| Resumo: | To know the relationship between migration towards Europe of unaccompanied foreign minors (UFMs) and their vulnerability. 730 UFMs participated in this study. A questionnaire was used. This tool was divided into four blocks: demographic data, migratory circumstances before reaching Spain, migratory circumstances in Spain, and exposure to criminal behaviours. According to the statistical analysis in Spain, 87.7% of them crossed the Strait of Gibraltar in extremely hazardous conditions. Eighty-five percent suffered from deprivation during transit. Once settled in Spain, 22.5% of UFMs or their peers has been enticed to commit illegal acts. This study offers precise numbers on the conditions of vulnerability suffered by UFMs both during their migratory journey from Africa and when living in Europe |
