International worries about the war-fleeing Ukrainian unaccompanied children

Many human rights organizations warned for the risk of human trafficking of vulnerable groups such as unaccompanied children after Russia invaded Ukraine. Investigative journalists from Lost in Europe found out that the 1.5 million children that fled from Ukraine within the first month of the war were not monitored properly. Only four countries registered how many unaccompanied children entered their country. Eight other European countries provided inadequate data, or did not register or provide data at all.
