Dear friends and colleagues
We have again updated the digital library http://www.childtrafficking.com and the update includes six documents dealing with children in street situations. Ensing, Anna. (2010). A Triple Burden: Young, Poor and Female Working Girls in the Homes and Streets of Dhaka. 110 p. “The working girls live with three disadvantages, or burdens: they are poor, female, and young. The three factors intensify each other and determine the girls’ position and rights in society. The discussion on agency presents the ways in which the working girls show independence and decision making within the context of being a poor
young girl in Bangladesh, limited as they are by their economic and cultural surroundings.” http://www.childtrafficking.com/Docs/ensing_10_burden_0311.pdf Consortium for Street Children and Plan. (2011). Still on the Street – Still Short of Rights: Analysis of Policy and Programmes Related to Street involved Children. 44 p. “This report, commissioned by Plan International, and supported by Consortium for Street Children (CSC) through collaboration and information, and written by GCPS, provides an analysis of the situation of street involved children, how their issues are currently addressed within legislative and policy frameworks, and highlights programmatic initiatives being implemented by International and local NGOs. Its aim is to inform and
provide suggestions for improved practice by NGOs working with street involved children.” http://www.childtrafficking.com/Docs/csc_11_the_streets_0311.pdf Strehl,Talinay. (2010). Street-Working and Street-Living Children in Peru: Conditions and Current Interventions. 143 p. “One of the central objectives of this IREWOC research therefore was to reveal the faces and voices of street children and analyse their various backgrounds, relations to the streets and their perceptions of their situation. The research results were expected to give relevant insights into the various reasons why children are in the streets, the activities in which the children engage and how they generate income and the consequences that the
children experience from their working/living/being in the streets.” http://www.childtrafficking.com/Docs/strehl_10_street_child_peru_0311.pdf Murtaza, Amir and Rana Asif Habib. (2010). Silent Shrieks: A Situational Analysis of Violence against Street Children in Karachi. 65 p. “Violence against street children in Karachi manifests itself in a number of forms. However, the exact scope of the problem is not known as it has been only in the last few years that the prevalence of deliberate physical and mental violence to street children by parents, peers, police and others has begun to be acknowledged however not documented. The purpose of this situational analysis is to document the patterns and magnitude
of violence against street children in Karachi and provide groundwork for further researches.” http://www.childtrafficking.com/Docs/murtaza__habib_10_shrieks_0311.pdf Terre des hommes Foundation. (2010).Children in Street Situations. 37 p. This is a sectoral policy of Terre des hommes (Tdh) Foundation for children in street situations. Tdh recognises that children in street situations, as a result of their life experiences and independence, need specific strategies to reintegrate them socially. To this end, such strategies must respond to their need for affection, protection, care and education and must be appropriate to the realities that they have experienced and come to accept. http://www.childtrafficking.com/Docs/tdh_10_child_situations_0311.pdf Terre des hommes and Save the Children in Albania.(2010). Observation Report: Exploitation of Albanian Children in Street Situation in Kosovo. 16 p. "The aim of this Albania- Kosovo transnational collaboration was to collect and analyse information on the cross-border movement of these children from one country to the other in order to get an overview of their numbers, attempt to identify the patterns and trends in their movement between the two countries, better understand their modes of recruitment and exploitation and offer recommendations accordingly on how to protect these children on the move in line with the principle of a child’s best interests. This observation
research process was also envisioned to serve as a rapid needs assessment tool in order to understand and identify some of the immediate challenges faced by these children." http://www.childtrafficking.com/Docs/tdh_10_kosova_original_0311.pdf
