

Border policies and the construction of walls: violations and resistances Roberto Marinucci1 aNo final do século XX, após a queda do muro de Berlim e a criação da União Europeia -com os acordos de livre circulação de pessoas entre os países signatários -, acreditava-se que a época dos muros havia terminado. O novo cenário mundial parecia propício para o reconhecimento dos direitos fundamentais das pessoas migrantes, independentemente de sua nacionalidade. No entanto, com o passar dos anos, percebeu-se o quanto essa expectativa foi ilusória. As últimas décadas foram marcadas pelo que foi definido como uma verdadeira "obsessão" (Foucher, 2009) por construção de muros. Na época da queda do muro de Berlim contavam-se cerca de quinze barreiras físicas no planeta. Atualmente, há cerca de setenta barreiras físicas e sete em construção (Langella, 2021).Além da construção de barreiras físicas nas fronteiras, outro fenômeno que ganhou bastante força foi a multiplicação de barreiras externas aos países receptores (a assim chamada "externalização das fronteiras" ou outsourcing; cf. Casas-Cortes, Cobarrubias, Pickles, 2015), a multiplicação de barreiras internas e, sobretudo, a multiplicação de barreiras imateriais, entraves burocráticos e obstáculos à integração de pessoas migrantes e refugiadas.
