Like all people on the move, minors travelling this dangerous route have encountered systematic violence and abuse, which results in post-traumatic stress disorder with multiple symptoms, but also an increased number of episodes of aggressive and violent behaviour as a result of the trauma they suffered. The mental health of the minors we assist poses an additional challenge to their social integration and must be prioritised\u201d. Although being a minority of cases, girls present specific vulnerabilities, one of them being cases of early marriage and pregnancy.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;234793&#8243;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; style=&#8221;dark&#8221; back_image=&#8221;109319&#8243; back_position=&#8221;center center&#8221; parallax=&#8221;yes&#8221; kburns=&#8221;magnetic&#8221; overlay_color=&#8221;color-rgdb&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; css_animation=&#8221;right-t-left&#8221; animation_speed=&#8221;600&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;169184&#8243; overlay_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;3&#8243;][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;113016&#8243; subheading=&#8221;The Invisible Unaccompanied Children&#8221;]Protection for all minors[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_button button_color=&#8221;color-214091&#8243; border_width=&#8221;0&#8243; button_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;976197&#8243; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fpeaceful-shtern.46-37-26-27.plesk.page%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F12%2FTHE-INVISIBLE-UNACCOMPANIED-CHILDREN_Executive-Summary.pdf&#8221;]READ THE DOCUMENT[\/vc_button][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;361705&#8243;]One of the most pressing issues is ensuring support for boys and girls when they turn 18. \u201cYour life and your needs don\u2019t change on your birthday, but your legal status does \u2013 INTERSOS\u2019 Hellas project manager Christos Ananiadis underlines \u2013 It\u2019s urgent to identify solutions to support the transition to adulthood, implementing programs that equip minors with essential life skills, but also strengthening assistance to minors in obtaining a 10-year residency permit under the Migration Code, ensuring continuity in support and legal stability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As we\u2019re writing, the Protection for All Minors programme manages over 150 active cases through the Urban Safe Space managed by the Network for Children Rights in Athens and the remote support to cases in other areas of the country. This number shows the consistency of needs, but it also highlights the challenge of providing each case with the required attention and access to services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen an Interpol report came out with the staggering number of 10.000 children missing in Europe, many were shocked \u2013 Apostolos Veizis, INTERSOS Hellas Director, observes \u2013 But we must be aware that those 10.000 minors did not really disappear without a reason. It was because the European reception and assistance system lost track and could not take care of them. Our intervention aims to bridge the gaps in our reception system and facilitate the identification of structural and permanent solutions, which is the job of the Greek Government and the European Union. Often, it\u2019s not a matter of financial resources but of political will.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last two years, through the constant dialogue with civil society and Greek institutions, the Protection for All Minors programme has shaped an effective model for overcoming the limits and bottlenecks of the system, promoting the safety and dignity of all minors, and ensuring safe pathways from precarious conditions to social integration for children who have been separated from either their parents or primary caregivers.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;520044&#8243;] For more
