From 2014 to 2022, there were consistently more boys than girls among the unaccompanied minors applying for asylum in Denmark. Especially in 2015 and 2016, when a high number of refugees arrived in Europe, there were far more boys than girls among the unaccompanied minors. In 2022, 324 unaccompanied boys and only 34 unaccompanied girls applied for asylum in Denmark. That year, the largest number of the unaccompanied minors came from Afghanistan.
