In recent decades, with the continuous development of China’s industrialization and urbanization, millions of migrant workers have moved from rural areas to cities to improve the circumstances of their families and children. However, due to the restrictions of domicile control and urban public resources, these migrant workers need to leave their children in their hometown to attend school. Therefore, a special population of left-behind children (LBC) has been created. LBC have been defined as children <16 y old who stay in their hometown and are taken care of by their grandparents,…
On 4 March 2022, the Council adopted Council Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/382 establishing the existence of a mass influx of displaced persons from Ukraine within the meaning of Article 5 of Directive 2001/55/EC, and having the effect of introducing temporary protection (the Council Decision) ( 1 ).

It is aimed primarily at UNICEF country office, government, and non-governmental organisation (NGO) staff working to improve the care of children.

The International Data Alliance for Children on the Move (IDAC) held this webinar April 11, 2022, to discuss the need for concrete data and information crucially needed to support affected…
Despite high risks en route and upon arrival, Rohingya movement to Malaysia continues. This snapshot focuses on the specific risks facing Rohingya women and children before leaving Myanmar or Bangladesh, during their journey, and upon arrival in Malaysia. MMC Asia has been conducting survey with Rohingya in Malaysia since January 2019 in order to better understand their migration experiences. This snapshot contributes to building a solid evidence base to inform targeted responses that improve protection for Rohingya refugees and inform advocacy efforts related to movements to Malaysia.
Останній раунд дослідження, яке провела МОМ, був завершений, а його результати презентовані 5 квітня, унаслідок чого вдалося оновити дані щодо кількості ВПО в Україні, яка нині становить 7,1 мільйона осіб (на 10% більше порівняно з попередньою цифрою). Цей раунд опитування також продемонстрував зростання кількості ВПО з числа мешканців Півночі (Суми, Житомир, Чернігів) та Києва.
Важливо наголосити, що українська влада докладає надзвичайних зусиль, щоб прискорити реєстрацію ВПО через їхню Єдину систему реєстрації ВПО, якою опікується Міністерство соціальної політики. Урядова система…
The latest round of IOM’s survey was completed and presented on 5 April, leading to the updated population figure of 7.1 million IDPs in Ukraine (10% increase compared to the previous round). The second round also observed an increase of IDPs coming from Northern areas (Sumy, Zhytomyr, Chernihiv) and Kyiv.
It is worth noting the remarkable ongoing efforts by Ukrainian authorities to expedite the registration of IDPs through their Unified IDP Registry, administered by the Ministry of Social Policy. The Government registration system has been in place since 2014 but was not initially…
Handover protocols are agreements by governments or armed groups to swiftly transfer children allegedly associated with armed forces and armed groups (CAAFAG) in their custody, or whom they have encountered, to child protection actors for appropriate support services, including, but not limited to, reintegration assistance. Handover protocols are an explicit recognition by states and, at times, armed groups, that CAAFAG are first and foremost victims of grave violations of international human rights and humanitarian law. They offer CAAFAG a safe avenue to leave armed forces and armed groups…
