Global Youth Report: Working to End Child Immigration Detention

The Global Youth Consultation on Ending Child Immigration Detention, organised by the Migration Youth & Children's Platform in collaboration with UNICEF, IDC, UNHCR, and UNNM, brought together over 80 young participants from around the world to discuss and share their ideas on ending child immigration detention. The consultation resulted in key youth recommendations for both Member States and youth advocacy. The recommendations for Member States include: involving children and youth in policy formulation and decision-making processes, stopping the politicisation of the issue, replacing detention with community-based support and access to services, and creating economic, educational, and social opportunities for formerly detained children and youth. For youth advocacy, the recommendations include: educating others on the issue, highlighting the stories of those with lived experience, and directly engaging and supporting children in detention or those who have been previously detained. These recommendations aim to promote inclusivity, human rights, and the well-being of children and youth who have been detained, and are grounded in their experiences.
