‘At the end of 2022, an estimated 43.3 million’ (UNICEF) children have been forcibly displaced, making up ‘40 per cent’ of all displaced people living today.  

Through the migrant child series, we introduce children to celebrate their differences and their heritage no matter where in the world they are.
