April 12th is Day for Street Children: a special day recognising the strength and resilience of millions of street children around the world.

Celebrated globally since 2012, it is an opportunity to recognise their humanity, dignity and defiance in the face of unimaginable hardships. The Consortium for Street Children wants to rally governments and individuals worldwide to work together to ensure their rights are protected no matter who they are and where they live. Join the quest to recognise the potential in every street child. In 2026, the focus is on one of the most urgent challenges facing street-connected children: access to justice, ‘Protect, not Punish‘.
