The peak of the ‘Europe migrant crisis’ has witnessed a record number of unaccompanied and separated children crossing the Mediterranean Sea. It has been estimated that over hundred thousand minors from Asia and Africa have arrived in Europe in 2016 alone. A third of them were classified by the relevant authorities as unaccompanied or separated children, generally young men in their mid-teens who fled violence, chronic economic stagnation, and political turmoil in their countries. Direct engagement with children and youth impacted by humanitarian emergencies was crucial to ensure that their best interest was brought into policy discussions. However, for a variety of reasons, children's voices were often not heard.
