About POCSO
-
Passed in 2012, POCSO stands for Protection of Children Against Sexual Offenses. It is a landmark legislation for child protection.
-
POCSO puts the burden of proof on the accused, not the child. It is gender neutral and covers a spectrum of criminal sexual offenses. Power dynamics in relationships are also considered.
-
Penetrative sexual assault, inappropriate touching, exhibitionism and showing of pornographic content come under the Act’s purview.
-
POCSO enables child-friendly medical examinations, special district courts, separation from the accused, emergency medical care, care and protection, and compensation.
