The document discusses street children in Pakistan who lack shelter, education, and care. It notes that street children are highly vulnerable to abusive situations like child labor, sexual exploitation, trafficking, and arrest. Some street children engage in petty crime while others join criminal or terrorist gangs. The objectives of the study are to understand the demographics, vulnerability factors, socio-economic activities, and awareness of rights of street children. It provides background that street children in Pakistan number 1-3 million and face poverty, violence, and stigma. While seen as victims, their resilience and coping behaviors should also be considered to help develop interventions.
