The implications, and challenges, of this report's findings for the
education system and literacy NGO's - and government - are clear.
I will be away in Morocco from April 24th until May 25th. Please see

Against the Odds: a profile of marginalized and street involved youth
A new McCreary report, <http://www.mcs.bc.ca/rs_new.htm> Against the Odds:
A profile of marginalized and street-involved youth, in BC summarizes the
results of surveys with marginalized youth in the North, Interior, Fraser
Valley, Vancouver Island and Vancouver. It also serves as a follow-up to
McCreary's 2000 health survey of marginalized and street-involved youth
(street youth) in six communities across BC. It looks at many of the same
issues, considers emerging trends and health challenges and, by comparing
the results with those of the 2000 survey, reflects on what progress has
been made over the past six years.
Key findings include:
* Aboriginal youth were disproportionately represented among street
youth, with sharp increases since 2000. For example, in Vancouver the
percentage rose from 37 to 65% and in Prince Rupert from 76 to 88%.
* Gay lesbian, bisexual and teens were also over-represented: 1 in 3
females and 1 in 10 males identified as gay, lesbian and bisexual.
* One in three youth reported they were working at a legal job.
* 13% of youth were parents, and more than one-third of these parents'
children lived with them.
* 57% of females and 15% of males reported sexual abuse, either in
their family, outside their family, or both. More than 1 in 3 of the youth
reported they had been sexually exploited.
* More than 1 in 4 youth had been exposed to, and used, alcohol or
marijuana before the age of 11, often before becoming street-involved.
* Contrary to findings from 2000, B.C. does not appear to be absorbing
large numbers of youth from outside B.C. 84% of youth in the survey were
from communities across BC.
* Youth in each of the nine communities surveyed identified job
training and shelter as the most needed services.
* 1 in 3 youth still attended school while staying in an abandoned
building, tent, car, squat or on the street.

"This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by
yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish,
selfish clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not
devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs
to the whole community and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it
what I can." G.B. Shaw

"This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose =
recognized by
yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a =
feverish,
selfish clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will =
not
devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life =
belongs to
the whole community and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for =
it what
I can." G.B. Shaw</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
