Street children or street urchins are homelesschildren who live on the street – in particular, those that are not taken care of by parents or other adults. Street children live in abandoned buildings, containers, automobiles, parks, or on the street itself.
A great deal has been written defining street children. The problemis that there are no precise categories but rather a continuum rangingfrom children who spend some time in the streets but basically live athome to those who live entirely in the streets and have no adultsupervision or care.
A widely accepted set of definitions, commonly attributed to UNICEF, defines street children into two main categories:
1. Children on the street are those engaged in some kind of economic activity ranging from begging to vending. Most go home at the end of the day and contribute their earnings to their family. They may be attending schooland retain a sense of belonging to a family. Because of the economicfragility of the family, these children may eventually opt for apermanent life on the streets.
2. Children of the street actually live on the street (or outside ofa normal family environment). Family ties may exist but are tenuous andare maintained only casually or occasionally.[1]
Estimates vary but one often-cited figure is that the number ofchildren living independently in the streets totals between 100 millionand 150 million worldwide, and it is forecasted that - by 2020 – thenumber will increase to 800 million.[2]
Street children exist in many major cities, especially in developing countries, and may be the subject of abuse, neglect, exploitation, or even in extreme cases murder by "clean up squads" hired by local businesses.[3]
In Latin America, a common cause is abandonment by poor families unable to feed all their children. In Africa, an increasingly common cause is AIDS.
TUEKEY
urkey is one of the world’s fastest-growing economies, but thebenefits are not shared by all. Although there is no guarantee ofadmission, Turkey’s candidacy for entry to the European Union has ledto legal reforms, including the toughening of sentences for “honourkillings”: murders of women thought to have shamed their families.Security problems in the south of the country hamper delivery of basicservices.
Issues facing children in Turkey
Rural populations lag behind urban dwellers in almost every social and economic index, from mortality rates to school enrolment.
Hundreds of thousands of girls are out of school. In rural areas, a lack of schools and classrooms means that some teachers have more than 100 students per class.
Child labour remains widespread, as does child marriage.
The official number of HIV/AIDS cases is 1,800, but the actual number is believed to be considerably higher.
Immunization rates for childhood diseases are in need of improvement. Low demand for vaccines by parents is one reason.
Activities and results for children
The government’s ongoing efforts to improve prenatal care, increase educational opportunities for girls and promote breastfeeding have had profound effects on infant and under-five mortality rates. Infant mortality dropped to 33 per 1,000 by 2003. The number of women who breastfeed exclusively has doubled over the past five years.
More than 100 hospitals have been certified as “Baby Friendly,” accounting for 70 per cent of hospital births. These facilities promote breastfeeding and meet other standards that give infants a healthier start in life.
In a joint venture with Procter & Gamble, UNICEF has helped to educate 250,000 mothers about better parenting.
Turkey has been polio-free since 1998. All schoolchildren are vaccinated against measles. Some 64 per cent of households consume iodized salt.
A Girls’ Education Campaign has led to the enrolment of 74,500 additional girls in primary schools. Some 52,800 additional boys were also enrolled.
The minimum marriage age for girls was raised from 15 to 17.
A new civil code gives women equal rights with men, though most women still face discrimination.
A juvenile justice system is in its infancy. Judges are learning about child-sensitive detention centres, alternative dispute resolution and due process for children in conflict with the law.

STREET CILDERN Street Children - Community Children Worldwide Resource Library FRANKLIN Photo of Franklin (Tegucigalpa, Honduras) by B. Hayskar The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them; that is the essence of inhumanity. --From The Devil's Disciple by George Bernard Shaw The United Nations has been attributed as estimating the population of street children worldwide at 150 million, with the number rising daily. These young people are more appropriately known as community children, as they are the offspring of our communal world. Ranging in age from three to eighteen, about 40 percent of those are homeless--as a percentage of world population, unprecendented in the history of civilization. The other 60 percent work on the streets to support their families. They are unable to attend school and are considered to live in "especially difficult circumstances." Increasingly, these children are the defenseless victims of brutal violence, sexual exploitation, abject neglect, chemical addiction, and human rights violations. This collection of readings is provided for those concerned about protecting and improving the lives of the world's street children-- our community children--and helping them to their full human potential.

STREET CILDERN WORD Street Children in Russia In Russia, street children usually find a home in abandoned sewage systems during the harsh winter. These underground homes offer space, shelter and most importantly of all, heat. Russia has up to 4 million street children, and one crime in four involves underage youths. Officially, the number of children without supervision is more than 700 000. However, experts believe the real figure has long been between 2 and 4 million.[4] [edit] Street children in India Two street children in Chennai, India Two street children in Chennai, India The Republic of India is the seventh largest and second most populous country in the world. With acceleration in economic growth, India has become one of the fastest growing developing countries. This has created a rift between poor and rich; 22 per cent of the population lives below the income poverty line. Due to unemployment, increasing rural-urban migration, attraction of city life and a lack of political will India now has one largest number of child laborers in the world. Street children are subject to malnutrition, hunger, health problems, substance abuse, theft, CSE, harassment by the city police and railway authorities, as well as physical and sexual abuse. Though Government of India has taken some corrective measures and declared child labor as illegal. [edit] Street Children in Bucharest, Romania The Council of Europe estimates that there are approximately 1000 street children in Bucharest, Romania, though estimates range from several hundred to 10,000. These children are homeless as a result of the policies of former Communist ruler Nicolae Ceauşescu, who forbade contraception in the hopes of ruling a populous nation, or of his successors, who consider the economy of greater importance than social welfare. Many of these children are abandoned or run away from home because their parents are too poor to feed them. Some Romanian street children are preyed on by sex tourists, mainly from western Europe, and many can be seen inhaling aurolac (a paint thinner) from plastic bags, the substance of choice for those of limited means. [edit] Street children in Brazil This article or section may contain inappropriate or misinterpreted citations which do not verify the text. Please help improve this article by checking for inaccuracies. This article has been tagged since December 2006. (help, talk, get involved!) Estimates on the numbers of Brazilian street children vary from 200,000 to 8 million. In one recent survey in São Paulo, 609 children were found to be sleeping on the streets. At least 50 were under 12 and unaccompanied by adult relations. The main means of surviving on Brazil's streets are: finding food in rubbish bins or on refuse tips; being financially exploited by street sellers or as shoe shiners; stealing; prostitution; drug running. Street children are known to receive beatings from the police or members of the public and also can face imprisonment, malnutrition, disease and AIDS. [edit] Underlying causes Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world with a population of approximately 190 million people. The disparity between the rich and the poor in Brazilian society is one of the largest. The richest 1% of Brazil's population control 50% of its income. The poorest 50% of society live on just 10% of the country's wealth. Street children are an urban problem which has roots in rural poverty, neglect and the enforced, even violent displacement of large numbers of people from the land. This problem is accentuated by the fact that the urban population is becoming younger. In Latin America alone, projections for the year 2020 point to 300 million urban minors, 30% of whom will be extremely poor [Ref: Independent Commission on International Issues]. 78% of the Brazilian population live in cities and towns. The persistent poverty, rapid industrialisation and the burgeoning of urban shanty towns (favelas), generate massive social and economic upheaval. Profound poverty means family disintegration, violence and break-up become more prevalent.
