A new report reveals alarming rise in unaccompanied asylum-seeker minors in Europe and the EU's failure to protect vulnerable children despite being aware of the issue since 2016
Despite the growing numbers of disappearing asylum-seeker minors and the urgent need for action to protect kids, Europe’s response remains inadequate.
The report examines the policies and practices of each country in the EU, aiming to shed light on the state of human rights for minor asylum seekers. The Euro-Med Monitor report calls for urgent action to address these challenges. It emphasises that unaccompanied minors should never be pushed back or detained and should be accommodated in reception facilities designed specifically for children.
The failure to protect these vulnerable children not only violates their fundamental rights but also exposes them to further risks, including criminal organisations that exploit them for human trafficking, forced begging, and other forms of exploitation.Thousands of minors flee dangerous situations in their home countries every year, arriving on their own at the EU’s borders with the hope of finding safety and security by progressing on the path to international protection.
