‘I have to call them’

This is the story of a young girl who grew up in Moldova with parents working abroad, and is complementary to the scholarly articles discussing children’s situations in this special issue. Her story is invaluable at a time when children’s participation – really listening to their voices – is increasingly in demand in the social sciences. Reading this story, we understand the ‘vulnerability’ of the children in this special issue, but we are especially struck by the ‘agency’ they show.
