Resumen

Este artículo introductorio invita a reflexionar sobre la infancia migrante como un espacio de tensión entre fragilidad y resiliencia, explorando la agencia como eje central de la sección monográfica Infancia en movimiento: redefiniendo la agencia infantil entre resiliencia y vulnerabilidad. Se argumenta que los niños migrantes no son solo receptores pasivos de los procesos migratorios, sino agentes activos que intervienen en las dinámicas familiares, sociales y culturales que atraviesan fronteras. Se concluye que, para crear políticas públicas más inclusivas y adaptadas a las realidades de la infancia migrante, es fundamental reconocer su complejidad y multidimensionalidad.
