Middle East and North Africa
We campaign for sustainable solutions for children and young people on the move in the Middle East and North Africa and Europe, including for those who travel across the Mediterranean.
What we are doing
We are campaigning to ensure that children travelling to Europe through the Mediterranean can access comprehensive, protective and sustainable solutions that ensure fulfilment of their human rights and their best interests. This includes advocacy at EU level. We are establishing a youth ambassador’s programme to support young people to be at the heart of and lead the direction of campaigning.
We are developing a new campaign strategy in MENA so more coming soon.
Members and partners in MENA
In each region, we work with a variety of local, national and international youth-led organisations and civil society organisations whose work is grounded in the rights of the child, and which have expertise in child protection, mobility, research and campaigning. Our members work in many different ways to promote and enhance protection and the participation of children and young people.
