Voices from the street

Louise Meincke offers expert consultation on bridging the policy-practice gaps in promoting and protecting the rights of children living or working on the street. This complex issue involves illiteracy, distrust, drug use, and the need to make a living. NGOs like Action for Children in Conflict, Chetna and Hope for Children, Juconi Ecuador, Maestri de Strada, Moroccan Children's Trust, and Retrak play a crucial role. Targeting street-connected children, especially girls and boys aged under 10, 10-14, 14-18, and 18+, this consultation employs methods such as maps, drawings, role-playing, group discussions, and photography to address the challenges.
