Abstract


ABSTRACT
The present article deals with crimes against children, specifically sexual abuse of children, especially young women. It examines how well-functioning the current legal systems are, as well as the contributions made by NGOs, law enforcement, and child welfare organisations to the investigation and prosecution of these crimes, by contrasting the legislation in India and highlighting the need for comprehensive strategies encompassing prevention, protection, prosecution, and rehabilitation. This study aims to improve the safe environment for children by emphasising the need for complete solutions that include prevention, protection, prosecution, and rehabilitation. Policy suggestions aim to lower the frequency of child sexual offences and protect victims by strengthening legal remedies, raising public awareness, and promoting education.
Keywords: Sexual Abuse, Children, Legal System, India, Prove
