This Youth Day, the Migration Youth and Children Platform reaffirms the importance of creating spaces where these diverse experiences can be heard, connected and transformed into meaningful youth participation across borders, communities, and contexts.

Together with UNICEF, the Migration Youth and Children Platform directly introduces adopted language into the IMRF 2026 Progress Declaration; including the first-ever commitment on migrant mental health and the first actionable language on ending child immigration detention in the history of the International Migration Review Forum.
