Legal Protection for Homeless Children

Abstract

The phenomenon of homelessness, especially (the homelessness of children), is one of the phenomena that afflict all societies, regardless of their economic progress or political stability, so local communities have worked to provide the necessary protection for this group, and this is what the Iraqi legislator did, as his permanent constitution included a number of articles that It worked to provide the necessary protection for the family as the basic cell that preserves children and prevents them from homelessness, in addition to the inclusion in the constitution of a number of articles that provide protection directly for the child in a way that guarantees his distance from this phenomenon, and this is what the international community also noticed, as he also worked to provide The necessary protection for the family and children to prevent their homelessness (especially children).
Through the research, we have found that the protection that was provided to homeless children was not a direct protection, that is, it does not address the phenomenon of homelessness of children in particular, but rather provides protection for children and grants them the rights that they are supposed to enjoy. National and international alike must work to provide direct protection for homeless children, whether through the issuance of relevant laws or through the conclusion of relevant international agreements.
