Abstract

This document is an attempt to imaginatively engage policymakers, and others working in relevant fields with the lives and experiences of independent child migrants. It presents accounts from 16 children (from Burkina Faso, Ghana, Bangladesh and India) who were interviewed in the course of the Migration DRC research so as to highlight what children themselves think and say about their lives.
