CHILD ABUSE IN INDIA: LEGISLATIVE AND JUDICIAL PERSPECTIVE
Downloads
Abstract
The children are the most precious asset as they are the future of the nation. They are very much human beings though weak and immature. Their needs and rights should not be attended merely as a by-product of progress nor are they attended as an end and means of progress. Children are abused every day either physically or mentally or verbally or in the form of sexual harassment or neglected to be a child who constitutes or comes under the purview of child abuse. The abuse of children among Indians has grown rampantly and it has reached 50% as per the survey being conducted by the Ministry of Women and child Movement controlled by the central Government of India. In this article, an attempt has been made to discuss the various legislative enactments pertaining to the protection and welfare of the child along with the role of the judiciary in protection of them.
