Global and transnational child protection concerns, the presence of children on the street and the emergence of the phenomenon of street children in many countries of the world, especially in developing countries including Iran, are among the serious problems of these societies. In this study, the dimensions of violence against street children have been examined considering Iran's international obligations.
