Focus on Children in Migration - From a European Research and Method Perspective

"This event is organised in collaboration with the European Network of Masters on Children's Rights.

Migration of children in Europe is a multifaceted and complex issue, and includes asylum seeking and refugee children, children forced or voluntarily migrating for work, children being abandoned when their parents migrate, as well as children being trafficked for various exploitative purposes. According to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, the departure of children to neighbouring countries is an issue of particular concern, and many children leave their country unaccompanied by their parents. Trafficking of children under 18, especially adolescent girls, for sexual and commercial exploitation occurs in many countries and adequate preventive and protection measures are not fully in place in all parts of Europe."
