 So this is the fourth volume of IOM's fatal journeys report. The series generally tries to show as accurately as possible the available data on migrant deaths and disappearances worldwide. This year's report focuses on a very important thematic issue that is the issue of missing migrant children. IOM has recorded the deaths of nearly 1,600 children across the world since 2014, but unfortunately this number really only scratches the surface of the true number of child fatalities on migration routes worldwide. IOM is part of the Joint Call to Action with UNICEF, UNHCR, Eurostat and OACD that aims to improve data on children on the move. IOM firmly believes that improving data on missing migrants and on children on the move will help to create better evidence-based policies to protect those most vulnerable.
