South Africa's approach to refugees effectively ignores children's rights, experts have warned. It comes with the danger of forcing children to remain undocumented indefinitely, denying them access to basic services.
At the recent Global Scholars Academy (GSA) at Stellenbosch University (SU), Professor Fatima Khan, director of the Refugee Rights Unit at the University of Cape Town (UCT), and Emeritus Professor Sonia Human of SU's law faculty unpacked the Refugee Amendment Act of 2020, saying that it failed to protect the rights of child refugees.
SU's faculties of law and economic and management sciences have partnered with Harvard Law School's Institute for Global Law and Policy (IGLP) in the United States to host the GSA in South Africa.
