The international legal protection of children in street situations[electronic resource] /by Sylvia Agu. - Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :2025. - xviii, 468 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Children's well-being: indicators and research,v. 291879-520X ;. - Children's well-being: indicators and research ;v.6..

Children in Street Situations -- The Development of the International Rights of the Child and the Consideration of Children in Street Situations -- Protection of Children in Street Situations in International Human Rights Treaties -- Protection of Children in Street Situations in Other International Human Rights Documents and Mechanisms -- Assessment of Current Procedural Protections in International Human Rights Instruments -- Further Possibilities to Improve the Protection of Children in Street Situations.

The book conducts a comprehensive analysis of codified international legal instruments and documents in their application to children in street situations, employing soft law documents to elucidate treaty interpretation and supplement existing legal standards. The research adopts a holistic approach, correlating international legal instruments with root causes and consequences for children in street situations, while systematically examining issues of intersectionality, such as economic, social, and cultural rights, civil and political rights, minority rights including disability rights, rights of the girl-child, as well as LGBTQI+ and migrant rights, reparations, impact of violence, and access to essential services like health, food, and housing, with various human rights issues, including economic, social, cultural, and civil-political rights. It presents the plight of children in street situations as a human rights concern, offering guidance on utilising international legal sources in rights claims procedures. The study also integrates sociological and political perspectives with legal and governmental policy issues, examining the influence of external factors such as conditional lending and structural adjustment programmes, wars, and decolonisation on social policies and their consequent impact on children and families by rendering children in street situations 'visible' as a distinct category requiring urgent attention in State policy formulation. By systematically integrating international legal instruments with practical policy considerations and applications concerning children in street situations, this scholarly work serves as a comprehensive legal framework for State governments, their bodies and social workers, and a valuable advocacy guide for interest groups including non-governmental organisations, proposing future directions for policy and research for addressing the rights and needs of children in street situations.
