До повномасштабного вторгнення росії в лютому 2022 року Україна мала один з найвищих показників інституціалізації дітей в Європі. Значний відсоток цих дітей – ймовірно, більшість – мають інвалідність.1 Доведено, що інституціалізація завдає шкоди всім дітям, але на найбільший ризик наражаються немовлята та діти з інвалідністю.2

Abstract
Irregular migration by unaccompanied minors has become an increasingly prevalent global issue.
