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.

This document is intended to provide concrete advice on how to put the guiding principles common to most child protection actors into practice.
