UNDERSTANDING STREET CHILDREN

Street Children are just children, but traumatised, chronically neglected, physically and mentally abused and exploited children. They can be helped and given a future away from the street.

These are not naughty children, criminals, nor dangerous individuals. Many Street children do exhibit behavioural problems, aggression and substance abuse issues, but these are coping mechanisms of children who are in a great deal of psychological pain because Street Children are traumatised, children, abandoned, orphaned, chronically neglected, physically, sexually and mentally abused children, children who are exploited by others to beg, for commercial exploitation and other things.

Every street child we know always wants to be back with his family, it’s just that they can’t because of the family situation or because being vulnerable they are being exploited and used by others.

Legally In Need Of Care And Protection

The Children’s act defines any child living, working or begging on the street as a child in need of care and protection. Beyond the law, protection and care for children is not for a few but something we all can do. We can all contribute and make a difference.
