KIND

At #IMRF2026, @UNHumanrights joined @UNICEF, @UNMigration, @supportKIND & @MYCPOfficial to launch the #GCM Family Unity Initiative—a multi-stakeholder effort to advance family-centered migration pathways. Join us to make family unity a reality 🔗bit.ly/42pAcDb #StandUp4Migrants

Our UK partner @GMIAU is raising awareness on proposed policy changes that could leave families homeless and allow children to be detained by immigration officers. Read their full guide to learn what's at stake: gmiau.org/guide-to-the-f…

Unaccompanied children are spending more time in federal custody as families face stricter sponsorship requirements. The consequences are real: longer family separation, and kids so worn down they give up before their case is heard. bit.ly/4uB2UwP

Many thanks to @ItamaratyGovBr, @CancilleriaCol, @SRE_mx, @CancilleriaUy, and @UN_SPExperts, Gehad Madi for your co-sponsorship and leadership on this important issue. To learn more about how you can support this Initiative, read our Concept Note here: bit.ly/42pAcDb

Family unity is a fundamental human right. At #IMRF2026, KIND joined @UNHumanrights, @UNICEF, @UNMigration, & @MYCPOfficial to launch the GCM Family Unity Initiative, advancing concrete pledges to safeguard family unity and facilitate family reunification for migrants.

Thank you @SenOssoff for fighting to ensure that pregnant unaccompanied youth in ORR custody have access to essential specialized care. wabe.org/georgia-senato…

Children in crisis need coordinated support, not fragmented systems. KIND joined the “Lawyers–NGOs” Forum in Lublin to discuss how pro bono legal aid, humanitarian action, and child protection partnerships can better support refugee and migrant children. bit.ly/4u0VVgS

It is inspiring to hear from @supportKIND about the critical value of legal help and what it can help young people accomplish. @CMBrookePinto @DCBarFoundation

KIND is proud to testify today @councilofdc about why investing in the Access to Justice Initiative is essential. This is a unique program that works and sets DC apart in its commitment to access to justice. #dcciviljustice

At #IMRF2026, KIND President Wendy Young joined partners to launch the GCM Family Unity Initiative, advancing safe, family-centered migration pathways & concrete pledges for family reunification. @UNHumanRights @UNICEF @UNmigration @UN_SPExperts @MYCPofficial

The UK govt wants to allow immigration officers to use physical force on children who resist deportation. Their own document calls this "unfortunate but necessary." This is state-sanctioned trauma. Children and families deserve protection, not force. bit.ly/4cTMMRf

Grateful to meet @UN_SPExperts Gehad Madi during #IMRF2026 at an event celebrating migrant children and youth with @UNICEF and @MYCPofficial. KIND values our collaboration with his office and his commitment to migrant children, family unity, and children’s rights.

KIND is proud to join world leaders and UN partners in New York this week for #IMRF2026, where we’re pushing for stronger commitments to protect the rights of unaccompanied and separated children on the move. Follow us for updates on our global advocacy work.

2 days until the GCM Family Unity Initiative launch. Join us, @UNHumanRights, @UNICEF, @MYCPofficial, & @UNmigration for a conversation on migration pathways that support reunification & keeps families together. 📅 May 6 📍 NYC+livestream 🕒 6:30 PM ET 🔗bit.ly/4w4WtDS

#DíadelaNiñez is a celebration of childhood across Mexico. For children on the move alone, childhood can look very different. That’s why we work in Mexico to provide legal support, rights education, & protection so children are not left to navigate these journeys on their own.

Thank you @SenCortezMasto and @SenTinaSmith for introducing the HELP Separated Children Act. When parents are detained, children need safety, stability, and family connection. This bill is an important step toward protecting children from harm. bit.ly/4eMfip2

Children as young as 4 are being rushed into immigration court, sometimes within days, without legal support. Rushed timelines don’t protect kids. They increase the risk of wrongful deportation while children spend months in custody. #ChildhoodonHold cnn.com/2026/04/28/pol…

4 young survivors. 4 powerful stories. Luan, Drita, Dielli and Arjeta arrived in the UK as children seeking asylum. Our partner @MiCLUteam has shared their journeys, challenges, milestones, and the words they wish someone had said to them. Read here: miclu.org/to-my-younger-…

Family reunification is one of the clearest ways to protect unaccompanied and separated children. Join KIND, @Refugees, RefugePoint and others for a FRUN mapping launch on what’s working in real-world practice. Register: bit.ly/frunmappingweb…

Children's safety is on the line. The Home Affairs Committee is scrutinizing proposed reforms to settlement routes and what they could mean for migrant and refugee children in the UK. Read @MiCLUteam's full breakdown of what's being examined: miclu.org/news/risks-to-…
