EU Migration Policies Investigation

Our team of investigative journalists meticulously analyses migration policies within the EU, revealing the gaps in the asylum process that result in the disappearance of numerous child migrants. Furthermore, we delve into the mechanisms that leave these children outside the protective asylum system, highlighting the urgent need for enhanced safeguards and support.
