POCSO Act: A Gender-Neutral Child Protection Law UPSC
Protection of Children against Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act is inherently gender-neutral by nature, and guarantees the rounded protection of all children irrespective of their sex, and holds all offenders responsible irrespective of their sex. This new legal framework addresses the very realities of child sexual abuse by acknowledging the complexities and dismissing stereotypes, and facilitating equal justice.
