for material to use in a term-paper, you are advised to scan the postings on
this page and others to see which aspect(s) of street life are of particular
interest to you. You might be
interested in exploring how children got there, how they survive, and how some
manage to leave the street. Perhaps
your paper could focus on how some street children abuse the public and how
they are abused by the public … and how they abuse each other. Would you like to write about market
children? homeless children? Sexual and labor exploitation? begging? violence? addiction? hunger? neglect? etc. There is a lot to the subject of Street

notes with appreciation the State party’s efforts to collect,
analyse and disaggregate statistical data on
children. However, the Committee regrets the lack of a central database on
children and notes with concern the insufficient data concerning many areas
covered by the Convention, particularly groups of children in need of special
protection, for example, children affected by violence and abuse, including
sexual abuse, children in alternative care, street children, migrant children
and working children. Summary record of

continuous assessment, and it was hoped that those problems would be
resolved. Reports by States -
