关注：乌克兰街头流浪少年生存实录(组图)
乌克兰的街头流浪少年
For thousands of street children in Ukraine, daily life is a fight for survival. Their rights are often violated and normal childhood has often been replaced by drug addiction and violence.
乌克兰的街头流浪少年生存状况堪忧，并且有很多孩子都过早染上毒瘾。
毒瘾的压迫
Inhaling glue or injecting a cocktail of cold and flu medicines are common ways of taking drugs among homeless young people. Sharing needles makes them one of the groups most at risk of contracting HIV in Ukraine.
由于常常共用一个针筒注射毒品，这些流浪少年也成为艾滋病传播的高危群体。
居无定所
The government was publicly committed to the defense of children's rights, but budgetary considerations severely limited its ability to ensure these rights.
由于政府财政问题，这些流浪少年的生活很难得到真正的改善。
缺乏救助
Few government bodies or NGOs aggressively promoted children's rights, except for a small number of faith‑based organizations that primarily worked with orphans and street children.
几乎没有政府部门或者非政府组织会主动关注青少年权益问题，除了一些出于爱心一直救济孤儿和街头流浪少年的团体。
暗无天日的生活
Education is free, universal, and compulsory until the age of 15; however, the public education system continued to suffer from chronic inadequate funding.
免费义务教育是到15岁为止，但是长期资金短缺使得青少年教育无法得到保证。
辍学率居高不下
The problem of growing violence and crime in and outside of schools persisted, particularly in the notoriously violent vocational schools, and discouraged some children from attending school.
校内暴力事件也是导致辍学率升高的主要原因。
暴力问题蔓延
The number of homeless children, usually children who fled poorly maintained orphanages or poor domestic conditions, remained high.
因不堪忍受恶劣的孤儿院和家庭环境而离家出走的儿童数量也一直高居不下。
“幽灵”群体
About 80 per cent are "social orphans" who live on the street because their parents drink, use drugs or abuse them sexually or physically. Officially, many don't even exist. Their parents never registered their births, so the state has no record of them.
80%的流浪儿童是“社会孤儿”，因为他们并非父母双亡，而是不堪忍受家庭暴力。但是更多的孩子出生后并未进行入籍登记，所以官方人口记录中根本就没有这个群体的存在。
困境重重
As many as 200,000 such unaccounted-for children live rough in a country where daytime temperatures can be -20C (-4F). They live in subterranean dens under the manholes that cover the maintenance points for the city’s heating system, where conditions are cramped, insanitary and dangerous – many are burnt by the scalding pipes.
差不多有二十万名无户籍的流浪儿童居住在天气极其恶劣的郊区，在城市供暖系统中心的地下区域，拥挤、肮脏而危险。
街头谋生
There are no foster families in Ukraine because no one can afford another child. Street children are often fleeing from abusive families or became orphans as a result of the AIDS epidemic. They try to survive through begging, washing cars, stealing and becoming prostitutes.
在乌克兰，没有收养孩子的家庭，因为正常家庭根本养不起两个以上的孩子了。他们要么是家庭暴力的牺牲品，要么是艾滋病蔓延的受害者，他们谋生的方式就是乞讨、洗车、偷窃和卖淫。
