French term or phrase:***des travailleurs de rue***
Same essay on prostitution from French (Quebec) to English. The context is the following
À 15 ans, mon ami m’a lâchée, il n’avait plus besoin de moi, il s’en était trouvé une autre et j’étais trop droguée, ça lui coûtait plus cher de m’entretenir que ce que je lui rapportais. Je me suis essayée toute seule dans la rue, et là, j’ai rencontré ***des travailleurs de rue***, gars et filles. Vous savez ceux-là qui se fendent la gueule pour défendre les droits des prostituées contre la maudite société mais qui ne lèvent pas le petit doigt eux-mêmes pour les aider.
I found 2 different meanings for this term in Canada, so you may have to ask the client.

Explanation: YVRP (Philadelphia Youth Violence Reduction Partnership) not only provides participants with increased supervision but also brings them support through access to critical resources such as employment, mentoring, healthcare, and drug treatment. While most probation departments are short on resources and face extremely heavy caseloads, in YVRP STREET WORKERS, smaller caseloads, and police partnerships help bridge the gaps. STREET WORKERS in consultation with probation officers develop mentoring relationships with the participants and connect them with much needed social support, ranging from mental health counseling to employment assistance. STREET WORKERS also help participants’ parents get jobs and find housing and health care, thereby providing participants with more stable family lives. http://guide.helpingamericasyouth.gov/programdetail.cfm?id=6...
In Kenya, Human Rights Watch has worked with NGOs and STREET WORKERS to encourage the establishment of a network for documenting and reporting police abuses against street children, and to improve children's treatment by police http://www.hrw.org/children/street.htm
Germany, like many other countries, employs STREET WORKERS and has youth centres for children living on the street where parents are welcome to visit. Social workers in schools make themselves available to street children, and have founded special groups against violence in some cities.
In France, the municipal police acts to prevent violence against children/youngsters or to prevent peer violence. STREET WORKERS, on the other hand, befriend, counsel and direct street children to educational facilities or youth employment within the programme “politique de la ville” (town policy) which will be in place until 2006. http://www.violencestudy.org/europe-ca/Word/contribution to ...

Héhé, hoist by my own petard! Not as obvious as that, it seems. The question on "pogné" suggests that a "travailleur de rue" is something different, unless in this case it was a crooked "street social worker" (they surely exist).
