Description
Egyptian families often resort to migration as a strategy to mitigate their poverty (in 2023, Egypt, with 11,515 arrivals in Italy, was the fifth nationality for entries through irregular channels). The shortage and/or weakness of child protection systems and alternatives to extreme poverty represent a priority area for intervention. This programme will build and strengthen systems to provide gender-responsive child protection (CP) services to children, adolescents, and their families. These services will address various issues, including those related to irregular migration, smuggling, and trafficking. Services will thus be provided to those at risk or affected by issues associated with irregular migration. Accordingly, the programme will include support for children at risk of or who have experienced violence, abuse, and exploitation, including in their own villages or in the migration routes. Services will include direct protection and legal support as well as referrals for other basic services, including education, social protection (SP), and economic empowerment. In addition, this programme will develop and implement a positive deviant programme and raise awareness among young people about the risks associated with irregular migration, smuggling, and trafficking.
