Report: Transgender Children

report: The report looked at issues such as child welfare services on First Nations reserves, the rights of transgender children, children with disabilities and migrant children locked up in detention centres alongside their parents as their cases are processed, according to Hamilton Spectator. The federal government has been promising a fix for child welfare services on reserves, but First Nations groups say no real progress has been made. The agency said it aimed to shine a light on the problems of children in its 2016 annual report to Parliament, released Thursday. The report said transgender children often report bullying and harassment. It quoted a University of Toronto estimate that between 2010 and 2014, an average of 242 children in Canada were detained annually for immigration reasons. Children with disabilities reported similar problems. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
