Episode notes

In recent years, Europe has witnessed a surge in human mobility, which regrettably includes children. In 2022, the influx of migrant children into Europe rose by almost 50% compared to the previous year. Tragically, a significant portion of these children subsequently go missing. NGOs such as Child Focus and Missing Children Europe are dedicated to aiding in the search for these missing children.

According to Lost in Europe, a cross-border journalism project investigating the disappearance of child migrants in Europe more than 51,000 unaccompanied minors went missing in Europe between 2021-2023.
