Neutrosophic method for the evaluation of the impact of the violation of the rights of migrants in Tulcán

Abstract

Migration and its impact on human rights are critical issues, especially regarding the situation of migrants in Tulcán, Ecuador. Migration from Venezuela has increased significantly due to the country's political and economic crisis, pushing thousands of Venezuelans to seek asylum in neighboring nations, including Ecuador. As a border city, Tulcán has become a transit point and, in some cases, a settlement site for these migrants. Despite the Ecuadorian government's ratification of international agreements designed to protect the rights of migrants, a lack of regulation of the migrant population, especially Venezuelans, has been observed in practice. This situation hinders the effective monitoring and protection of their rights. The objective of this research is to develop a neutrosophic method for assessing the impact of migrant rights violations in Tulcán. The application of this method resulted in a high impact index for migrant rights violations. In the city, migrants frequently suffer human rights violations, such as discrimination, xenophobia, and abuse, not only from the local population but also, in certain situations, from local authorities. These circumstances seriously impact the mental well-being of migrants, placing them in a position of ongoing vulnerability. This analysis examines the condition of migrants in Tulcán, recognizing the most notable forms of rights violations and suggesting actions to increase legal security and respect for migrants' human rights in the area.
