The number of street children in Bangladesh is increasing day by day. There are many street children on the streets of Dhaka. Those who have no parents, no home, no place to stay. There is no one to feed them. They don't even know when and where to eat at three o'clock. Most street children do not know where to stay at night. Most of the street children in Bangladesh are involved in various crimes. At the urge of the stomach, they risk all criminal activities for very little money. 85% street children of the country are drug addicts. 99% street children are illiterate.
According to the Ministry of Social Welfare, there are currently only two drop-in centers and one emergency night shelter for street children under the social protection and family reunification project in the capital Dhaka. However, it is insufficient compared to the requirement.

Abdullah Al Mamun, director of child protection and child rights governance at Save the Children, said: 'Street children have every risk a child can be exposed to. Especially from their place of rights, from their place of deprivation, we think that all children at risk are street children. First of all a child has right to shelter, right to safety, right to food, right to education All these are applicable to street children They are not getting any rights to it There is a risk of physical and sexual abuse on the streets There is economic oppression on them and more than that, children are being inducted into drugs and various types of criminal activities. As a result, street children are in a dire situation.
It is important to work with street children. I really want to work with them to change their situation.
