Data and Statistics Investigation

Within the last decade, tens of thousands of child migrants have vanished without a trace in Europe. Our investigation, conducted in 2021, uncovers the shocking disappearance of at least 18,000 unaccompanied child migrants between 2018 and 2020, raising serious concerns about the protection provided by European countries. Discover the inconsistencies and gaps in data that obscure the true extent of this crisis.
