Who are the children and youth who live in the streets of the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil? What are their doubts, dreams, and survival strategies? What lead them to the streets and what are the motivations for them to get out? These are some of the questions raised by this book. This extensive research project was carried out by CIESPI with the support of Terre des hommes organization. The English version of the book was published with the support of the Institut International des Droits de L´Enfant (IDE), Sweden.
