Eurochild 2023 report on children in need across Europe

In Eurochild’s  “Children's Rights: Political will or won't?” report, 38 Eurochild members in 26 countries provide recommendations on how to address among others, child poverty and social exclusion, and discrimination. It also assesses whether the Child Guarantee National Action Plans (NAPs) align with the countries’ needs and highlights the future priorities that EU decision-makers and national governments can pursue to address the needs of the most vulnerable children, including Roma children. 

This sub report includes country specific descriptions of the situation of Roma children, shares input of the gaps identified by our members, and provides recommendations for national policy-makers to take action on as to alleviate child poverty and prevent child-family separations.
