Children behind bars, traumatized and afraid
TRACK 23 » part 1
When Human Rights Watch first saw Yemi, the 17-year-old boy was huddled on a concrete bench in
the corner of a windowless, graffitied holding cell run by the French border police. Clad in a stiff new
leather jacket but otherwise without clothing warm enough to face Paris in January, Yemi had been in
the cell for nine hours. Yemi’s testimony, whispered in English beneath the din of the other detainees,
revealed his fears. He had no idea why he was locked up, no grasp of the paperwork the French had
asked him to sign, and no understanding of when or how he would be able to challenge his
detention.Yemi’s despair and fear in detention is not unusual. Yemi, from Nigeria, is one of at least
12,000 migrant children who arrive in the European Union irregularly each year without a parent or
other guardian. Tens of thousands more enter with a parent or another family member. Children like
Yemi – whether travelling alone or with family – are all too often detained, denied their rights, and left
without the care to which they are entitled.

The countries of the EU are, in many respects, leaders on children’s rights around the globe. Yet Europe
is failing to meet migrant children’s needs. International law says children should never be detained
because of their or their parent’s migration status, yet a number of European Union countries lock up
these exceptionally vulnerable migrants.France detains as many as 500 children a year who arrive
alone at the borders and airports. Bulgaria settles unaccompanied children with unrelated adults in
migrant detention centers and doesn’t provide the legal guardians international law requires. Detaining
children with their parents remains a common practice in a number of EU member states. In other
situations, parents are detained and children are separated from their parents and placed in care. Even
those who are not detained face violations of their basic rights, particularly if they are undocumented:
in far too many countries, they cannot access services or justice and do not have adequate
guardianship. Undocumented children are even prevented from getting essential health services in
many European countries until their condition is considered an
emergency. Even victims of violence may face detention and deportation, rather than the protection
they need.

Labour migration
TRACK 21 - Part 1
Millions of people worldwide are leaving their home countries every year in search of work. But many
are not looking simply for better work. Propelled by poverty and insecurity, they are looking for any
work. Migration of labour is a key feature of globalization, and it makes a significant impact on the world
economy. Every year, migrant workers send home to developing countries large volumes of remittances
to support their families and communities, while at the same time contributing to the economic growth
and prosperity in host countries. Today’s migrants face many challenges – including poor conditions of
work and discrimination. Migrant workers are increasingly in demand, not only for high-skilled
information technology and professional jobs, but also for many of the low-paid, less skilled jobs in
agriculture, cleaning and maintenance, construction, domestic service, and health care. Migrants are
often relegated to the “three D” – dirty, dangerous, and degrading – jobs that national workers reject or
are not available for. Many migrants work in precarious and unprotected conditions in the growing
informal economy.
TRACK 22 » part 2
There is global consensus now on contributions of labour migration to growth and development in both
source and destination countries. It contributes to home country development through worker
remittances, the transfer of capital and skills through returning migration and transfers of skills and
technology and investments by transnational communities abroad. Yet the loss of crucial skills (brain
drain) from developing countries is a cause for concern. Global labour mobility ensures efficient and
optimal utilization of labour. But barriers are being erected to mobility between potential migrants and
labour market demand for foreign labour in host countries. This leads to the unfortunate result of making
smuggling and trafficking of human beings a highly profitable enterprise at the expense of gross
violations of basic human and labour rights. Labour migration policies that are not founded on a respect
for human and labour rights can exact high costs on individual migrants and their home societies. There
is evidence that 10-15 per cent of migration today involves migration under irregular situations –
entering or working in countries without
authorization. Irregular migration leads to high levels of exploitation, forced labour, and abuse of human
rights. The global challenge today is to formulate policies and mechanisms to regulate and manage
labour migration and ensure that it contributes positively to development of both
home and host societies and to the well-being of migrants themselves.
