On This We Agree: Children Require Special Care

Last year, sixty advocacy organizations serving children in the fields of immigration, child welfare, child development, and juvenile justice collabroated to develop a set of principles calling for protection of children within the U.S. immigration system. Children in the system are particularly vulnerable.

On This We Agree: Children Require Special Care” offers five principles to guide the treatment of children as they go through the immigration system to ensure that their well-being, safety and rights are protected.
