Abstract

While children’s rights are human rights, the need to focus on the child and the rights of the child specially, and more specifically, has been recognised the world over. In today’s circumstances, growing violence against children, lack of spaces and platforms for children to seek justice, inadequate infrastructure to cater to their needs, the whole perception of children as extensions of parents and their treatment as parent’s property are some of the critical child protection issues that call for utmost and immediate attention.
