Street
child is a term for a child
experiencing homelessness and who primarily resides in the
streets of a city. The term has largely been used in reference to children who
live entirely in public spaces, without adult supervision or care. Street
children are often subject to abuse,
neglect,
exploitation,
or, in extreme cases, murder
by "clean-up squads" that have been hired by local
businesses or police.
Causes
The
causes of this phenomenon are varied, but are often related to domestic,
economic, or social disruption; including, but not limited to, poverty,
breakdown of homes and/or families, political unrest, or acculturation. Several reasons why children end up on the streets are
caused by cultural instances. For example, some children in parts of Congo and Uganda are made to leave their family
because they are suspected to be witches bringing bad luck upon their family.
In Afghanistan, young girls who perform "honor crimes" like
adultery (which may include rape or sexual abuse) or refusing an arranged marriage.
