Family separation
Involuntary separation of families
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Family separation is the condition where family members are involuntarily separated from each other, often because of immigration systems,[1][2][3] although it can happen for other reasons such as military service[4] or involuntary adoption.[5] Family separation can have a serious impact on mental health.[6] Because family separation interferes with the right to family life, family reunification is a reason for immigration in many countries.[7]
