Read the following text and answer the question:
The term 'Street Children' is used to refer to children who live on the streets and are deprived of family care and protection. They live in abandoned buildings, containers, automobiles, parks or on streets itself. A great deal has been written defining street children. The problem is that there are no precise categories but rather a continuum ranging from children who spend some time in the streets but basically live at home to those who live entirely in the streets and have no adult care. The street children live and work amidst trash, animals and open sewers. They are exposed to many diseases and are unlikely to receive any medical treatment as they cannot afford doctors or medicine. Other major problems of street children are abuse, child labour, gender discrimination, homelessness and poverty. How civil society can provide such children with their basic constitutional right to health, freedom from violence and abuse is a big challenge.
