protecting their rights through judiciary and court of law, in par with other developed countries
in the world arena, with compliance to the guidelines of United Nations (UN) and United
Nations International Emergency Fund (UNICEF) pertinent to Child Protection, Child Care, Child
Safety and Child Rights. It is the need of the hour and bounded duty of the teaching fraternity,

incidence of crimes committed by them that have been reported over the past 5 years. The

against offences like sexual abuse, harassment and pornography. It was formed to provide a
child-friendly system for trail underneath which the perpetrators could be punished. The Act
also defines a child as any person below 18 year of age. It further makes provision for avoiding
the re-victimization of the child at the hands of the judicial system.
