Abstract

The right to protection that citizens have from the State, to achieve their personal security, is the subject of heated debates regarding its content and scope, as well as the responsibility of the State and its limits. In the case of boys and girls it is more complex given their vulnerability and when we examine those who are on the street we find a total void in which it seems that, like Pilate, government agencies wash their hands and leave these minors completely unprotected. The present research work in its initial stage examines in a qualitative theoretical context the right to security as a human right, since the boarding of homeless children, who are the boys and girls whom we place on the streets and their vulnerability level and a state of risk. We start from the hypothesis that in the current legal context, street children Actually and de jure They are unprotected in terms of their personal safety, facing risks of human trafficking, prostitution and restrictions on their personal freedom. The methodology used is based on legal hermeneutics and epistemology, the analytical and comparative method. The main information collection techniques used are the review of specialized literature, legislation, jurisprudence and data analysis. With all of the above, in this first phase the verification of the hypothesis is achieved.
