India According to Many Studies Has Rising cases of Child sexual Abuse. Yet we seem to have been lacking in Legislation in this area. However In a meeting held in Jan by the National Commission for the Protection of Child Rights to discuss the Prevention of Offenses against Children Bill- 2009, It was felt that sexual offenses against children should be addresses separately. (Certain draft bills maybe found online for reading)
Therefore many consultative processes have begun in order to look and existing laws and recommend changes and draft new legislation where required.Enfold Proactive Health trust was part of one such Consultation. The Whole two day process was one of great learning.
It really is an important step forward as we sorely need legislation to protect our children. And I feel happy that enfold Was part of the process.
