There are currently more than 20,000 unaccompanied foreign minors living in Italy. It's one of the highest numbers ever recorded since 2015. At least 12 minors escape from shelters and disappear every day. The situation of migrant minors in Europe is one of the most pressing issues today.
In the book ‘Perdersi in Europa senza familiglia’ (EN = Getting lost in Europe without family), Cecilia Ferrara and Angela Gennaro try to tell stories of boys and girls who are too often invisible in Europe.
The book is a work of investigative and collaborative journalism to answer some crucial questions: what are the routes unaccompanied foreign minors use to reach Europe? What are the dangers they face? Is the European Union really able to welcome and protect them?
