Description
In a vivid exploration of the lives of child runaways in India, this work delves into the complex interplay of societal issues and personal stories. Through thorough research and compelling narratives, it paints an intimate portrait of the challenges faced by these vulnerable children, who embark on journeys of survival against the backdrop of a rapidly changing society.
The author highlights not only the individual experiences of these young runaways but also the broader sociopolitical dynamics that influence their circumstances. Their plight serves as a reflection of systemic inequalities and the urgent need for social change. This examination offers readers a deep, empathetic understanding of the factors that drive children away from home and the struggles they face on the streets, ultimately shedding light on a pressing humanitarian issue that demands attention and action.
