Mariangela, a Protection Officer for the IRC in Colombia, helps with transporting Venezuelan refugees who have left their homes on a daily basis. She talks about what it’s like to work in transportation assistance, what to pay special attention to, and what keeps her motivated, even when faced with the toughest situations.

Amidst the journeys undertaken by numerous asylum seekers across the Americas in pursuit of safety and security, they encounter a significant challenge: the lack of reliable information to alleviate their hardships.
