Migrant children and youth in Serbia, Croatia, and North Macedonia face violence, exploitation, and discrimination as they travel north seeking refuge in other European countries. The COVID-19 crisis has created even more challenges for migrant children and youth in Southeast Europe, putting them at a higher risk of severe stress and trauma while limiting their access to education and social services.

In this two-year initiative, GFC supports four community-based organizations in Croatia, North Macedonia, and Serbia that are increasing protections for migrant children and youth and promoting tolerance in transit and host countries. GFC aims to improve locally led service delivery and to strengthen connections between partners to advocate for change and reduce the exploitation and stigmatization of migrant children in the region.
