RAD­HI­CA DE SIL­VA

Ac­tivists and mi­grant ad­vo­cates are urg­ing the Gov­ern­ment to ex­tend the mi­grant reg­is­tra­tion pe­ri­od, warn­ing that vul­ner­a­ble in­dige­nous mi­grants—par­tic­u­lar­ly mem­bers of the Warao com­mu­ni­ty—risk be­ing ex­clud­ed due to lack of doc­u­men­ta­tion, lim­it­ed ac­cess to tech­nol­o­gy, and fear of com­ing for­ward.

The on­line reg­is­tra­tion process be­gan on Jan­u­ary 26 and of­fi­cial­ly closed at mid­night. Mi­grants who suc­cess­ful­ly reg­is­tered are sched­uled for in-per­son in­ter­views be­tween March 2 and 27.
