ABSTRACT

Child sexual abuse is a major problem since it disrupts a child’s entire growth and development and causes mental anguish for life. The number in the rise of cases under the POCSO act and various other laws to protect children from sexual offences is rapidly rising. It is vital to instill excellent values and ethics in all children via their homes, schools, and even college so that when they grow up, they have very little possibility of becoming criminals. Public awareness campaigns concerning this threat will be carried out in order to raise public understanding of sexual abuse. In order for legislation to succeed, state governments must guarantee that all of the conditions outlined in the law are met. The goal will not be reached until and until people’s attitudes change. This paper addresses the major problems of child sexual abuse in the light of the various cases and rulings of the court. It also focuses on deep-rooted societal norms and judicial stereotypes.
