Supporting working children

Context:
Many working children spend long hours on city streets with no amenities to meet their basic needs. The right to an adequate standard of living, in such cases, must be assumed to extend to the public domain. Toilet facilities, water for washing and drinking and places where children can rest without fear of being turned away, are features of urban public space essential to the realization of a basic right.
