Justice For Every Child
Justice For Every Child is a national campaign that will ensure victims of child sexual abuse and rape get timely justice and mental health support to enable them to heal and continue their lives with dignity and freedom.
An initiative of Kailash Satyarthi Children’s Foundation, the campaign will intervene in 5,000 cases of child sexual abuse and rape in 100 Fast Track Special Courts (FTSCs) in 100 districts across the country with the highest backlogs of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012 cases across India.
The Problem
Child sexual abuse and rape is an unprecedented national crisis. Three children are raped and five children are sexually assaulted every hour in India
AND
Justice is being denied to the child victims of sexual abuse and rape due to the inadequacies of India’s justice delivery system.
The law mandates that the trial of cases under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act be completed in 1 year and trials in rape cases be completed in 2 months. It requires that child victims be given compensation, mental health and paralegal support to navigate the complex criminal justice system and to continue the fight for justice. However, there is a disconnect between the law and its implementation in cases of child sexual abuse.
If no new cases were added in 2019, it would take an average of 8.2 years for trials to be completed for child sexual abuse and rape cases. (NCRB 2019).
Most cases of child sexual abuse go unreported. Victims are more often than not silenced by the social stigma, lack of support and the fact that the perpetrator might be known to them and the family, preventing a majority of victims from reporting the crime.
Abuse of Children is a blot on Humanity
