Every day, countless underprivileged children around the world are forced to risk their lives by engaging in dangerous stunts on busy roads to earn a meagre livelihood. They can be found on streets in sectors across Noida. These children, often deprived of education and proper care, find themselves pushed into this perilous world out of sheer desperation. With no safety nets or protective gear, they navigate through speeding vehicles, performing acrobatics or begging for alms, hoping to earn a few coins to sustain themselves and their families.
Their plight is a stark reminder of the harsh realities faced by millions living in poverty. Despite the inherent risks and the constant threat of injury or worse, these children have little choice but to continue their perilous routines, trapped in a cycle of exploitation and vulnerability.
Addressing the root causes of this phenomenon requires concerted efforts from governments, NGOs, and society as a whole. Access to education, social welfare programs, and economic opportunities are essential in providing these children with safer alternatives and breaking the cycle of poverty that forces them onto the streets. Only through collective action and compassion can we ensure that every child has the chance to grow up in safety and dignity, free from the need to risk their lives for survival.
