Abstract
Children constitute an example of marginalized section of the society. Providing special safeguard for the human rights of children is one of the basic means of protecting vulnerable children. The aim of this work is to investigate the real problems in realization of socio-economic rights of the child and to forward solutions in this regard. What are the socio-economic conditions of street children in Addis Ababa and the government responses to alleviate these problems? For this purpose, data are collected regarding the conditions, problems faced, health status and educational level of street children and the government response by using observation, interviews and questionnaire for those participants, and concerned organs. The respondents are chosen by using simple random sampling method. Ultimately, analysis of the cases, data and information collected are made with respect to obligations nationally and internationally. Based on this, street children are growing up in poverty and difficult socio-economic conditions without having access to education, health care, adequate food, water and sanitation facilities. The living and working conditions of these children, shelter problem, and lack of access to adequate food, water and sanitation facilities are found to be the major factors that create negative impact on their health and participation in education. This in turn affects their survival and development that is basic rights of the child.
