“…Mientras que los chicos migran, generalmente, por cuestiones económicas (Bhabha et al, 2018), los motivos que se identifican en las chicas no acompañadas tienen mayor complejidad. En muchas ocasiones estos motivos, además, se interconectan.…”

La presente investigación es un análisis del colectivo de Niñas y Adolescentes Migrantes No Acompañadas acogidas en el Sistema de Protección de la Infancia y Adolescencia de la Comunidad Autónoma de [anonimizado] (España). Este colectivo está especialmente invisibilizado debido a la conjugación de su condición de menores de edad, personas migrantes y mujeres. La escasez numérica de detecciones y acogidas de este perfil dificulta la intervención especializada y adecuada a las necesidades que presentan. A través del análisis de los expedientes de niñas y adolescentes migrantes no acompañadas acogidas en [anonimizado] en el periodo 2011-2021, se establecerán unos perfiles específicos de este colectivo según sus motivos migratorios, que permitirán detectar sus diversas vulnerabilidades y necesidades específicas. Se incluirá la perspectiva de las profesionales que han intervenido con estas chicas, con el objetivo de proponer recomendaciones de mejora de la intervención, orientadas y adecuadas al perfil estudiado. La investigación pretende impulsar la visibilización y empoderamiento de las niñas y adolescentes como agentes emergentes en los proyectos migratorios con características específicas, contribuir en su estudio ante la escasez existente de investigaciones y datos concretos, e incorporar recomendaciones de mejora en la intervención con estas niñas y adolescentes que garanticen su protección ante sus necesidades específicas.

“…A growing body of literature focuses on asylum‐seeking children (Bhabha, 2014; Bhabha et al, 2018; Glawischnig, 2018; Pruitt, 2021) and pays particularly attention to unaccompanied minors (Alemi & James, 2019; Bassermann & Spiegelfeld, 2018; Clayton et al, 2019; Edlins & Larrison, 2020; Kanics et al, 2010; Koppenberg, 2014; Sedmak et al, 2018; Zschirnt, 2011). This includes some existing research for Austria (Dursun & Sauer, 2018, 2021), yet there is scarce literature about asylum‐seeking children who arrive with their families.…”

Waiting in the Austrian asylum system: The well‐being of asylum‐seeking children in a phase of liminality

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article sheds light on the waiting period experienced by asylum-seeking children in Austria. We argue that this period can be defined as a 'phase of liminality' in which 'precarity' of asylum seekers is produced. The article analyses how children experience institutional settings that produce precarity in relation to their well-being. The aim is to contribute to a sound understanding of children's experiences while waiting for an asylum decision and to a child-centred perspective on children that focuses on their needs, wishes and agency. The article draws on 27 interviews with asylum-seeking children living in a basic services accommodation in Vienna, conducted in 2020 and 2021. The findings demonstrate the importance of listening to asylum-seeking children to support their well-being during this phase of liminality and implementing child-centred asylum policies that are responsive to children's well-being.

“…In 2018, 70.8 million people were forcibly displaced as a result of persecution, conflict, violence, or human rights violations, among whom children under 18 constitute about 50% (UNHCR, 2019). A fundamental problem of the injustices facing young migrants is that many in practice lack access to basic resources such as education, health, security and political representation (Bhabha, 2009;Bhabha et al, 2018;Josefsson, 2017bJosefsson, , 2019. The precarious situation of young migrants has in the last decade led to several global efforts to address and find governance structures for the protection of rights for this group (Bhabha, 2019).…”

“…Nevertheless, despite decades of efforts to mainstream and implement rights of young migrants through policy work and governance institutions, the simultaneous enforcement of restrictive immigration politics by recipient states, primarly democracies of the Global North, has undercut the possibility of realizing rights of young migrants (Bhabha, 2009(Bhabha, , 2019Bhabha et al, 2018;Josefsson, 2017b;Sedmak et al, 2018;Smyth, 2014). Scholarship has shown how child rights principles such as the best interest principle not only have poor normative force in asylum procedures, but moreover can be interpreted and used by migration authorities and courts in such a way as to enforce and legitimize deportations in the name of protection or family reunification (Anderson, 2012;Josefsson, 2017a, Lind, 2019, Sedmak et al, 2019.…”

This paper argues that contemporary child and youth experiences of globalization call for retheorizing global justice around a new concept of empowered inclusion. The first part of the paper examines three case studies in globalizationchild labour movements, child and youth migration, and young people's organization around climate changeand shows how, in each case, young people, through their struggles against injustice, are simultaneously disempowered and empowered by their deep global interdependency. The second part proposes new theoretical advances in global justice that better respond to child and youth experiences through a childist concept of the empowered inclusion of both children and other marginalized groups. And the third part advances some preliminary suggestions about how a more child-responsive conception of global power and justice might be operationalized in practice across global policies, institutions, and culture.
