BEGGING, WANDERING AND OTHER TYPES OF CHILD LABOR EXPLOITATION

Abstract

In the modern world, which is advancing day by day in the form of technology and other material resources that exude we- alth, poverty and the difficult life of children and their families are becoming increasingly pronounced. Difficult life circum- stances and a lack of material and financial resources force an individual to try to survive another day of a gloomy life through the activity of begging. For many children who are involved in the act of begging, the streets are their home, the foot of the bridges, the stations are their lodgings. Such children usually do not have an adult responsible guardian, but are left to their own devices. In contrast to them, with regard to the exposure of children to street life and their involvement in begging, there are also children who have a home and a community to which they return after collecting enough money that day.

The aim of the paper is to show that children who grow up and live on the street face numerous problems and dangers. They are exposed to risks, and their rights that belong to them, or that should belong to them, are significantly threatened.
