A/79/213 measures to prevent childhood statelessness, and support legal service providers to assist in individual cases of child statelessness; (p) Strengthen national child protection, education, health, housing and social protection systems by building capacity to deliver services that are inclusive of all children regardless of their or their family’s migration status, and to facilitate children’s best interests through cross-border collaboration between services. Inclusive services must recognize intersecting factors that compound risks of marginalization, including gender, age, migration status, disability, sexual orientation and gender identity, nationality, race, colour, ethnicity, religion and socioeconomic status; (q) Establish firewalls and ensure separation of functional responsibilities between immigration authorities and those providing care, protection and services for children and families. Personal data of children must only be collected, used, retained and shared in accordance with the child’s best interests and clear child protection objectives; (r) Ensure children in migration contexts can bring legal claims and complaints, and can access justice, accountability and redress if their rights are violated, including by ensuring children’s access to legal advice and representation and other procedural safeguards; (s) Promote the social inclusion of migrant children and facilitate their integration in local schools and communities, including through provision of additional language training and mental health and psychosocial support, particularly when children have experienced trauma, and recognize the positive contributions of migrant children and youth; (t) Invest in combating discrimination and xenophobia, including by countering harmful migration narratives, and applying and reinforcing, if needed, existing laws when hate crimes or xenophobic or intolerant acts or expressions occur against migrant children and youth, including online acts; (u) Ensure migrant and displaced children, and those at risk of displacement, are included in the development of national and local disaster risk reduction strategies and climate adaptation plans; (v) Disaggregate data to understand children’s different needs in migration contexts, inform evidence-based policies and programmes and improve outcomes for children; (w) Ensure no child is returned unless a robust, multidisciplinary process, with the central involvement of child protection authorities, determines it is in the child’s best interests. Any expedited procedures or fast-tracked border screening measures must include safeguards to account for child-specific risks. States are encouraged to use guidance on a child rights approach to sustainable reintegration of migrant children and families; 151 (x) Support migrant children’s transition into adulthood, including through extending safeguards and services and ensuring their status enables completion of any ongoing education or training after turning 18 years of age; (y) Create opportunities for migrant children and youth, and their representative organizations, to meaningfully participate in migration policymaking and review processes; and build the capacity of migrant youth organizations, which are often the most able to reach marginalized children. __________________ 151 24-13410 See, for example, IOM and UNICEF, A Child Rights Approach to the Sustainable Reintegration of Migrant Children and Families (2020). 23/24
