EU Border Policies Push Child Refugees Toward Traffickers, Aid Group Says

Strict European Union border measures are forcing unaccompanied child refugees into the arms of human traffickers. This alarming finding comes from the aid organization Save the Children. The group reports that increasingly rigid policies are isolating the most vulnerable children. Instead of finding safety, these young people are pushed further from the reach of aid workers who could protect them. This situation leaves children at extreme risk of exploitation. Save the Children warns that current approaches are failing to protect those most in need.
