STREET CHILDREN
According to UNICEF , boys and girls aged under eighteen years ,
for whom the street (including unoccupied dwellings and wastelands )
has become home and their source of livelihood and who are
inadequately protected or supervised are street children .
• India has an estimated one million or more street children in the
cities : New Delhi , Kolkata , Mumbai .
• According to 2011 census , there are over 11 million children who
earn their living off the streets in cities and rural areas .
• It is more common for street children to be male and the average
age is fourteen .
• In spite of acceleration in economic growth , the number of street
children increases every year since , 32 % of the population is
living below in the poverty line .
CAUSES FOR THE PROBLEM OF STREET CHILDREN :
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
FAMILY PROBLEMS
ALCOHOLISM
SEXUAL ABUSE
FAILURE ON THE SIDE OF PARENTS
NATURAL CALAMITIES
CHILDREN AFFECTED WITH MENTAL DISORDER
LOVE AFFAIRS
ILLEGITIMATELY
 Economic conditions : Poverty forces many to leave the homes to
live or make a living on the streets .
 Family problems : Children leave homes due to the ill-treatment of
step-father or step-mother .
 Alcoholism : Father or mother or both of them have the habit of
drinking and quarrelling , children leave home and run
to streets seeking peaceful life .
 Sexual abuse : If members of the family or relatives abuse boys and
girls in the family either sexually or to commit crimes
children escape from them and end up on the streets
in towns and cities .
 Failure on the side of the parents – To send the child to school or
withdraw the child from school to do domestic work or take care of
cattle and sheep to the local landlords to earn income for the family .
 Natural calamities : Those children, who are rendered helpless by the
natural calamities such as earth quakes , tsunami ,volcanic eruption
and those who lost both their parents in accidents end up as street
children .
 Children affected with mental health come to the streets on their
own unconsciously or drives away from the homes .
 LOVE AFFAIRS : Love affairs between girls and boys and severe
objection from the parents due to caste or tribes factor forces
them to run to towns and cities and work and live on streets till
they find a place in a slum .
 ILLEGITIMATELY : Young children of unwedded mothers and
sex workers are taken to far away places and abandoned in
railway situations and bus stands .
REHABILITATION & EDUCATION OF THE STREET CHILDREN :
 The rulings of the judiciary in India to provide free housing for those
who are living in streets , with facilities like , shelter for safe night
stay, toilet and bathrooms , are being implemented by the
corporations and municipalities .
 Street children are to be provided education and vocational training
by admitting them in orphanages and homes run by charitable
organizations . Besides encouraging public to donate liberally ( by
providing tax exemption ) , the central and state governments also
continue to provide grants liberally .
