KIND’s Blueprint for the protection of unaccompanied children provides guidance on how the U.S. government should uphold its responsibility to treat these children humanely and in accordance with the law and this country’s ideals. Their unique vulnerabilities require a legal and policy framework that provides enhanced procedural safeguards and protection mechanisms essential to helping unaccompanied children overcome daunting obstacles to relief.
This resource provides an administrative blueprint for establishing those safeguards and mechanisms and for best protecting children at every stage of their migration journey. It outlines a comprehensive set of policy recommendations, spanning a range of federal agencies and issue areas. KIND’s recommendations are grounded in over a decade of experience working directly with thousands of unaccompanied children and in our vision for a world in which children’s rights and well-being are protected as they migrate alone in search of safety.
