Migrants crossing through Mexico and Central America are in "an unprecedented state of vulnerability," with increasing sexual violence not treated on time to prevent diseases, according to a report by MSF (Médecins Sans Frontières/ Doctors Without Borders).

The document, titled "Violence, desperation and abandonment on the migration route," details the abuses faced by migrants, caused mainly by discriminatory immigration legislation, which according to the organization, makes their route "more difficult and risky."
