The FXB Center for Health and Human Rights at Harvard University is hosting a virtual conversation on Thursday, May 2, 2024, from 12:00pm to 1:00pm EDT. The event will take place on Zoom and registration is required to attend. The discussion will focus on the key findings of the report titled “Child Migrants in Family Immigration Detention in the US: An Examination of Current Pediatric Care Standards and Practices”, which was published in January 2024. Speakers will talk about the report’s impact on policy implications, legal challenges, transparency in border security processes, and oversight of child-specific procedures. Following the discussion, there will be a Q&A session for participants.
Those interested in attending can find more details about the event on the website. Registration for the event can be completed on Zoom. The full report on Child Migrants in Family Immigration Detention in the US, along with the press release documenting the mental and physical harm experienced by children in immigration detention, are available for reading.
