Separating Children from Their Rights? How Europe Fails Child Asylum Seekers

Submitted by crinadmin on

Summary: The number of children who turn up
alone at the entry ports of western
Europe is growing. They flee for the
same reasons as adult asylum-
seekers, but also for reasons specific
to children. Although children
travelling without their parents are
among the most vulnerable, they
often have even less protection and
access to rights than adults.
