Abstract: (100 Views) |
The presence and work of children on the streets is considered one of the major social challenges in Iran. These children face problems such as malnutrition, deprivation or poor quality of education, abuse and harassment, delinquency and other social harms. Periodic plans in the form of organizing street children and current measures of government and non-government centers, such as temporary care centers and limited daily support services, have not had a significant impact on reducing and controlling this problem. Therefore, the need to formulate and implement national and local policies with sensitivity to children's rights is clearly felt. Policy recommendations include empowering families through intersectoral cooperation, allocating sustainable financial resources for preventive and support measures, training professionals to provide effective and standardized services, and developing standard protocols based on laws and upstream documents for effective intervention. These approaches can sustainably manage the problem of children in street situations and prevent them from returning to the street. |
