The IRC speaks up on the funding needs to respond to the surge in arrivals of more than 52,000 unaccompanied children from Central America to the U.S. border since October.
“... if the IRC is speaking out today on behalf of the protection needs of the unaccompanied children arriving in the recent surge, it is because we firmly believe that there is now sufficient and compelling evidence to suggest that violence is a predominant factor in what has become a forced displacement situation.”
