By definition, a refugee is someone who leaves one country to seek refuge in another.
The children in these photographs had little say about the circumstances that led them to join the human tide that has swept into Europe this summer.
Their faces and stories were captured by the award-winning Swedish photographer Magnus Wennman, who has followed the story from the borders of Turkey to Beirut and Jordan, and the railway stations of central Europe.
All of these young girls and boys carry a heavy load of trauma with their few possessions.
The horrors they have witnessed are etched on their faces and in their minds, and will not easily be forgotten. If all goes well, they may find safety in their new homes … but a refuge from their past will be another matter.
