Several children's rights organizations have called for legislation that ensures a residence permit for migrant children who have been in the Netherlands for over five years. Defence for Children, UNICEF and Save the Children say that many children live in fear and uncertainty. The Children's Pardon in 2013 did not offer a sufficient solution.
