BULLETIN Nº 2 - SHAPING NEW POLICIES FOR CHILDREN IN THE SITUATION OF THE STREETS IN RIO DE JANEIRO AND OTHER CITIES

2009

A project of the International Center for Research and Policy on Childhood (CIESPI) at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio)
Project update
We are pleased to report that the Council on Children’s Rights for the Municipality of Rio de Janeiro2 has formally adopted a new policy on children in the situation of the streets. That policy can be found at the CIESPI web site (www.ciespi.org.br). This marks the first time that a new policy on street children has been adopted through the mechanism of thorough and extensive debate in a municipal Council. CIESPI is pleased to have been able to provide the Rio Council with relevant research data during its deliberations and to have helped to facilitate some of those discussions. October 2009.
