Not Refugee Children, Not Migrant Children, But Children First: Lack of a systematic and integrated approach

Bina D'Costa and Emilia Toczydlowska

Innocenti Research Briefs

Abstract: This brief takes a deep dive in the semantics and conceptual issues in the children and migration discourse, and highlights some of the key implementation gaps. It offers a summary of the risks, vulnerabilities and protection needs of children as refugees and migration in Europe. Using the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Convention on the Rights of the Child as the normative frameworks, this brief also emphasizes how the voices of children in migration pathway must be heard and respected.
