No kid desires a life without roofing over their heads and the caring care of a household. The truth is that numerous kids are required to leave their houses, fend for themselves and combat predators every day of their lives on the streets.
Neglect, household dispute, violence, severe hardship, is the situations that have actually pressed more than 18 million kids to the streets of India. These mostly forgotten homeless kids ask, work or scavenge in the battle to make it through. Without documents or evidence of identity, they are frequently missing out on in the main stats.
It is tough to think of the fate of these ‘undetectable kids’ once the COVID-19 pandemic struck and the lockdown followed. They merely vanished from the streets and from our awareness as we dealt with the brand-new truths of an awful pandemic. While we used masks and socially distanced, these kids were packed into night shelters, federal government organizations and some were taken into quarantine centres.
The lives of these overlooked kids were currently difficult however the start of the coronavirus made them even worse. The very first couple of days of the lockdown, the National Child Helpline were jammed with SOS calls from kids requesting for security from abuse and violence caused by grownups.
