Would you be willing to donate part of your salary to an organization that <strong>guarantees a safer migration<\/strong> for those who do so? Recently, researchers published an article on the role empathy plays in the attitudes of people towards protecting migrants from violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays, migrants from Central and South America who cross Mexico on their way to the north or that remain in the country <strong>face increasing violence<\/strong> at the hands of organized crime, such as kidnappings, forced disappearances, sexual violence, extortion and violent robberies while they cross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHistorically, Mexico was the place they transit through on their way to the United States or Canada, but in recent years we&#8217;re seeing a shift in this dynamic because the anti-migration policies of these countries <strong>are forcing them to stay here<\/strong>,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/tec.mx\/en\/our-faculty\/ecsg\/rebecca-victoria-martin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rebecca Bell-Martin<\/a>, research professor at the <a href=\"\/en\/tag\/school-of-social-sciences-and-government\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">School of Social Sciences and Government<\/a> (ECSG) of Tec de Monterrey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faced with this situation, activist groups have mobilized to find ways to protect migrants from these dangers, although not everyone seems to be in favor of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2019, 64% of Mexicans that were<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/context\/washington-post-reforma-mexico-poll\/801f58a6-ab67-4da6-bd1d-39659863c4c7\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> surveyed by the <em>Washington Post<\/em> and <em>Reforma<\/em><\/a> said they consider migrants to be a burden on the country, while 32% believed that they commit more crimes than those citizens by birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAround the world we have seen an increase in the number of migrants, but also in <strong>social reactions towards the immigration process<\/strong>,\u201d says Bell-Martin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to her, this highlights a phenomenon in which some people are<strong> more likely to support <\/strong>public policies that protect migrants, while others oppose them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find out why this variation occurs and how people can be inspired to support this cause, she and <a href=\"https:\/\/egobiernoytp.tec.mx\/es\/sobre-egob\/facultad-investigadores\/perfil-asociados\/alejandro-diaz-dominguez\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alejandro D\u00edaz Dom\u00ednguez<\/a>, a research professor at the <a href=\"\/en\/tag\/school-of-government-and-public-transformation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">School of Government and Public Transformation<\/a>, analyzed whether<strong> empathy is an important factor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Two Ways to Generate Empathy Towards Migrants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout her career, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rebeccabellmartin.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bell-Martin<\/a> has focused on how to get people more interested in <strong>solving social problems and helping those in need.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her work on community responses to organized crime violence, she has found that \u201cwe are more likely to participate in some type of anti-violence community project if we have been <strong>exposed to a case that makes us feel empathy<\/strong> towards crime victims\u201d explains the researcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Empathy is <strong>the human capacity to emotionally understand the experiences of other individuals<\/strong> and connect with them through this understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this in mind, the experts analyzed whether it can also help Mexicans support movements or public policies that seek to protect migrants from organized crime violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do so, they analyzed data from a survey focused on <strong>measuring <\/strong>Mexican experiences and perspectives towards organized crime, conducted by <a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com.mx\/citations?user=RJER1xQAAAAJ&amp;hl=es\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Andreas Schedler<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cide.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Center for Economic Research and Teaching<\/a> (CIDE).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the questions included in the survey was whether they would be willing to donate 50 pesos to an organization focused on preventing <strong>migrants from falling into the hands of criminals.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/lamp.12327\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">their paper<\/a>, Bell-Martin and D\u00edaz Dom\u00ednguez argue that there are two ways this empathy can be generated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One is criminal victimization, in which a person or their family has been a direct victim of organized crime. The other is empathetic victimization, in which a person imagines that the type of violence experienced by migrants could happen to them or a loved one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through a correlation analysis, they found that <strong>both channels cause people to empathize<\/strong> and be more willing to protect migrants from organized crime, but those most likely to do so are those who have experienced it firsthand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We Need More Stories of What Migrants Live In Route<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So how do we get more people to empathize with migrants and want to help them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA lot of it has to do with being able to identify similarities between you (a migrant) and myself,\u201d says Bell-Martin. \u201cIt could mean that we are both mothers or women.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, we need the population to <strong>hear and read stories about what migrants experience<\/strong> in their journey through Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Statistics, such as one that says that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amnistiainternacional.org\/las-victimas-invisibles-migrantes-en-movimiento-en-mexico\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">29% of migrants<\/a> are victims of physical, psychological or sexual violence, help us understand that this is not a small problem, but they do not portray the human experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also important to understand that migrants have particular vulnerabilities to organized crime. Among them is the fact that many are already fleeing violence, so <strong>they have nowhere to go to stay safe<\/strong>. Many also migrate irregularly, so they seek to stay under the radar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you are already trying to stay hidden, then <strong>who do you alert when you experience a crime?<\/strong> If you go to the state government authorities, are you going to get punished for it?\u201d Bell-Martin asks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping this in mind can help us understand how deeply difficult it is to be a migrant in these conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find these stories, there are organizations created by migrants themselves, or by victims of organized crime, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.internal-displacement.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">non-governmental organizations<\/a>, media outlets and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amnesty.org\/en\/latest\/news\/2010\/11\/ai-gael-garcia-bernal-cortos-migrantes-mexico\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">individuals<\/a> who seek to tell them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat I&#8217;m trying to do with my research is show that we can, <strong>even in dire circumstances, create good things<\/strong>, but that we also need allies,\u201d says Bell-Martin. \u201cI feel strongly that it is not fair or just to rely on migrants to do all the work of protecting themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through empathy and other avenues, these scientists hope that circumstances for migrants will improve soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Were you interested in this story?

Creo que la ciencia, al fomentar el pensamiento cr\u00edtico, puede empoderar a la humanidad y, al ser la base de los avances tecnol\u00f3gicos, puede ayudarla a vivir en las mejores condiciones posibles.","url":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/author\/igutierrez\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165178","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=165178"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165178\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/165179"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=165178"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=165178"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=165178"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
