Are migrant girls invisible, or ignored?
All children in the UK have a right to education, including migrant and refugee girls. But many of these girls face obstacle after obstacle in their attempts to access the education they deserve. More than invisible, these girls are often ignored, falling through the cracks between local authorities, schools, and government policy.
Unable to go to school, these girls are at greater risk of experiencing depression, exploitation, and even violence. They may later struggle to find a job, and are less likely to thrive in the UK.
