What is Advocacy

Who are minorities? Who are street children? Are they important? Is there merit in understanding them? This chapter tried to address these cardinal issues. It is highly convoluted and intricate to arrive at a precise definition for minorities since, according to Wikipedia, it cannot be only comprehended in terms of demographic sizes within a specific population. It is interesting to note that previous studies revealed several definitions for street children. Although it is complex to offer precise definitions for minorities and street children, it must be acknowledged that there is a nascent body of research and literature. When this non-empirical research was undertaken, there was no tangible evidence to demonstrate a sound understanding of minorities and street children.
