refugee child
Minor fleeing home
A refugee child is a minor who has been forced to flee their home country due to war, persecution, or disaster.
The term emphasizes vulnerability—children face particular risks during displacement, including separation from family, interrupted education, and exploitation.
Refugee children often spend years in camps before resettlement.
International law affords them special protections.
