RIGHT TO EDUCATE STREET CHILDREN
Right to Education
Street Children are obviously not educated. Because of this, they don’t have the same opportunities as other children. In fact, because they don’t see a future for themselves, and because they have no professional training, they are hindered from finding a job and from finally leaving the streets.
Right to Non-discrimination
“People speak badly of us,
they blame us for everything, and call us wad-bi or drogue-gnoudba.”
Seen as marginals, street youth are often victims of discrimination. Generally, adults have prejudices that stigmatise them as “street children”. Consequently, they are often associated with the dangers of the streets. It is often difficult for these children to reintegrate into society.
What can be done to help street children?
The problem of street children is dependant on their situation and not on their status. In fact, each child has a personal history with the street that cannot be generalised. Because of this, the care of street children must, to be effective, hinge on the different situations on the streets, in other words, on the many “child profiles”. It is important to analyse the relationship a child has with the street.
In order to better understand children living and growing up on the streets, it is essential both to make them participate, and to put them in contact with key institutions or individuals looking to understand the structural causes of their situation.
