The first report of its kind to examine the social and economic determinants of internal migration for adolescent girls in developing countries, and to identify the links between migration, risk, and opportunity. The authors explore a wide range of evidence on migrant girls, including findings on programs for girls, and present a bold action agenda for increasing the visibility of migrant girls, reducing their vulnerability, and realizing their full potential.
