Esther Núñez

Esther Núñez is the coordinator of the Refugee Unit at the Dirección General de Migración y Extranjería in Costa Rica. She has been involved in addressing the challenges faced by Nicaraguan migrants and refugees in the country, particularly in light of the increased migration flows from Nicaragua to Costa Rica in recent years. In a recent article, she highlighted the complexities of migration, noting that many Nicaraguans remain in the country without formal documentation, which complicates the understanding of the total migrant population.
