La provincia de Darién se ubica en la frontera este de Panamá, y su territorio forma parte de las rutas migratorias más utilizadas por personas en situación de movilidad humana por las Américas para migrar desde el sur hacia el norte del continente. A su vez, esta ruta es altamente peligrosa por las características geográficas del Parque Nacional Darién y la presencia de crimen organizado. Las personas que la transitan se encuentran expuestas a varios riesgos como la trata de personas, tráfico ilícito, violencia basada en género, diversas formas de explotación y abuso. El uso de estas rutas inseguras para llegar a destinos temporales o finales plantea amenazas para la integridad, dignidad y la vida de las personas migrantes.

Actualmente, Panamá mantiene activa la Operación Flujo Controlado, la cual brinda asistencia humanitaria y traslada diariamente a cientos de personas migrantes a sus Estaciones Temporales de Recepción Migratoria (ETRM) en la provincia de Darién. Las personas ingresan por las comunidades de Bajo Chiquito y Canaán Membrillo, ubicadas en la comarca indígena Emberá Wounaan al interior de la provincia de Darién en Panamá y son trasladadas respectivamente a las diferentes ETRM.

Entre el 01 y el 31 de enero de 2024 se registraron 36.001 personas migrantes ingresando irregularmente por la provincia de Darién, suponiendo un flujo promedio de 1.161 migrantes ingresando diariamente. En diciembre de 2023, el número total de entradas fue de 24.626, lo que muestra un aumento del 46 por ciento comparado con el mes anterior
