In a recent statement, Destination Unknown, a network of over 100 organisations worldwide, coordinated by Terre des Hommes, has expressed its concern regarding the family separations currently imposed at the US border with Mexico "and the traumatic and detrimental effect it is having on children." "Destination Unknown calls on the US administration to recognise the leading role of child protection authorities in urgently developing and implementing a plan that guarantees every child is swiftly reunited with his or her family." In its statement, Destination Unknown further calls for "community-based alternatives that respect the right to liberty and family life for every child."
