Abstract

The COVID-19 sanitary emergency has presented unprecedented challenges to the entire world and exacerbated pre-existing inequalities in societies. In order to respond, the States have designed various economic and social policies that try to alleviate the negative consequences on families. This article shows how, in Argentina, the development of new policies, instead of correcting deficiencies of the past, deepens inequalities in access to rights among the population, excluding children on the basis of their migratory status. These policies contradict international and regional regulatory frameworks, as well as national ones, and their severity is accentuated by the poverty rates and rights violations that this population group endures. Migrant children are in a situation of double vulnerability, due to their status as children and their status as migrants, which results in even higher levels of poverty.
