Civil protection measures for homeless children from violence
Keywords:
(Legal protection, homeless children, violence).Abstract
The legal protection of homeless children is considered a form of social justice, as its primary aim is to protect human existence. It is also regarded as an acquired right that no longer requires justification, after being established by divine religions, which emphasized the importance of preserving human dignity and rights. This right has been recognized by all laws. Therefore, legal protection, whether constitutional, criminal, or civil, has become a "point of reference" in law, based on the principles of punishment and compensation. It also represents a fundamental element in any legal system that seeks to respect human rights and dignity and to compensate for all forms of harm individuals may face. Despite the state's commitment in Iraq to protect and care for children in general, and homeless children in particular, through legislation aimed at safeguarding and caring for them, violations of the rights and dignity of this vulnerable group continue. This is in the context of rising rates of violence, poverty, family breakdown, and drug abuse. This requires a reevaluation of those laws, identifying weaknesses, and working on establishing legal and procedural mechanisms to address this issue, which has taken a dangerous turn in our society. This is especially true as criminal groups have turned these children into easy tools for carrying out their criminal activities.
