The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act was passed in 2012. The Act was a significant step toward safeguarding the rights and security of children in India, ensuring their protection from sexual abuse, sexual harassment, and pornography. POCSO provides for stringent punishment for offenders, addressing the loopholes in the existing legal framework. The law also recognizes that both boys and girls can be victims of sexual abuse and introduces child-friendly mechanisms for reporting, recording of evidence, and trial of offences.
