Uprooted: The Growing Crisis for Refugee and Migrant Children
2016
This report from the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) is the first to present comprehensive, global data about the 50 million refugee and migrant children around the world. Migrating and displaced children are at risk of some of the worst forms of abuse and harm, and refugee and migrant children disproportionately face poverty and exclusion. This report addresses where these children are born, where they move, the causes of their migration and displacement, and some of the opportunities and dangers they face along the way, both globally and regionally. It also presents the six goals developed by UNICEF to protect child migrants and refugees and provide them with hope for the future.
Tables of the raw data used for the report are available in the report’s appendices, and the authors discuss the data’s limitations and the need for better data. An eight-page executive summary with key findings of the report is also available.
