Situation 8 – In a recent study, it is estimated that there are around
240,000 street children living in major urban cities nationwide. Some
50,000 visible street children spend at least four hours or more on the
streets with limited access to basic services. They are highly vulnerable
to various forms of abuse, exploitations and violence. One main concern
of street children families living on the streets is the conduct of “roundup” or “arrest” contrary to what the government authority claims as
“rescue.” In a 2009 study by a non-government organization, “rescue”
operations in Metro Manila cities are carried-out indiscriminately and for
reasons other than child protection. They are undertaken without clear
objectives, resulting to ineffective and irrelevant practice of providing
assistance to street children and their families.
