A bill safeguarding migrant children
moved from the Senate to the House on Wednesday. The bill, which
beefs up protection for migrant minors, got 170 ayes, 50 nays
and eight abstentions in the upper house. The bill moved between
the two houses a day after a UNICEF report said refugee and
migrant children and women are routinely suffering sexual
violence, exploitation, abuse and detention along the Central
Mediterranean migration route from North Africa to Italy. The
report was titled 'A Deadly Journey for Children: The Central
Mediterranean Migrant Route'.
