Unaccompanied Minors
Unaccompanied minors are children under the age of 18 who travel without a parent or legal guardian. This situation can arise due to various reasons, including family separation, migration, or seeking asylum. These children often face unique challenges, including legal complexities and the need for protection and support.
In many countries, unaccompanied minors are placed in special care systems to ensure their safety and well-being. Organizations and agencies, such as child welfare services and non-profit organizations, work to provide them with necessary resources, including shelter, education, and legal assistance, to help them navigate their circumstances.
