Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) opened a welcome and orientation centre for foreign unaccompanied minors in Paris December 5th 2017.
An estimated 25,000 young people requested unaccompanied minor status in France in 2017. With four different pillars of activity – legal, medical, mental health and social – the centre will provide young foreigners with a comprehensive information and care package.
With the support of other associations (ADJIE, Safe Passage, COMEDE, “les avocats du barreau de Paris et de Seine-Saint-Denis”) MSF teams will monitor these young people’s situations and offer them support on their journeys.
