street youth

Street youth are young people, typically teenagers or young adults, who live or spend a significant amount of time on the streets rather than at home or in stable accommodation. They may be homeless or lack consistent support from family or caregivers. Often, they face challenges such as poverty, lack of access to education or healthcare, and risk of exploitation or violence. Their circumstances can result from various factors like family issues, poverty, or social exclusion. Supporting street youth involves providing services such as shelter, education, mental health care, and opportunities for safe, stable living.
