The study used a qualitative research design based on semi-structured interviews with 15 social work practitioners who had direct field experience with street children. The findings of the study revealed that social work practitioners implemented interventions that addressed the needs of street children while also being culturally sensitive. However, social work practitioners also faced challenges related to the cultural norms and beliefs that shaped the experiences of street children. Social work practitioners had to challenge negative stereotypes about street children, recognise their fundamental rights, and empower them to take control of their lives. This suggests that recognition and judgement are fundamental components in social work interventions for street children, as they can improve the effectiveness of interventions. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
