Dinámicas de exclusión e inclusión a migrantes en la ciudad de Cuenca, Ecuador: el caso de la migración venezolana

Through their life histories and migratory trajectories, the following are described: a) migratory biographies, profiles and migratory patterns, as well as their dreams and expectations, taking into account the context of their native country and the receiving country; b) the practices of exclusion, expressed through the different forms of discrimination -racism, xenophobia, aporophobia-, and material or symbolic violence, produced and reproduced from the different levels of the State and national society, which condition the reality that Venezuelan migrants live, and c) the dynamics of inclusion that are gestated from associations, organizations and groups in order to contribute to the social inclusion of migrant families in vulnerable situations.
