United Kingdom: Child Refugees – We Must Not Turn Our Backs (Opinion)
Huffington Post – April 25, 2016
Some 95,000 children and teenagers in Europe as part of the refugee crisis are alone with no one to look after them. Lord Alf Dubs’ amendment – which had overwhelming cross party support in the House of Lords – asks Britain to take just 3,000 of those children, so we do our bit to help. Because urgent help is needed. Thousands are sleeping rough because children’s homes are full and child protection services are overwhelmed. They face huge risk from cold, sickness, abuse, exploitation, violence and rape.
