“The child has right to express his or her opinion freely and to have that opinion taken into account in any matter or procedure affecting the child”
article12CRE.

Runaway children in Pakistan experience many forms of violence and exploitation by society and the state. At a great extent we/people are responsible for their rude attitude towards us because whenever we came across these children we just pass away without knowing the difficulties they are facing and whenever they need help we just ignore them.

We can’t even think to place our children in such kind of atmosphere in which runaway children are living, and facing problems. As they are innocent children and need help and support of people like us but we don’t bother to do so thus we have to admit the fact that the behavior of people towards runaway children is not acceptable. Although there is a sympathetically consideration by the society, and NGO’s towards these children but it has also been observed that if negative response has been delivered by the NGOs and society can create a bad impact on the personalities of these kinds of children. Children are sensitive; they need friendly atmosphere, and if we are friendly to them then this will change their attitude towards positive aspect and will show a great change in their aggressive behavior as they only need love, support, and comfort. Media has created awareness among people about this cause. Media provide opportunity to humanizing child and do efforts to protect the rights of child. As well as society has played a vital role for the welfare of these runaway children through NGO and other organization children are able to recognize themselves there is hope of their betterment. “For all form of exploitation, street children were on the most vulnerable group” said by NAZRA JAHAN of SPARC. She added that these children are at high risk of sex related diseases like HIV and AIDS.

It’s a duty of each individual to adopt a measures to strengthen their position and secondly it’s the responsibility of society to take part in the activities like facilitate NGO’S and shake hand with the government to provide the right path for the children who intend to run away. Basically it’s a Government duty to provide good atmosphere to these children in order to remain them in their houses. Government can provide them with the basic rights like food shelter; jobs, education and other co-curricular activities in order to bring changes in their lives.
