\nInternational Day for Street Children is being globally celebrated since 2012, to recognise the humanity, dignity, and defiance of street children in the face of unimaginable hardships, therefore, we want government as well as individuals worldwide to work together and ensure their rights no matter who they are and where they live, There are millions of children in the world whose lives are inextricably connected with public spaces, streets, buildings, and shopping centers, etc.
\nSome of these children either will live on the streets or sleeping in parks, doorways, or bus shelters. remaining may have homes to go back to, but they rely on the streets for survival and sustenance, furthermore, maybe they referred to as \u2018street children street-connected children, homeless children or homeless youth.
\nAlso at times, they may be described in more negative terms such as \u2018beggars juvenile delinquents and \u2018thieves\u2019.
\nLabels that judge a child in this way disguise the fact that these vulnerable children are owed the care, protection, and above all, respect due to all children, speakers added The 4 steps to equality is based on the UN General Comment on Children in Street Situations, breaking it into four actionable steps Commit to Equality, Protect Every Child, Provide Access to Services.
\nCreate Specialised Solutions
\nIn 2021, we concentrate on Step 3: Provide Access to Services. We call on Government to take action so that street children can access the services they need to reach their full potential.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
