Considering the concept of double vulnerability of the refugee child, this article intends to shed light over the conditions in these refugee children are inserted into educational institutions through the eyes of their mothers. We seek to relate interviews with five refugee women from the Democratic Republic of Congo who had children enrolled in public schools in 2019 with legal apparatuses that regulate education in Brazil, specifically in matters of documentation for access to educational institutions.
