POCSO Act: Protection of Children from Sexual Offences

The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act was introduced in 2012 to safeguard children from sexual abuse, harassment, and pornography. It is a comprehensive law that ensures the legal protection of children below 18 years of age against sexual crimes and provides a framework for child-friendly procedures during trials.

Understanding the POCSO Act

The POCSO Act is a progressive legal framework that covers:

• Child sexual abuse in various forms, including penetrative and non-penetrative assault.
• Sexual harassment of children, including verbal and non-verbal abuse.
• Child pornography, including the use of children for sexual gratification or exploiting their images for illicit purposes.
