Aylan Kurdi 8 years later.

This week marks eight years since Aylan Kurdi was buried at the age of three. Aylan's father, who also lost his wife and older son in the shipwreck, said at the time, "Let these be the last to die, and may their deaths not be in vain."

What has changed in that time? Where do we stand now? We've written an article about it in which European Parliament Member Tineke Strik shares her vision. Spoiler alert: it's not very optimistic, although there is a glimmer of hope.
