The war started by Russia has destroyed the peaceful life of Ukraine. Millions of residents had to leave their homes, fleeing occupation, shelling, and humanitarian disaster. The launch of the #CrossborderChildhoodUA<\/a> campaign is timed to the June dates: June 1 – Children’s Day, June 4 – International Day of Children Victims of Aggression, June 20 – World Refugee Day.
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

European countries received millions of refugees \u2013 primarily women and children \u2013 from Ukraine in the spring of 2022. Europe had not seen such a large-scale wave of female and child migrants within its borders since World War II. Children are a special group that require special protection in the conditions of mass migration. ADC Memorial has already demanded observation of the rights of migrant children as part of its #CrossborderChildhood<\/a> campaign. Now this issue is more relevant than ever, so we need a new stage for this campaign: #CrossborderChildhoodUA. We strongly condemn the Russia’s military aggression and call for protection of the rights of children affected by the war, without exceptions and discrimination.<\/p>\n

All the children who have left Ukraine or moved to western parts of the country must be protected from violence, exploitation and family separation. They need a safe environment, and they must be able to live freely, develop in new conditions, and receive an education, medical care and psychological support.<\/p>\n

Every country that accepts child refugees from Ukraine must develop and implement a program of comprehensive measures to protect minors from the risks of sexual exploitation, child trafficking, forced labor, and panhandling.<\/p>\n

Our task is to achieve implementation of UN Committee on the Rights of the Child standards concerning the treatment of children in migration.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
