The bibliometric study aimed to examine the perspective of Children in street situations on injuries and violence. A total of 502 articles published between 2016 and 2025 from the Dimension scientific database were analysed by using VOS Viewer 16.20 software. After undergoing all processes of inclusion and exclusion only 5 publications were included in the review. The analysis aimed at establishing visualization based on publication trends, cooccurrence of keywords, the occurrence of titles from most productive countries, cooccurrence of co-authorship, and the occurrence of institutions with high publications. The results indicate that the social behaviour of Children in street situations results in injury and violence, outbreaks of violence lead female Children in street situations to involved in commercial sex for seeking food and protection, violence and increased disability, mental health and death while it is evidenced that substance use has the strong connection with violence and injury among Children in street situations. Ecological theory guides the study by indicating that all Children in street situations are exposed to violence, but the extent of suffering differs according to the level of exposure, age and peer pleasure. To enhance a violence-free environment for Children in street situations the government and stakeholders should ensure shelter, nutrition and free healthcare for all Children in street situations without discrimination.
