Sexual Offences against Children in India

An Analysis

Abstract

Child Sexual offences are defined as a sexual activity in which a child is involved. The consent of the child does not matter. The study examines child sexual abuse, the factors responsible for the same, the types of this offence, the effects of sexual activity on children, and the laws dealing with this problem at national and international levels. A large amount of social and economic cost is involved in such offences. There is a need to start a campaign to alert parents and society to take measures for the protection of their children inside as well as outside the house.
