I was told by the professionals from the residential care facility that in some specific cases children have the right to special protection. For example, some of my friends were refugees and according with the Geneva Convention they were entitled to special protection measures. Some other youngsters who have experienced very bad things at home or on their way told about what they have been through and got special protection. Knowing this and accessing special protection was very important for them to have their rights recognized and to be more protected from any form of violence, abuse or trafficking.

 

Get informed and explain properly your situation because you can obtain special protection as a refugee and also in other cases such as abuse or exploitation.
