📢 New joint factsheet: IOM - UN Migration, UNICEF Europe & Central Asia and UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency have released the 2025 Overview of Trends on Migrant and Refugee Children via Mixed Migration Routes in Europe. In 2025, around 31,100 children were recorded arriving in Europe. More than two-thirds, approximately 20,800 children (67%), were unaccompanied. Behind the numbers are children and young people navigating complex journeys, often facing significant protection risks and challenges, including violence, exploitation, lack of shelter and food, health concerns, and financial difficulties. The factsheet brings together evidence on arrivals, asylum, journeys, needs and protection risks to support informed decision-making and advocacy for migrant and refugee children. 🔗 Explore the factsheet: bit.ly/4jAiarx
