    POCSO act 2012

    PPT WORK
    Good afternoon, everyone,I’ll be talking about a landmark case which is Alakh Alokh
    Srivastava V. union of India. The facts of the case are as follows:
     The case was filed in response to rising child sexual abuse incidents in India,
    highlighting delays in investigations and trials under the POCSO Act.
     The petitioner emphasized the need to implement the 2018 amendment for time-
    bound procedures and urged the Supreme Court to ensure swift justice and the
    effective functioning of special courts.
    Issues are as follows:
     Whether delays in investigation and trial under the POCSO Act compromised justice
    for child victims.
     Whether the 2018 amendment to the POCSO Act was being adequately implemented.
     The effectiveness of existing infrastructure and special courts in handling POCSO
    cases.
     The need for immediate measures to address gaps in the legal process and ensure
    justice for children.

    SPEECH (mention the impact on victim’s mind)


    Imagine a society where the children are vulnerable, where their innocence can be shattered
    without any consequence. Now consider the moral responsibility we hold as a community to
    protect our future generations. Have we done enough?
    The POCSO act 2012, was introduced with a noble intent of protecting children from sexual
    exploitation and abuse. Over the years, our legislation has not only brought justice to many
    victims but it has also heightened societal awareness about the gravity of such offenses. It
    must be noted that the effect of such offenses extends far beyond the courtroom. Child
    victims often suffer deep emotional and psychological trauma, which can lead to long term
    issues like anxiety, depression, and shattered trust problems. Their sense of safety is shattered
    leaving scars that can last a lifetime.
    Addressing this issue on a societal level requires a multi-faceted approach.
    First, we must focus on preventive education, teaching children about body safety and
    boundaries from an early age. Communities and schools should be trained to recognize and
    report signs of abuse. Furthermore, we need to provide robust support systems for survivors,
    including counselling and rehabilitation, to help heal them and rebuild their lives. Society as a
    whole bear a moral responsibility to prevent abuse and support survivors. This involves not
    only legal and institutional frameworks like the POCSO Act but also a cultural shift towards
    recognizing the seriousness of these issues.
    The impact on society is profound: when abuse is prevented, and survivors are supported, it
    fosters a culture of accountability, respect, and care, leading to a safer and more just
    community. Ultimately, true progress depends upon our commitment to justice, prevention,
    and healing. Protecting our children requires ongoing vigilance and reflection, not just in law
    but also in our collective responsibility to nurture and support those most vulnerable. This
    impacts society by promoting justice and ensuring that every child’s right to safety and
    dignity is upheld, reflecting a commitment to ethical governance and societal well-being.

    And it was rightly said by Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, Current Chief Justice of India that
    "Legislation like the POCSO Act represents a profound commitment to protecting the most
    innocent and vulnerable members of our society, affirming that their rights and safety are
    paramount."

    In the end I would like to conclude by saying a quote by Nelson Mandela


    "There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its
    children."

    THANK YOU
