Every year hundreds of children arrive in Italy through the Mediterranean in small boats insecure, with larger groups of adults, fleeing from violence and poverty. They are mainly children who travel into the arms of parents asylum seekers from countries of East Africa, and adolescents themselves, mostly from North Africa and the Middle East.
Upon arrival, Italy takes them several days in detention centers for migrants, in defiance of international norms, for which the detention of minors is an exceptional measure to be applied only in extreme cases.

The campaign "Invisible" enters its second year of operation, with the objective to get practice and rules for the detention of children at the border is fully in line with international standards on human rights, which, in many ways, they are still far away.
The group will hold a table 180 of Amnesty Sunday, April 22 to gather signatures from 10 to 13 and from 19 to 22 in C.so Vittorio Emanuele in Barletta, calling on the government policy that protects the rights of migrant children arriving in our country.
Help us break the silence and protect them!
