CHINA has launched a one-year campaign that aims to return most street children home, the Ministry of Civil Affairs said yesterday.
The ministry will lead the campaign, which is joined by the ministries of education, public security, finance, health, human resources and social security, and housing and urban-rural development, an MCA statement said.
"We will try our best to identify most street children in cities and send them home by the end of 2012," the statement said.
The ministry also urged provincial governments to set up special offices coordinating the campaign. Several provinces, such as Hebei and Yunnan, have been working on this, the statement said.
Police will step up their efforts to identify and rescue street children who wander near railway stations, major tourist sites, business areas and subway stops, while civil affairs departments will assist investigation and provide shelter for homeless children, the statement said.
Urban communities and neighborhoods are being urged by the ministry to report homeless children to local police.
Police and civil affairs departments will cooperate to ascertain the whereabouts of their parents or guardians.
