Documentary abstract — original language

The main objective of the study is to investigate which policies are already in place pertaining to unaccompanied, separated and migrant children in South Africa. Children migrate to South Africa from neighbouring countries as Mozambique and Zimbabwe but also from countries as far away as the Democratic Republic of South Africa, without their parents or guardians. South Africa has developed legal and policy measures for securing the rights of children. Are these measures consistent with existing international frameworks and standards? Also, to what extent are these policies being used to resolve the problems unaccompanied children face? Related to this question is the issue of implementation. The thesis considers how the responsible departments and state officials such as Magistrates, social workers, police officials and the Department of Home Affairs implement these policies. This minor dissertation would then make some recommendations to the South African government.
