Child Migration

Child migration refers to the movement of children or adolescents from one place to another, often across borders. This can happen for various reasons, including seeking safety from conflict or violence, reuniting with family, pursuing better educational opportunities, or escaping poverty. Child migrants may travel alone or with adults. Their experiences can be incredibly challenging, including risks related to exploitation, health, and access to education. Understanding child migration is crucial for addressing the needs and rights of these vulnerable individuals and ensuring their protection and well-being in new environments.
