Resettlement as a protection tool for refugee children

Susanna Davies and Carol Batchelor

In the attached article Susanna Davies and Carol Batchelor discuss the importance of ensuring methods of resettlement are able to function in today’s global context. The rate of child displacement is rising at unprecedented levels.  Nearly 100,000 child refugees and asylum-seeking children are separated from their families.  These cases should be evaluated within the context of each child’s individual circumstances.  Sometimes protection issues can be addressed locally.  Children at risk should be prioritized for resettlement over children who are solely unaccompanied or separated.
