This book considers the responses of states to migrant girls who
are separated from family and enter state care systems as
unaccompanied or trafficked young people. The book draws on
research with girls and social work practitioners in the UK to
explore what can happen when separated girls encounter
professionals at borders and within care systems. It considers how
separated girls adapt to different ideas of what it means to be a
girl in destination countries, and how this is affected by their
other intersecting identities. The book identifies how girls can
feel welcomed, but also how young migrants can be seen in excluding
ways. It argues that narratives of the fragile 'refugee child' are
unhelpful ways to understand individual girls. Using theories and
clear language relevant to both academics and practitioners, the
author fills a gap in the research on migrant and trafficked young
women who frequently represent the minority in care systems
globally.
Mass-migration, conflict and poverty are now persistent features of
our globalised world. This reference book for social workers and
service providers offers constructive ideas for practice within an
inter-disciplinary framework. Each chapter speaks to a skill and
knowledge area that is key to this work, bringing together myriad
voices from across disciplines, interspersed with the vital
perspectives of asylum seekers, refugees and migrants themselves.
The book discusses the specific challenges faced when working in
the community, and where people have suffered torture, in the
context of social work practiced from an ethical value-base.
Staying up to date with the latest developments in policy; and
addressing key specific skills needed to work with people affected
by borders, this book is a valuable resource for both practitioners
and students.
