 On the International Day of the Girl Childs, let's recall the difficulties and the situation of vulnerability that girls may encounter when they're migrates or when their family migrates and the specific protection they need. But we need also to recognize their agency, their aspiration, and we need to empower them throughout the migration process. Yes, better understanding the challenges and the opportunities that migration can bring for girls is the new focus of our research reports, which we have just published and which was initiated by the Australian Ambassador for Women and Girls and supported by the Gender Equality Branch of the Australian Departments of Foreign Affairs and Trades. The report is entitled, Supporting Brighter Futures, Young Women and Girls and Labor Migration in Southeast Asia and the Pacific, and is written by leading academic experts who explore and critically examine the existing evidence based on key aspects of the topic. With more than 18 million female migrants under 20 years of age in 2019 worldwide, we see the science of the topic and the fact that the question of labor migration and migration more broadly and its impact on young women and girls is not only an issue for Southeast Asia and the Pacific. For instance, we have published last year a paper in the Migration Research Series on this specific question in the context of the Horn of Africa and more specifically with regard to Ethiopian young women migrants migrating to the Middle East. So given the salience of the topic worldwide, we just hope we'd be able to replicate this research project to other regions in order to support brighter futures for young women and girls around the world.
