Justin Byworth said : “During the COVID-19 pandemic families around the world worried about their children missing out on education. But those worries were short lived for many, as most children in the world’s wealthier countries have returned to school and normalcy. Unfortunately, for millions of refugee children, education is a fantasy of the past, one that they may never return to. Instead, many face a new reality of child marriage and child labour. The injustice is palpable,”

Justin Byworth said : “As the world’s wealthiest nations move on from COVID-19, and declare the pandemic is in the past, millions of displaced people cannot access a vaccine and are still at high risk. It is a sad indictment on those with the means to help,”

Justin Byworth said : “We fear that funds allocated to support refugees around the globe are now being diverted to those fleeing Ukraine; taking much needed food and protection supports from children who are struggling to survive in refugee camps. All refugees need and deserve support, regardless of which country they fled. We urge donors to increase funds, rather than reallocate what has already been pledged, so that all refugees receive the support they need,”

Justin Byworth adds : “On resettling refugees, it’s clear that many donor countries, including EU Member States, have fallen short. Syria’s neighbours are under immense strain, shouldering an unbearable burden with nearly five million Syrian refugees. Yet fewer than three per cent have been taken in by donor countries”

Justin Byworth says : “As we observe International Migrants Day this Sunday, we need to admit that the EU still has much to deliver for children on the move. Too often they fall outside of the EU and their Member States’ sight and priority to prevent and reduce migration. Now, more than ever, the EU and its Member States need to step up actions to ensure that children on the move are fully protected,”
