Place: Kota Date: Shahina Parveen Preface The present study is a sociological study of the Street Children’s which casts light on Scenario and Status of the street children across the country and also discusses the strategies contrived for the welfare and rehabilitation of street children in the country as well as in the state of Rajasthan. The study explores the various aspects and exposes the harsh realities of the daily life of the street children in four major cities of Rajasthan- Jaipur, Ajmer, Kota and Jodhpur. The problem of street children is becoming more serious because of their increasing number day by day and violation of Child Rights by the society at large, in order to fulfill their vested interests. The GOs & NGOs are making all efforts to check the problem and extending their helping hand to the children in difficult circumstances, through various schemes and outreach programmes. So this study expatiate “strategies” that is being adopted by the GOs and NGOs in this respect during a last couple of years. The first chapter of the study deals with introduction and back ground of the problem comprising meaning and definition, category, characteristics, factors, problems, concerned issues and scenario in numbers and status. Second Chapter is an attempt to understand the critical and phenomenal nature of the street children through reviewing available literature. Secondary data available in libraries and online portals were extensively reviewed and eye- opening observations were done to make this research more elaborative and relevant. Literature has been reviewed under two categories as following: • Workshop & Conference Reports • Reference books Third chapter introduces the methodology used for this study and how it has guided data collection and analysis process. It explains the research objectives and a suitable methodology to achieve those objectives. The objectives of this study were to identify and explore the different aspects of the life of street children in Rajasthan. The chapter describes data collection phases for this study, comprising of pilot study, in-depth interviews and Focused Group Discussions (FGDs). Chapter four tries to discuss the phenomenon of the street children in context of daily life, stories and narratives about the hardship of the life on streets, source of livelihood, problems faced by children and characteristics through fact findings and data analysis. The Chapter presents a real scenario of the plight of street children in four districts of Rajasthan. Chapter Five provides detailed information about interventions, laws and enforcements, policies in the country and Rajasthan. Chapter Six deals with the evaluation of policies, programmes and schemes related with child welfare. In this chapter, strengths and weaknesses of the official policies has been laid down. Since this is a problem that is confronting the entire society, chapter examines the lacunas and bottlenecks within the system. Chapter Seven discusses the role of Civil Societies and NGOs, different stake holders like police, Railway Department, Health Department, and Education Department. Last but not the least Chapter Eight presents findings & conclusions along with both long term and short term solutions of the problem. The present study reveals the harsh realities of street life and plight of street children in Rajasthan. Moreover it establishes the need of district wise study to understand the phenomena of street children in Rajasthan. Children are the future of the nation and are building blocks. They need safe, secure, child friendly environment regardless their ethnicity. The issues of children are very sensitive and needs a sensitive approach and child friendly approach to deal with. Family strengthening & preservation approach should be integrate in all policies and programmes to protect their right to family. Hopefully the study will be an eye opening to understand the phenomena of street children in Rajasthan.

My special thanks to all the children whom I met in Jaipur, Jodhpur, Kota and Ajmer. They gave me their invaluable time and shared tales of their homelessness candidly.

  • Risky Sex, Addictions, and Communicable Diseases in India: Implications for Health, Development, and Security
    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

  • 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.
