The term child abuse can be described as the Physical, Emotional, Sexual abuse and Neglect of child. The problem of child abuse in India is not a new phenomenon but the reporting of the abuse is very low. The data shows that the incidences of Rape, Kidnapping & Abduction and Procuration of Minor girl are increasing in a rampant way. There is consistent increase in these phenomenons in India. The main cause behind this problem is the social-cultural system exists in India. In-spite of the various constitutional provisions, the children are not safe and every two out of three are facing abuse in one or more forms. The children are mostly abused by parents and the persons who are supposed to take care of them. The boys and girls both are abused in almost same proportions. The Government of India has passed POCSO Act-2012 to protect the minor children from sexual assault and abuse. Stringent provisions have been made in this act to protect the minor child. Similarly, the Juvenile Justice Act is also amended to protect the rights of child and to save them from victimization. Similarly, the Government of India has started certain programmes e.g. Integrated Child Protection Programme, Integrated Child Development Scheme, Dhanalakshmi, Ujjawal, Sharva Shiksha Abhiyan etc. for the protection and overall development of children.
