N2  - A study of female street children using qualitative methodology revealed a family background of poverty, neglect, and violence as key factors in girls taking to the streets. Lack of any form of services, either social or medical, which could provide a safety net around dysfunctioning families was striking. The role of Maternal and Child Health Services in addressing the problem of street children is discussed.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
