Colombia hosts more than 1.8 million Venezuelans, which represents more than 35 percent of the estimated five million Venezuelan refugees and migrants in Latin America and the Caribbean. Colombia shares a 2,200-kilometer border, seven formal border crossings, and hundreds of informal crossings with Venezuela. HIAS supports refugees to build new lives and reunite with family members in safety and freedom.

HIAS Colombia focuses on single women, women-headed households, survivors of gender-based violence (GBV), people with disabilities and serious medical conditions, and LGBTQ refugees. HIAS Colombia works with Venezuelan refugees and migrants, Colombian returnees, and host communities.
