Report Foreword: Migrants Article and Cr Peau

report foreword: The editorial states that, according to the study: children and adults are detained together, 'leading to physical and sexual violence and abuse, while disrespectful staff may exacerbate feelings of humiliation.' This quote was taken from the report foreword, written by François Crépeau, the United Nations special rapporteur on the human rights of migrants, according to Toronto Star. Article Continued Below In this instance, Mr. As a co-author of the report, I would like to make a brief clarification. Crépeau was describing child immigration detention practices in various countries, and not specifically in Canada. In Canada, children are generally held with their mothers in designated wings of immigration detention facilities, and we have not documented any evidence of physical or sexual violence and abuse in these facilities. While children and adults are detained together in other parts of the world, and suffer physical and sexual violence and abuse as a result, this was not a finding of our study, which focused on child immigration detention practices in Canada.
