And child abuse is a serious problem, and experts estimate the number of abused children grow significantly worse are forms of physical violence and psychological affects of this Slukithm in the future, after a young man in the building and then caused the family is incorrect, and the suffering caused by the issue of domestic violence on children is the issue of a double addition to the suffering of the children themselves are social ills that result from abuse, if we take certain cases of adult detainees and persons who engage in violence or sexually abuse children, they are those who have been subjected to abuse and neglect in childhood is therefore the result of a double violence unprecedented violence and deliberate Bahsaiip show that the assault on children 70% of the attacks committed by White men and 50% to 70% of the men who attack women abusing their children so that the phenomenon of domestic violence against children has become a strange phenomenon and global in recent years and this increase is due to shortcomings in the process of education the importance of childhood and how to deal with it on a scientific basis in addition to family disintegration and the implications of negative and destructive effects of war on the realities of family and childhood.

Through the International Year of the Child in 1979 and proclaimed by the General Assembly so as to encourage all States to review ..... For improving the well-being of children and up to the Declaration on the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989 and ratified by most countries of the world and entry into force since that date ...

Interest, which was absent or excluded - for more than forty years - came to take his humanity and believe in that «the lives of human beings not only in the full light of human rights» and the development of communities will not be a true, complete and safe only if they take all their classes, and such a child .

Thieves, and there is another faction of the Solar Empire is "Deaconess" or displaced children, the sun in the streets and tunnels and streams of Khartoum.

It is where the name "Deaconess" to those children to save those of special capabilities to withstand the sun ... Roam the streets in total disregard of the inherent summer climates the majority of Sudan General .. And living on food waste, theft, pickpocketing and the remnants of "dumped" waste .. Sleep amid the market and abandoned buildings .. Including young children and the young girls .. "Itlhvon the wind against the wind.

However, despite the state of drought and misery of this p
henomenon, consistent with most of these "Deaconess" one voice that they "Mpsootoon these situations!"!.

In Sudan, about 60 thousand displaced children, according to government statistics, while the quasi-government reports indicate that the number of displaced children in Sudan, more than 80 thousand displaced children, but according to a survey conducted by UNICEF for maternal and child care to an estimated 36,930 are the number of homeless children in all the cities of the Sudan except for the southern states, home to Khartoum, including at least 14,329 children.

The implications of the phenomenon are many and serious as the statistics indicated that the educational system to keep about 45% of school-age children outside the walls of their schools and to 18% for non-continuing education to secondary school for economic reasons or secretions in the war known as the "dropout" and these statistics paint a bleak picture to put the child in the Sudan, and ringing the bells of danger which threatens the soul of the community.

Despite the intense activity of the voluntary organizations of national and
foreign to address the phenomenon .. With the growing phenomenon investigator of the causes of economic and security ... This area is in dire need to work hard and long, however, overlooks the failure and the red-tape and Diwaniya, arise to hinder the work of these organizations not to start a surrender.

"Riyadh", broke into the nests and the presence of "Deac
oness" within the empire from within the city of Khartoum, including her, and suffered what was the greatest secret about the state and the future of street children in Sudan.

According to a group of these "Deaconess" who they are living Altakinahm waste places of the sale of food markets in Khartoum different and often this is done secretly, without engaging in altercations with the owners of these stores and when it is beyond the remnants of food from the food aimed at the drums of "waste."

Answer one of them does not exceed the age of 10 years in response to a question from where I came? It was the center of the city of Sennar, Sudan .. Continues, "I left school not to have loved at all .. do not want to return to the" ...

He answered all of the school, ask about the Deaconess of them expressed his happiness in this life, displaced and did not want to enter the school .. !!


While speaking on the last 15 years: I do not know wher
e I came from and where I was born .. I found myself only in this market and I remember members of my family .. I am in the sewer with a friend.

Combines many of these children, "Deaconess" excessive love "of Indian cinema" and the heroes of Hindi films as well as all agreed that their visit to the doctor for their street and to live.

However, this fact conceals beneath a very miserable, organized a high-precision, a leader in it, Barkan their official language, and a de facto social organization, to end marriages.

The leader is one of those "Deaconess," the oldest and most powerful structure ..

street children in Morocco

Become the phenomenon of street children in Morocco phenomena of concern to civil society in Morocco Tnamea and in particular to the increase in the number of street children of Morocco major cities daily.
Often, not without a Moroccan city of the children in a deplorable state. Find them in the parkin
g .. Restaurants near .. On the sidewalks .. In the garden .. Do not have a shelter and the homeless, they make some places, abandoned gardens and a place to stay, Muftrchin Mmelthvin land and sky.

Most - unfortunately - drift, Viaton smoking and alcohol but also drugs, and it has evolved to a crime in a number of cases.
And no one can reproach them for, and directly, they are the victims before they were anything else, the victims of societal and economic factors Trahmanm and did not have the op
tion to have the opportunity to face a difficulty of their circumstances.

The causes of the phenomenon:
1 - Divorce: Divorce can be regarded as one of the main reasons for the exacerbation of th
e phenomenon, that the separation of parents before the children of displacement and loss of necessity, and enough to know that 90% of street children have fathers and mothers, either father or mother. They are not for the foundling.

These children, we can divide them into three types:

- Am
ong the street children live and the home.
- Children working the streets, and most of them earn good.
- Children
are exposed to exploitation by the ugly street, either through their employment in difficult circumstances, or through physical abuse.

2 - Poverty: the Morocco of the most Arab countries, which are intensive migration from villages to cities, which resulted in wide disparities in living standards between the families, the families forced
Poor - because of the inadequacy of taxi father for example - to pay their children to work the street.
Abdel-Salam said the child, 13 years: "if they are not prepared fo
r the House at the end of the day at $ 30 dirhams ($ 3), the father Siqtlni beaten, so I can not refer to the House after receiving this amount as I have to work in several occupations in a single day" .

3 - Family problems: Children are sensitive Btabahm, and all the tension that occurs within the home negatively affects the child psychologically fragile the street and see a good haven for the suffering.
Karim, 16 ye
ars: "The best street House, there is always conflict in the home for big brother and my father, with the first theft of baggage, which makes my father threw him out of the house and there is always a hassle them"

4 - drop out of school: the children of the streets are all the children have not completed their education for one reason or another, as leisure time becomes longer and narrower outlook, Vindmon to a convoy of displacement.

Results:
-It would be
fair to say, without warning, the results of this phenomenon are the results of a serious and very serious indeed, and have a big impact on society as a whole and especially this portion, which is supposed to represent future generations.

And the results can be summarized as follows:

- Deviation: The exit of a ten-year street, for example, will inevitably lead to
the deviation, especially to the absence of a deterrent, it would not survive, therefore addiction cigarettes and alcohol and drugs, despite the small age.

Murad said the child, 12 years: "Give me the money I feed, and stop off on the smell of the drug" ... And an adequate one to Murad to realize the suffering of any living Buthaiabh tattered clothes and his face full of scars, which was a realistic response when we asked him to stop the abuse of that drug, which was between his hands.

- Disease: The status of these children in all the cities of Morocco are similar, they all sleep in the streets, where they are vulnerable to any climatic fluctuations of the sever
e cold, or heat or wind storm, resulting in various diseases is tuberculosis and cancer Boolha not last.

- Crime: we do not expect - of course - from a child to understand right from wrong, and is d
eprived of education and deprived of food and clothing. Thus, the street children turn to theft and robbery at passers-by various means.

- Begging: and it is also other means of livelihood for the collection of them, Vtgdam in traffic signals and parking and close to restaurants, begging passersby that they are blocking the subordination with a living.

Physical and sexual exploitation: This is a very serious aspect, there are some Jit networks, whether foreign or even Morocco, the exploitation of these children
either through employment or a pittance of sexual exploitation, and enough to know that the recent arrest of a French resident in Morocco Deficiency of these have been used to abuse children sexually, especially in Casablanca, which includes approximately 5300 homeless children, and it is truly alarming figure

street children in Brazil


Did you know that 86 million children of the world's children living on the streets? This figure stems from the statistics of the United Nations Children's Fund, UNICEF, does not reflect the actual number of victims of this practice? And that the problem of street children is not exclusively the preserve of the States or the world's developing countries of the globe Fmaha is rich or poor on an equal footing.

"Street children" was the focus of a symposium continued over two days, between 26-29 in Lausanne, under the auspices of the Terre Des Hommes "Terre des Hommes", a Swiss non-governmental organization primarily concerned with children's issues. The symposium was attended by experts and regional specialists and staff members of the organization to exchange information and views on the reality of this problem and ways to resolve in ten countries, namely Afghanistan, Albania, Bangladesh, Brazil, Burundi, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Morocco, and Vietnam.

Limited representation of developing countries in this seminar does not mean that the phenomenon outside of the countries of the South. If Brazil was the top of the developing countries in the explosive size of the problem with a number of street children to more than 12 million children, the United States, the first superpower in the world, living on the roads of about 100 thousand children.

Regardless of the location of the country, north or south, the situation of street
children remains one ... The development of the child imposes on the isolation from society and life in conditions of health and nutritional conditions and exposure to exploitation and physical abuse, psychological and sexual abuse.

UNICEF defines the concept of street children, each child under the age of 17
years do not receive support and care for physical, emotional and psychological family. This definition is close to the term "street children" adopted by the organization "Terre des Hommes." The organization would prefer to use this term, says Mr. Laurent de Danwah Delegate Terre des Hommes in Abanngladc, because it combines all the children who live on either side of the road throughout the day or certain hours of it, and thus includes the displaced children or working in the street or forced into prostitution.

Despite the presence of the phenomenon of street chil
dren in the past, has increased in size in some countries are strong in the past decades. This phenomenon, explains John Christophe Gerard representative of the "Terre des Hommes" in Egypt and Palestine, are modern in the country such as Egypt, compared with some other countries known as foot and the entrenchment of the problem in Brazil, or Morocco. But to do so in increasingly worsening.

The difficult economic pressures faced by poor families, especially in rural areas remains one of the most important causes of the problem of street children. Mr. Gerard explains: "Most of the children who find themselves in the streets of Cairo are not the indigenous population ... but coming from Upper Egypt, or from the villages and the countryside to search for alternative sources of income especially with the increasing pressures on their families, either because of the lack of a ground or low prices of agricultural products .... and end up in the streets of Cairo. "

In addition to poverty, Mr. Omar Saadoun, a Moroccan specialist in the field of education participated in the activities of the symposium, the disintegration of the family plays a role in creating the problem: "Some families began to abandon its responsibility in the upbringing of children, because the concern for them is the obsession of the search for a living. .. which led to the creation of crises and family problems to the extent of divorce and disintegration, and hence the displacement of children. "

The solution? The search for a common approach to address the problem of street children was a main theme of the symposium organized b
y the "land of human beings." Mr. Girard explained: "We were able to agree on a standard for employees in the organization to confront the phenomenon. There are four areas in which we can work in the street ... .. in the centers of activity reported by the child ... at shelters and with family .... The we seek to provide health services and nutritional status of children and reuniting them with his collection in order to qualify to be able to rely on itself and find work to provide a decent life ... In general, the way we deal with the problem to be determined in accordance with the needs of the child itself. "

Interestingly, as Mr. Gerard explained that this method in the treatment o
f the phenomenon of street children collide in many cases with the government policies adopted by many countries in their efforts to address the problem. Instead of merely treating the root of such policies to control the results and focus on campaigns to raise children in institutions are not well managed and contributes
