The Problem of Street Children in Brazil

The poor world is a complex world, and every society has similarities. In Brazil, poverty is a particularly dark situation that children who are the most vulnerable in society are forced to live on the street, work and live everyday. In many societies, poor children are exposed to street life, but the interesting thing about Brazil is that many citizens change their mindset and regard the street children as creative sea urchins. In most cases they treat them as insect pests that must be thrown away by homicide and blame the victims.

For too many children in Brazil, discussions about economic growth news and 'land of opportunity' have little meaning. UNICEF estimates that as many as 3 million children live and work on the streets of Brazil - they clean up food and beg for beggars. The wealth gained by Brazil's new wealth will take years to flow into the people currently living in extreme poverty. At the same time, Happy Children's International is doing its best to provide food, care and support to forgotten Brazilian victims with the support of Brazilian authorities. We can hardly meet their needs and quantity. There are still many things to do before they share the success of Brazil.

According to the Brazilian charity organization "Bia Children", the number of street children in Brazil is estimated to be 800,000 from 200,000 (it is difficult to obtain an accurate number). Some studies say that nearly half of Latin American children are homeless. There are many reasons for street children to live, such as poverty, abuse, orphans or eviction. These children are malnourished, often subject to abuse medications such as eavesdropping, grappling with glue to escape the fear of their situation, susceptible to sexual assault, education and no medical care, susceptibility to sexual assault. To earn enough food, they need to steal, sell drugs, or prostitute. They are also often targeted for sacrifice and hostility because they are forced to engage in illegal activities to survive. They are in danger of being arrested, beaten or murdered. In Brazil, the street children were murdered by the police "death row team", they believed that the children were infected by the police and helped by the police.

First of all, we need to understand the word "street children". Who are they? UNICEF defines them as "children living on the street, this street is their house" (Fernandes & Vaughn, 2008, p. 670). This definition seems mediocre and simple, but there are still many factors that make up it. Poverty is the key to this problem and contributing the most. In addition, other influences on the street children are unintelligible and constantly being addressed throughout the analysis. For example, the lack of education and employment opportunities is a product of poverty in Brazilian society. The country's richest 20% of the population has more than 65% of the wealth of the country. More than 45 million people live in poverty, 32 million children live in households, earning less than $ 40 a month. "Poverty is one of the reasons children go out to the streets, but where are the differences?
