Justice For Every Child
Justice For Every Child is a national campaign which ensures 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 seeks to 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. As of now, we have already intervened in 9,897 cases, and counting.
Our Impact
The Problem
Four children are raped and six children are sexually abused every hour in India. Justice is being denied to the victims due to the inadequacies of India’s justice delivery system.
23.3 per cent of women in the 20-24 age group were child brides. 3 Children are pushed into marriage every day. Child Marriage is Child Rape!
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.
The Justice for Every Child campaign aims to help provide justice to children who are subjected to child exploitation so that every child is safe, free, healthy and educated.
