Summary

It is estimated that at least one million children are deprived of their liberty worldwide. Held at police stations, detained in prisons and detention centres, or placed in reform schools and other (closed) institutions, these children are often confronted with (gross) violations of their human rights. They are deprived of their liberty for obscure reasons; detained in inadequate and overcrowded facilities together with adults; denied family contact; and subjected to violence, abuse and neglect by staff or other inmates. Children deprived of their liberty are at risk of having their childhoods and future life opportunities wasted away. --, Provided by publisher
