This is an explorative study undertaken in central and south part of the Mumbai with the objective of investigating socio-economic, demographic and cultural characteristics of street adolescents in Mumbai.
This study examined patterns of prejudice along exclusionary and inclusionary practices involving young men living on the street within the area studied. This longitudinal and ethnographic study stretches over a decade and the same group of boys originally inhabiting one specific neighbourhood (Barra) in their transitions into adulthood. The research included participant observation, narrative interviews with young street dwellers, and semi-structured interviews with middle class residents, businesses, and police officers.
This is a 15 month qualitative study involving semi-structured interviews with families and boys at three stages: preparing for return, in the first three months of reintegration and successfully reintegrated.
Retrak has released a literature review on independent living programmes in an effort to understand the needs of young people coming of age on the streets.
This report looks at the adaptation of Retrak’s Family Reintegration Standard Operating Procedures in the context of children in temporary youth detention institutions, known as remand homes, in Uganda.
This study sought to inform improvements in service delivery of Retrak’s Independent Living programme by listening to and documenting the voices of participants.
This literature review explores current international and selected national policy on independent living arrangements and examines the evidence of good practice from existing independent living programmes for care leavers in order to assess how both of the above can be applied to street-connected children.
This study was conducted to understand the lived experiences of street children and adolescents.
Retrak has published new Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) on street outreach, which is the beginning of its relationship building with children on the streets and the start of them finding a way back to family care.
