Crimes against children not hidden, criminals are punished: NCPCR on 96% rise in child rape cases

The Hindu  

Noting that crimes against children are not hidden and criminals are punished, the apex child rights body NCPCR on January 29 said a robust mechanism has been developed to tackle such offences. The NCPCR's response came following a report of NGO CRY that said child rape cases soared by 96% from 2016 to 2022 as improved public awareness led to a higher number of reported cases of sexual offenses against children. "By implementing the Juvenile Justice Act 2015, the central government has provided necessary resources to the states for its implementation so that as per the provisions of the Act, Child Welfare Police Officer is appointed in every police station and a Special Child Police Unit is appointed in every district whose work is to look after the children," Mr. Kanoongo said. Tagging a media report on the findings, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh in a post on 'X' in Hindi said, "Even children of the country are not safe in the 'anyay kaal ' of the Modi government.
