摘要
The study sought to establish street children's lived experiences and notions of poverty. A sample of 17 street children participated in the study (age range = 9 to 18 years; males = 15, females = 2). An in-depth interview was conduct with each participant. Content analysis was used to analyse the data. The results revealed that street children experienced stigmatisation and humiliation from the general public. They perceived to be abused also by fellow street children, the police and security guards.
