Why are migrants vulnerable?

Migrants, especially those with irregular status like many of the girls mentioned in the story, face increased risks. Without legal documentation or stable housing, they are often less able to report crimes or access support services, making them targets for exploitation. This vulnerability is a significant concern for human rights organisations.
