Abstract

As Ukraine transitions to a market economy and undergoes the process of globalization, street children number in the tens of thousands. They are drawn to the streets by various economic, political, and cultural factors such as extreme poverty, adverse life experiences, family deterioration, and orphanhood. Street children in Ukraine are at high risk of HIV infection, police harassment, abuse, violence, and negative mental health outcomes. Efforts thus far have been through legislative, preventative, and rehabilitative endeavors by governmental and non-governmental organizations. This article explores the issue of street children in Ukraine and outlines recommendations for future action and policy.
