This article reports that, according to Save the Children, recent migration policies and border-management agreements by the European Union are endangering migrant children — especially unaccompanied minors and children fleeing conflict — by pushing asylum seekers into dangerous, often clandestine routes from countries like Sudan to Europe, exposing them to violence, trafficking, detention, and exploitation. The article describes how EU investments in border control, rather than safe migration pathways and child-protection systems, are driving children into the hands of smugglers and making them effectively invisible to protection mechanisms.
