Building Bridges to Protection: Innovative Solutions for Unaccompanied Children on the Move

‪@SupportKIND‬ and Abt Associates are proud to co-host this webinar exploring innovative solutions to protect unaccompanied children on the move.
The dangers faced by unaccompanied children seeking safety in the United States, including the risks posed by inadequate access to legal counsel and the pervasive practice of child labor exploitation, continue to capture national attention and define political debate across the nation.
A record number of unaccompanied children are fleeing to the United States to seek safety and escape dangers posed by war, gang violence, political upheaval, human trafficking, natural disasters, and other threats. Far too many minors are forced to navigate our nation’s complex immigration system alone. Without an attorney by their side and access to social service safety nets, these children are more susceptible to risks such as exploitation and far less likely to have the opportunity to fairly make their case for protection.
