Despite the number of children involved, the needs and interests of migrant children are largely absent from mainstream debates on child protection, child labour and migration. Children are affected both directly when children move alone and along with their parents and indirectly when children are left behind by parent's. Children and adolescents must matter in migration policies and debates. Children and adolescents affected by migration are particularly vulnerable and should receive special protection.

The SHRAM Research papers section highlights papers on how children are impacted due to migration.
