Document: The study conducted by a non-governmental organisation ‘Butterflies’ describes the lived experiences of street children during COVID-19 in Delhi. It documents the effects of COVID-19 on their household food security, mental health, and schooling. Data was collected over 11 months through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with 56 children. The data revealed that children were affected on a large scale, as families took loans from relatives and friends to buy food. Closure of schools resulted in the interruption of supportive services like mid-day meals, school health care and scholarships for children belonging to the below poverty line category. This pushed large numbers of families into extreme poverty, physical and mental health trauma and a corresponding increase in child labour. © 2021 Tata Institute of Social Sciences.
