Abstract
Abstract: Currently, children account for almost half the number of refugees around the world, generally a fragile group, vulnerable to their own characteristics, especially when unaccompanied, which is not uncommon among refugee children. In this sense, special attention must be paid to the regulatory instruments that grant some protection and special observance to such individuals, so that the vulnerability framework is not strengthened. Brazil has some of the most developed legislation on the subject, as well as a broad organizational network and civil society entities responsible for assisting refugees and applicants throughout its territory. This study discussed law 9474/94 on the protection of refugee children in Brazil. It was concluded that adequate legislation is an essential prerequisite for a country to be able to provide and better serve refugee children, who are normally at risk and vulnerable. Keywords: Refugee child; Vulnerability; Protection of minors.
