El Salvador is a country that, while not at war, has one of the highest rates of violence in the world. Thousands of families, including unaccompanied children, are fleeing violence hoping to reach the US border, and facing a number of risks when crossing through Mexico. In those circumstances, just imagine yourself, starting your trip and all of a sudden having as companion a sister that you had never met. That’s exactly what happened to two young women who fled from El Salvador and sought refuge in the US. Zaidee Stavely has the story. This feature report is part of the series “Speaking of Race.” The English version of Stavely’s story is being aired on Public Radio International’s “The World”.
