Substandard medical care of detained immigrant children experiencing common acute illnesses: Evidence from a U.S. family immigration detention facility
Purpose Access to timely, pediatric-specific medical care is critical for every acutely ill child to prevent complications, long-term disability and untimely death. This is particularly important in contexts such as immigration detention facilities, which pose unique risks to children. This study aims to analyze the quality of acute medical care of common childhood illnesses that was delivered in a family immigration detention facility in the US.…
Child Migrants in Family Detention in the US: Addressing Fragmented Care
Our findings revealed significant gaps in documentation, particularly in medical decision-making and clinical reasoning. In a fragmented medical system, inadequate documentation can result in avoidable errors in diagnosis and management. Improving documentation practices is crucial to ensure that all children, regardless of immigration status, receive quality healthcare aligned with national and international standards
The Hidden Costs of Unaccompanied Child Migration
Dramatic reductions in refugee resettlement numbers, restrictions on asylum access and growing externalisation of humanitarian protection have significantly curtailed legal migration pathways for distress migrants. This continues to be the case despite well-established international legal obligations requiring states to protect humanitarian migrants and afford children, in particular, a series of protective procedures. We argue that unaccompanied…
Who’s to Blame in the Sex Trafficking of Women: Situational and Individual Factors that Define a “Deserving Victim”
Public opinion frequently assigns some degree of responsibility to victims of human trafficking for their “voluntary” engagement in the phenomenon, thus denying the existence of “innocent victims” and attributing blame to them for not preventing their victimization. Through the use of distinct, predefined “victimization scenarios”, this research explores attributions of blame toward female victims and male clients of sex trafficking and the situa…
Gendered aspects of distress migration: Taking note of Rohingya voices
A qualitative study conducted among Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh provides empirical confirmation of two types of adverse consequence that frequently occur following distress migration: harsh and exclusionary host state policies, and exacerbation of power inequities (and related abuse) within the refugee community. This article describes research that explored the circumstances of female Rohingya refugees living in the Cox’s Bazar refugee camps…
The boys from the land don’t get anything’: Unaccompanied minors’ experience of child protection environments and the humanitarian border in Greece
We examine how the changes in migration patterns and humanitarian assistance policies in response to the 2015–2016 migration crisis in Greece affected unaccompanied migrant children’s access to shelters in Greece. Forty-four migrant youth aged 18–21 who arrived in Greece as unaccompanied children were recruited for in-depth interviews regarding their experiences in Greece. Life history calendars were constructed to establish the sequence of event…
The endings of journeys: A qualitative study of how Greece’s child protection system shapes unaccompanied migrant children’s futures
Sexual abuse and exploitation of unaccompanied migrant children in Greece: Identifying risk factors and gaps in services during the European migration crisis
Attitudes Towards the Victim and the Client of Sex Trafficking in Greece: The Influence of Belief in a Just World, Structural Attributions, Previous Experience, and Attitudes Towards Prostitution
Although scholarly interest in human trafficking has grown over the years, public attitudes towards the victim and the client of sex trafficking remain understudied. The present study explores these attitudes in Greece, a country that plays an important role in the sex-trafficking chain, through a sample of 624 Greek male and female participants. It further examines belief in a just world, structural attributions towards human trafficking, previo…
