(Milan) – Children as young as 12 and traveling without family members are kept for weeks in overcrowded and unsafe conditions in the #Pozzallo migrant registration center in Sicily, Human Rights Watch said today. Some asylum-seeking and other migrant children stay for over one month with unrelated adults in the center, designed for short-term stays, due to lack of space in shelters for children, putting them at risk of sexual abuse and violence from adults.
