The Unaccompanied

"The Unaccompanied" typically refers to individuals, often minors, who travel or arrive without a guardian or adult supervision. This term is commonly used in immigration, legal, or transportation contexts to identify those who are alone, requiring special attention or arrangements to ensure their safety and well-being. For example, unaccompanied minors arriving at borders are usually cared for by authorities until they can be reunited with a guardian or appropriate support system. The term emphasizes the need for protective measures for individuals without immediate adult support during their journey or arrival.
