and those with family and non-accompanied
ROMA - How many foreign children in Italy? At 1 January 2009 were found to be 862,453, compared with 412,432 in January 2004. Then steadily increased over the past 6 years to reveal it is the first annual report on "foreign minors in Italy" presented by Save the Children. "It 's the first publication devoted entirely to them, and intends to become a regular event," said Valerio Blacks, who is director general of the International. "Work is the result of our efforts in support of hundreds of foreign children in areas where they are more present: in Rome, some port cities of Marche, Puglia and Sicily and other strategic places such as Turin recently." According to the report by Save the Children, would be on the rise and foreign students with families that unaccompanied minors: 6,587 in 2009, reported to the Committee for Foreign Minors. They arrive in our country mainly by sea, but also by the land border in the north - east, alone or in the hands of traffickers (smugglers) or dangerous pimps.
estimates are approximate, however, the official figures are rounded down to the minors due to the invisibility of these children (especially unaccompanied) or the children of undocumented parents. Most of these children, the report says, were born in Italy: about 519,000, while the remaining 343,753 would come through family reunification.
The report, "The foreign minors in Italy" Save the Children will be presented this morning in Rome, during the meeting organized at the headquarters of CivicoZero (Via Bruzi, 10), day care center for the support, guidance and protection of unaccompanied foreign minors in operation for one year in the capital. The meeting will be the occasion to explain the relationship of the project CivicoZero, his first budget, as well as a focus dedicated to the city of Rome, one of five Italian provinces where the highest number of citizen children, the first place goes to Milan, and to follow (after Rome) Torino, Brescia, Bergamo.
Children surveyed, the report by Save the Children, come from 77 different countries, predominantly African. In the opening, the Egyptian and Afghan minors. Especially in Rome, the data tell us that the two communities would be significant growth in the capital, many Egyptians 'disappeared' because they escaped from the host communities of Sicily after the arrival by sea.
In general, the largest group identified in the report are those of Morocco, Albania, Afghanistan, Palestine, Somalia, Eritrea, Nigeria, Republic of Serbia. Males are 90% of the total, and more than half of children 17 years old.
According to the survey, the points of entry of these children through the Italian border, are mostly those of the South: 2749 foreign children would have landed in 2008 from southern Italy, and of these 95% left Sicily in the province of Agrigento and more specifically in Lampedusa.
from the borders of Ancona and Venice, however, were about 210 foreign children have come, while you do not have access numbers for land borders. In general, all other border crossings seem to be significant: Fiumicino (Rome), Gorizia, Brindisi, Malpensa (Milan).
'It is essential to adopt shared standards and procedures regarding identification, age assessment and verification of reports of parental input in children - Blacks Valerio insists -. Making mistakes during one of these steps can result in the violation of certain fundamental rights which the owners are foreign children: including detention centers for adult migrants, deportation and the lack of protection from violence or exploitation.
