The term “street children” usually refers to children who live and work on the streets or in public places such as markets. Many of these precious children find themselves in this situation as the result of poverty, war, abuse or other family issues. According to UNICEF, there are an estimated 100 million children living on the streets worldwide. However, the exact number of street children is nearly impossible to come by. These children usually have little to no supervision from adults and out of desperation, many of them are forced to do things like beg and steal in order to survive.
Children who live on the streets are unable to receive an education or proper healthcare. They are incredibly vulnerable yet hard to protect, making them an easy target for exploitation.
According to the World Health Organization, there are three types of street children:
A child “of the streets”- these children have been abandoned by their family or are orphans with no surviving family members. They are solely responsible for their own survival. They have to find shelter and food however they can.A child “on the street”- these children have family and are in regular contact with them. Many of them spend their days on the streets in order to escape abuse or because of overcrowding in their home. In some instances a child “on the street” is responsible for bringing in additional income for the family.A child of a street family – these children live on the streets with their families.
