A/HRC/15/29 requirement of immediate payment or proof of payment can also impede access to the health service; the use of health care and services as an instrument of immigration control policies such as the duty to report undocumented migrants by health professionals; fear of deportation or detention of themselves or their families; and, finally, lack of information about migrant’s entitlements and guarantees in relation to health services and goods. A particular area of concern lies in the area of childhood immunization; many migrant children are unable to gain access to vaccinations in a timely manner, with long-term effects on their health. H. Access to social services: Housing 64. Migrant children and their families can often be found living in substandard housing, whether because they cannot pay high rents, because their legal status prevents them from renting legally or because they have joined diaspora communities that live in run-down and spatially segregated parts of the city. Children who work, including domestic workers, may live in employer-provided accommodation which is overcrowded and unsanitary.55 65. Article 27 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child recognizes the right of every child to a standard of living adequate for the child’s physical, mental, spiritual, moral and social development, and calls on States to provide material assistance and support programmes, particularly with regard to nutrition, clothing and housing. The Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights has stated that “the right to adequate housing applies to everyone” and that “individuals, as well as families, are entitled to adequate housing regardless of age, economic status, group or other affiliation or status and other such factors.”56 66. The Committee has expressed concern that migrant families are “disproportionately concentrated in poor residential areas characterised by low-quality, poorly maintained large housing complexes” and recommended the “effective implementation of existing legislation to combat discrimination in housing, including discriminatory practices carried out by private actors”.57 67. The European Committee of Social Rights has ruled that irregular migrant children should not be evicted from reception centres following failed asylum proceedings, observing that States are required to provide adequate shelter to all children in the territory, and that any other solution would run counter to the respect for their human dignity and not take account of the particularly vulnerable situation of children.58 I. Access to social services: Education 68. Children in the context of migration can face practical and legal obstacles to realizing their right to education. Fears that their irregular situation will be reported can deter enrolment, as can an inability to pay fees and buy uniforms and school materials. Migrant children can also face xenophobia and racism in the classroom, or pressure from their families to earn an income, leading to high dropout rates. 55 56 57 58 16 Save the Children, Children on the Move (UK, 2007).
