Encampment of Children

Encampment of children refers to situations where groups of minors are organized or gathered in specific locations, often away from typical family settings. This can occur for various reasons, such as emergency shelter, humanitarian aid, or unlawful detention. In certain contexts, children may be placed in these encampments due to displacement, migration, or abuse, raising concerns about their safety, rights, and wellbeing. The term highlights the physical arrangement and collective grouping of children, emphasizing the importance of ensuring their protection, access to services, and respectful treatment within such environments.
