Unaccompanied & Separated Minors

The term “separated minors” refers to minors who have been separated from both parents or their established legal or customary primary caregiver, though this may not necessarily involve separation from other relatives. This category can encompass children in the company of different adult family members. On the other hand, unaccompanied children, also known as unaccompanied minors, are those who have been set apart from both parents and additional relatives, lacking care from an adult with legal or customary responsibility for them.
