Abstract The present study is part of a theoretical field that debates about the confluence between the themes of childhood and forced migration. More specifically, it analyzes the formation of refugee children in Brazil, based on one of its facets: requests from children registered with the National Committee for Refugees. This analysis is centered on the descriptive statistics of the profile of such children, based on data made available by CONARE in 2017, listing the cases registered until April 2016. For this purpose, the article starts from a reflective topic on social meanings of the demand for refuge, and then it presents the quantitative description of children's requests. Based on these two topics, the article brings reflections on the configuration of the search for children for refuge nationally and on the connection of migrant refugee movements with the different generational categories. In summary, debate on the reverberation in Brazil of the flows derived from the non-guarantee of protecting the lives of children in their country of origin.
