This report presents global data about refugee and migrant children: where they are born, where they move, and some of the dangers they face along the way. The report sheds light on the truly global nature of childhood migration and displacement, highlighting the major challenges faced by child migrants and refugees in every region.
The report includes a chapter on the Global Perspective (demography and geography of childhood migration and displacement, factors that influence it and potential perils). It is followed by a chapter on the Regional Perspective and the Policy Perspective. Based on the findings of the report and its work in the field, UNICEF has developed six goals and practical suggestions to protect child migrants and refugees:
- Protect child refugees and migrants, particularly unaccompanied children, from exploitation and violence
- End the detention of children seeking refugee status or migrating
- Keep families together as the best way to protect children and give children legal status
- Keep all refugee and migrant children learning and give them access to health and other quality services
- Press for action on the underlying causes of large scale movements of refugees and migrants
- Promote measures to combat xenophobia, discrimination and marginalization in countries of transit and destination
