Background and context
Migration in East Asia has been increasing in recent years, and it has had adverse effects on the well-being of children and their families which includes:

·Family Separation as many parents migrate from their home countries for better economic opportunities, leaving their children behind. This separation often leads to emotional distress, disrupted family dynamics, and a lack of parental care and guidance for the children,

·Exploitative Labor Conditions as migrants face long working hours, low wages, and hazardous environments,

·Limited Access to Education and health services, as migrant children often face language barriers, discriminatory policies, and a lack of documentation,

·Lack of birth registration and social Protection as migrants, particularly undocumented individuals, face significant challenges in accessing social protection mechanisms such as healthcare, legal support, and social welfare programs,

·Human Trafficking and Exploitation as the increase in migration has also led to a rise in human trafficking and exploitation, with children being particularly vulnerable to these crimes, and

·Discrimination and Stigmatization as migrant children and their families frequently face discrimination and stigmatization in host communities, which marginalizes them and denies them equal rights and opportunities.
