Perspectives on Child
Abuse and Prevention in India: Critical Responses
Concept Note:
Surprisingly, even after the Constitution of
India guarantees the fundamental rights of children in Articles 14 to 24, child abuse and neglect has become a common
occurrence in India. Though the POCSO Act, 2012, the Juvenile
Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS),
2023 that repeals the Indian Penal Code
(IPC), 1860 safeguard these fundamental rights, child abuse and neglect still
persists in India. So, the aim of this study is to conjunct upon child
abuse, violence and prevention in India and the provisions being envisaged
therein, keeping the child as the central theme of all the rights, policy and
legislative provisions and decisions. Since this study is multidisciplinary in
nature, papers are invited from all possible data and information as available
in the forms of books, media and other sources of learning that deal with child
abuse and prevention in India.
