Drawing on interviews and focus group discussions with 26 participants aged between 10 and 17, the paper describes sexual reproductive health problems, health-seeking behaviour, access to and utilisation of sexual reproductive health services among children living on the street in Harare. An intersectionality approach showed how participants’ social location, age and gender created vulnerabilities leading to STIs, maternal complications and sexual violence among others. Additionally, these factors contributed to challenges in accessing sexual reproductive health services among children living on the street. Thus there is need for tailor-made interventions to influence better health outcomes among children living on the street.

通过对 26 名年龄在 10 至 17 岁之间的参与者的访谈和焦点小组讨论，该论文描述了哈拉雷街头流浪儿童的性生殖健康问题、寻求健康的行为、获得和利用性生殖健康服务的情况。交叉性方法显示了参与者的社会位置、年龄和性别如何造成导致性传播感染、孕产并发症和性暴力等的脆弱性。此外，这些因素也给流浪儿童获得性生殖健康服务带来了挑战。因此，需要量身定制的干预措施来改善流浪儿童的健康状况。
