Millions of children around the world have no access to education, work long hours under hazardous conditions and are forced to serve as soldiers in armed conflict. They suffer targeted attacks on their schools and teachers or languish in institutions or detention centers, where they endure inhumane conditions and assaults on their dignity.
Young and immature, they are often easily exploited. In many cases, they are abused by the very individuals responsible for their care.
The acute economic crisis is felt by the most vulnerable in society. Greece remains on the frontline of Europe’s asylum and migration challenges. Border restrictions in the Western Balkans, a 2016 EU migration deal with Turkey, and limited relocations to other EU states, have left over 60,000 asylum seekers and other migrants stranded in Greece.
Thousands, including vulnerable asylum seekers, are confined to the islands in abysmal conditions, while tens of thousands face difficult conditions in camps on the mainland. Unaccompanied children are often held in police custody or detention.
