On 15 May 2025, the Migration Youth & Children Platform (MYCP) and the co-facilitators of the United Nations Network on Migration (UNNM) workstream on Alternatives to Detention, the International Detention Coalition (IDC), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) organised an important Second Global Youth Consultation on Alternatives to Detention. This consultation was attended by more than 80 participants, brought together diverse perspectives from around the world, focusing on the persistent and complex issue of child immigration detention and the promotion of alternatives. The discussion centered on trends, challenges, promising practices, and the crucial role of youth and community organizations in advocating for alternatives to detention (ATD) and promoting the rights of children and youth in transit. Below are some of the contributions made by young people on the move through the different regional breakout rooms.
