Children’s ombudsmen from 33 countries sent a letter to the European Union urging the European Union and Council of Europe to act to protect child asylum seekers in Europe, who are a very vulnerable group. The European Network of Ombudspersons for Children (ENOC) has warned in the past that child asylum seekers traveling through Europe experience violence, trafficking, truama, poor health and death. ENOC established a taskforce to monitor the situation of these children. ENOC suggests that children should be given priority in the implementation of redistribution plans and that Europe's leaders should work to increase the chances of family reunification.
