Marking the recent 21st Day of the African Child, the Consortium for Street Children (CSC), welcomed the choice of this year’s theme ‘All together for urgent actions in favour of street children’. In honor of this focus, the Consortium released a joint statement to the African Committee on the Rights and Welfare of the Child. The consortium noted it is vital that urgent action is taken to build on recent successes so that street children are not confined to the margins of relevant policy discussions again. CSC notes the urgent need for multi-stakeholder engagement and the responsibility of African governments to uphold the rights of street children.
