This thesis analyses Bangladesh's street children's legal rights. Street children at risk violence, exploitation, and lack of food, housing, and healthcare. The thesis studies Bangladesh Children's Act and National Children Policy, which protect street children. The thesis claims that although Bangladesh has made progress in protecting street children's rights, legal loopholes remain. For instance, laws and regulations require better enforcement mechanisms. The thesis also emphasizes worldwide street kid rights protection. Bangladesh may utilize the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child to enhance its legal framework to safeguard children, particularly street children. This thesis states that although street children's rights in Bangladesh have improved, the legislative framework and its execution require reform. The thesis advises that Bangladesh develop its legislative framework and defend street children's rights in accordance with international norms.
