Undocumented children – ‘All I want to do is to land’

A particularly vulnerable group in Sweden are children without documentation and refugee children in hiding. Rädda Barnen [Save the Children Sweden] has therefore focused on helping these children through a project called Utanpapper.nu [Withoutpapers.nu], which started in 2005 and aims to give information to children without documentation about their rights. In this report, Save the Children Sweden strengthens the knowledge about “undocumented” children living in Sweden. Their dreams, ambitions and strengths are captured through their quoted testimonies on how they have come into contact with the project workers. The report deals with the children, adolescents and their extended families who have sought out the helpline, and how professionals or concerned individuals can contribute to improving things for undocumented children around the world.
