“Today's proposal of the EU law on returns could mask child rights violations as efficiency. Migration management must never come at the expense of children’s rights,” @ToscanoFed, Senior Advocacy Advisor at @SaveChildrenEU

SPOKESPERSON ALERT: Following reports of 24+ migrant children missing in 2 Med shipwrecks, @ToscanoFed said:"This tragedy should be a wakeup call for EU governments. How many more lives will be lost before leaders invest in coordinated SAR & safer routes for children & families?"

‼️ BREAKING

Dopo 7 anni di indagini, la nave civile #Iuventa sequestrata e lasciata marcire, 24 vite in ostaggio, a #Trapani la maxi montatura giudiziaria contro il soccorso civile in mare finisce nell'ennesima bolla di sapone: TUTTƏ PROSCIOLTƏ perché "il fatto non sussiste."

[Save the Children Europe @SaveChildrenEU]

A historic step, but for all the wrong reasons.

The new #EUMigrationPact prioritises border protection over people, neglecting families and children escaping violence, conflict, hunger and death while seeking protection in Europe.

1/2

[Save the Children Europe @SaveChildrenEU]

New #EUMigrationPact will drastically undermine children’s rights in Europe.

“It’s clear that @Europarl_EN & EU Member States have prioritised restricting access to Europe over the protection of children,” says @bergwill1 @SaveChildrenEU Director

This is Mamadou Kouassi, the scriptwriter for 'Io Capitano' who inspired the story and lived through the journey himself, asking on behalf of the whole film crew that MEPs reject this #MigrationPact. ❤️

SPOKESPERSON ALERT: The final vote on Pact on Migration & Asylum on 10 April is the EU's last chance to protect children seeking safety in Europe. “The decision will impact children fleeing conflict, hunger & death for decades. It is imperative the EU gets it right”-@ToscanoFed

🎥Watch @ToscanoFed discuss with @olgajablonska findings of new joint report shedding light on the educational challenges faced by Ukrainian refugee children within the Polish education system.

🆕 In the last two years, over 2 million children fled their countries of origin to Europe.

More than 50% of them face danger on their way, according to a new Save the Children report.

Children describe being beaten by border officials and police, and sleeping in forests ⬇️

[Federica Toscano @ToscanoFed]

The many declarations of success hear from politicians today pretend to ignore that this Pact doesn't provide any effective and workable solution to the current challenges that we face in managing migration in Europe. It won't take long to see it.

[Save the Children Europe @SaveChildrenEU]

🚨HISTORICALLY BAD🚨

The agreement reached today between @Europarl_EN @EU_Commission & national governments under @eu2023es on #MigrationEU #MigrationPact will lead to blatant violations of children’s rights, endanger children on the move & further separate families.

[Save the Children Europe @SaveChildrenEU]

‼️ European leaders' choices will determine the fate of migrant children as they head into #MigrationEU Pact negotiations on #InternationalMigrantsDay.

Save the Children warns that #MigrationPact will further entrench child rights abuses in Europe.

Why? Follow the thread⬇️🧵

[Federica Toscano @ToscanoFed]

@Europarl_EN @eu2023es & @EUCouncil are discussing how old&for how long children can be detained at EUborders, if siblings can be part of their family, and more appalling matters. What we need instead➡️https://t.co/Njs8PqVcmb

[Save the Children Europe @SaveChildrenEU]

With EU decision-makers inching closer to a consensus on the EU Asylum & #MigrationPact, Save the Children remains extremely concerned about the decisions @Europarl_EN @eu2023es @EUCouncil will strike on 18 December as they conclude negotiations.

Watch @ToscanoFed explain ⬇️

The #MigrationEU Pact needs to prioritise
❗️protection
❗️dignity
❗️human rights
❗️family reunification and
❗️successful integration of refugee and migrant children into European society

@SaveChildrenDE @SaveChildrenES @SaveChildrenIT @SaveChildrenNL @redbarnetdk @pelastakaalapse @raddabarnen

[Federica Toscano @ToscanoFed]

How old should be the children who can be locked up at EU borders? That's the level reached by the negotiations on the Pact. This doesn't work, not for Europe and certaintly not for children @eu2023es @EP_Justice

[Save the Children Europe @SaveChildrenEU]

The EU negotiations on #MigrationPact are reaching a boiling point today as co-legislators convene in Brussels to conclude the #MigrationEU reform.

‼️ With @picum_ngo @EuroMedRights and @Border_Violence, we raise alarm over the detention and deportation age, following the @eu2023es document released last night.

We did this today 👇

[Save the Children Europe @SaveChildrenEU]

🪁 Kids should go to playgrounds, not detention centres ‼️

As EU legislators gather in Brussels to finalise the #MigrationEU Pact at #JHA & ‘Jumbo Trilogues’ Save the Children sends a powerful message, urging them to make a pact that works for children.

[ECRE @ecre]

A great initiative from @SaveChildrenEU 👏

✅Children should play with friends ❌ Not with border police

[Margaret Tuite @MargaretTuite1]

I think the EU has absolutely nothing - zero - to say on children’s rights and human rights from here on in. Your president @vonderleyen and @EP_President have shown this. Human rights are for everyone or no one. #Gaza blood on #EU hands. #CeasefireNOW

[Save the Children Europe @SaveChildrenEU]

FEATURED: @EURACTIV “The Pact on Asylum and #MigrationEU that is currently negotiated cannot be built on deterrence: the political priority should be to offer children protection, not to ‘protect’ external borders from them.” @ToscanoFed @Save_GlobalNews

EU money should not go in the hands of people who undermine fundamental rights @IratxeGarper very well said! #SOTEU2023
