Child Migrants: Syrian Refugees and European Countries

child migrants: Ninety per cent of children making that journey are classified as unaccompanied and face no end of misery, including sexual slavery and detention during their flight, and further discrimination in some European countries, he noted, according to Metro News. Trudeau's impressive leadership on Syrian refugees and his development focus on helping women and girls in poor countries give him the political capital to push his fellow leaders to accept and help settle more unaccompanied child migrants, he said. The Canadian government and the prime minister have spoken out very strongly on two big issues one is around refugees and migrants and secondly, is around women and girls, said UN Assistant Secretary General Justin Forsyth, the deputy executive director of UNICEF. All G7 countries need to do more to address the exploitation of children crossing the Mediterranean Sea into Europe, Forsyth said in an interview. Forsyth singled out Britain and France as two countries that need to do more, citing the ongoing internal political debates in both as obstacles to progress. We've seen it in France, we've seen it in Britain and they're big political discussions, he said. In all of these countries there are very strong debates around migrants and refugees.
