Formed in 1993, the Consortium for Street Children is a network of non-governmental organisations which work with street-living children, street-working children and children at risk of taking to life on the streets. The Consortium’s work is firmly rooted in the standards enshrined in the 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Its efforts are focused on building its member agencies’ capacity to work with street children and on advocacy in the areas of child rights, poverty alleviation and social exclusion.

    Risky Sex, Addictions, and Communicable Diseases in India: Implications for Health, Development, and Security Rajan Gupta Theoretical Division Los Alamos National laboratory, Los Alamos, NM 87545 [email protected] LAUR 02-5305 This monograph was published as Special Report 8 in the Health and Security Series by the Chemical and Biological Arms Control Institute (CBACI), Washington D.C., September 2004. ABSTRACT: This monograph provides a comprehensive and unifying view of a number of health issues confronting India and how, over time, they could impact the stability and security of the nation. New pandemics like HIV/AIDS have confounded attempts at containment because their spread highlights vulnerabilities in social and political norms and behaviors that have historically been ignored. Their spread also exposes a highly inadequate medical and educational infrastructure. To stop the spread of communicable diseases for which risky individual lifestyles and behaviors, societal norms and beliefs, poverty and lack of empowerment, and stigma and discrimination are major factors it is necessary to examine the system as a whole and to develop new paradigms and tools. Sexually transmitted infections and addictions to alcohol and drugs have emerged as a major interconnected global threat. This monograph makes the case that India is highly vulnerable to this threat and major policy changes, an unprecedented cooperation between public and private sector, and an order of magnitude more investment in health and education is needed to prevent a runaway

He recently produced a film, Nanak Shah Fakir, which won acclaim at the international film festivals in Cannes, Toronto and Los Angeles.

Prologue In the semi-darkness of dawn the muezzin called out, ‘Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar . .’ His passionate, full-throated appeal to the Almighty broke the stillness of the new day and slowly Maler Kotla began to stir. As if on cue, the sun gasped through the horizon, flushing the rapidly brightening sky with redness. Yet another day crept into the lives of its residents. Except for one. Standing tall and in full glory, the white marble haveli surrounded by lush green lawns had lost its main occupant in the wee hours. For the villagers, especially the women, it was not a mere structure of stone but a symbol of peace, a shrine which they could visit any time and be heard.

  • Street Children in the Developing World: a Review of Their Condition
    Street Children in the Developing World: A Review of Their Condition Lewis Aptekar San Jose State University The article reviews the literature on street children and points out why there are street children in certain cultures and not in others. The reasons for their existence are related to poverty, abuse, and modernizing factors. Street children are defined and distinguished from working and refugee children. Details about the family structure of street children are given. How the children cope and their level of psychological functioning are discussed. The article gives reasons for why the children are treated with such violence and gives attention to methodological research problems that include the children's ability to distort information, the researcher's proclivity to under- or overestimate the children's emotional condition, distortions of facts created by the press and international organizations, and general cross-cultural research issues. For the last decade, I have been studying children. I view them as both needy and bold, and I have seen them in streets that have increasingly become both theatre and war zone. Observing the children and how people have reacted to them not only has forced me to think about growing up without the security of parental love but has made me contemplate the potential rewards of life without parental restraint. My ambivalent thoughts and feelings are to some extent similar to the way the children are treated by the public. Some people see the children as being worthy of the valor given to heroic survivors, while others afford them the pity due the neglected and abused.

WHO ARE STREET CHILDREN? 3. AT THE MARGINS: DAILY LIFE, ISSUES AND CAUSES 4. STREET CHILDREN ACROSS THE REGION East and Central Asia South Asia Mekong and Southeast Asia The Pacific 5. FRAMEWORKS AND PRINCIPLES FOR PRACTICE 6. METHODS OF IMPLEMENTATION 7. GOVERNMENT AND NON-GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS 8. PRACTICE AND EXAMPLES APPENDICES Terms of Reference Bibliography 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Asia and Pacific Region is home to nearly half the world’s children, including large numbers of street children. This paper provides an introductory snapshot of issues concerning “street children” in this vast and culturally diverse region. Although the term “street children” is neither a precise, nor very useful classification for children “on” or “of” the street, the term does serve as a point of engagement in considering the variety of issues and problems facing far too many vulnerable children in urban centers throughout the Asia and Pacific region. The circumstances and experiences of “street children” overlap with several other categories of children, such as trafficked children, migrant children, and working children. There also is overlap with a range of problems and difficulties confronting too many children, including endemic poverty, domestic and/or sexual abuse and other violence, hazardous working conditions, exploitative labor, substance abuse, conflict with the law and juvenile justice, as well as the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Some street children are highly visible, and the subject of public concern because they are “out of place”.

    Courtesans in Colonial India Representations of British Power through Understandings of Nautch-Girls, Devadasis, Tawa’ifs, and Sex-Work, c. 1750-1883 by Grace E. S. Howard A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Grace E. S. Howard, May, 2019 ABSTRACT COURTESANS IN COLONIAL INDIA REPRESENTATIONS OF BRITISH POWER THROUGH UNDERSTANDINGS OF NAUTCH-GIRLS, DEVADASIS, TAWA’IF, AND SEX-WORK, C. 1750-1883 Grace E. S. Howard Advisors: University of Guelph Dr. Jesse Palsetia Dr. Norman Smith Dr. Kevin James British representations of courtesans, or nautch-girls, is an emerging area of study in relation to the impact of British imperialism on constructions of Indian womanhood. The nautch was a form of dance and entertainment, performed by courtesans, that originated in early Indian civilizations and was connected to various Hindu temples. Nautch performances and courtesans were a feature of early British experiences of India and, therefore, influenced British gendered representations of Indian women. My research explores the shifts in British perceptions of Indian women, and the impact this had on imperial discourses, from the mid-eighteenth through the late nineteenth centuries. Over the course of the colonial period examined in this research, the British increasingly imported their own social values and beliefs into India. British constructions of gender, ethnicity, and class in India altered ideas and ideals concerning appropriate behaviour, sexuality, sexual availability, and sex-specific gender roles in the subcontinent. This thesis explores the production of British lifestyles and imperial culture in India and the ways in which this influenced their representation of courtesans.
