Abstract
The article highlights the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on street children in India. Children living on the streets during lockdown are severely affected by poor access to food and water, lack of employment, increased likelihood of mistreatment, and a reduction in support services that could help them to change their situation. The pandemic also increases violence and early marriages, which will effectively prevent boys and girls from continuing their remedial programs.
