International Day for Street Children- How do they live?
HOW DO STREET CHILDREN LIVE?
Reports from those working with street children illustrate the fact that the vast majority of street children (83%) said they stole in order to live. Over a third said they engaged in prostitution and of that third 80% were girls.
The rest claimed that begging, selling sweets or singing on buses gave them enough income to buy food and drugs. (see Tierney, N., 1997, Robbed of Humanity, USA, Pangaea)
