CRC/C/ROM/CO/4 page 22 Street children 84. The Committee notes the adoption of an Action Plan, by Order No. 100/2006, for the social reintegration of street children. The Committee, while noting the reported decrease in the number of children living in the streets, is concerned that many street children have to work for their sustenance, the majority do not go to school and lack birth certificates. The Committee is concerned that forced evictions of Roma families with children have been carried out without the provision of alternative lodging or adequate compensation. The Committee notes further that a high number of children go missing, particularly from child protection institutions. 85. The Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Undertake a systematic assessment of the situation of street children in order to obtain an accurate picture of its root causes and magnitude; (b) Develop and implement with the active involvement of street children themselves a comprehensive strategy which should address the root causes, as well as define preventive and protective measures; establishing annual targets for the reduction of their numbers and allocation of appropriate resources; develop appropriate guidelines for implementation of such strategy by public services and NGOs; (c) With the active involvement of children themselves, support family reunification programmes or other alternative care, provided they are in the best interests of the child; (d) Ensure that street children attend school and provide adequate health-care services, shelter and food, bearing in mind the different needs of boys and girls. 86. The Committee recommends that the State party ensure that adequate compensation or alternative housing is provided whenever forced evictions take place, with special attention to young children and their families. The Committee further recommends that the State party strengthen efforts to prevent child separation from their family and improve conditions and attitudes among staff in special protection institutions. Sexual exploitation and abuse 87. The Committee notes that the Criminal Code has been amended to ensure compliance with the Optional Protocol on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography. The Committee further acknowledges the numerous efforts in the area of trafficking, among which the setting up of the National Agency against Traffic of Human Beings in 2006, the adoption of the National Action Plan for the prevention and fight against child trafficking, and of the National Action Plan for the prevention and fighting of sexual abuse and sexual exploitation of children for commercial purposes. However, the Committee is concerned that: (a) The number of sexually exploited children is high, including foreign children trafficked within Romania, and the number of children trafficked from Romania to other European States has increased; (b) Internationally and domestically trafficked girls victims of sexual exploitation are treated differently as they are sometimes seen as criminals;
