Beyond Family: Separation and reunification for young people negotiating transnational relationships
This paper explores perspectives on family reunification and emergent forms of separation among young migrants. These young people lived apart from and later reunited with their migrant parents who moved from the Philippines to Canada for work. The author draws from 15 months of ethnographic, arts-based, and participatory research with ten participants living in Greater Vancouver. While reunification literature and child rights discourse often focus on the process of a mother and child coming back together, this can obscure the relationships that young people form with others in the meantime…

This resource book simplifies and unpacks budget processes with key guidance on specific policies and steps for those who seek to be champions for child-centered public finance in the Philippines context.
This document is intended to provide concrete advice on how to put the guiding principles common to most child protection actors into practice. Though cultural traditions and customs may require the advice to be adapted to the specific context, the authors believe that the advice provided is grounded in sufficiently broad experience to guide measures that ensure children under five are not separated when this can be avoided, and, if separated, can be reunited with their families as quickly as possible.
