They come from Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria or Eritrea. Accompanied by their parents, they have fled war and persecution. Propelled on the roads, these children of exile had to face, despite their young age, multiple dangers to reach Europe. Others never made it to the end of their journey, swallowed up in the Mediterranean Sea, the cold of the mountains or the networks of slavery.
