The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012 is a
landmark legislation that aims to protect children from sexual abuse,

also analyses the challenges and limitations of the Act and suggests some measures
to improve its effectiveness and efficiency. The paper concludes that the POCSO
Act, 2012 is a progressive and comprehensive law that needs to be enforced with
more awareness, sensitivity and coordination among various stakeholders.
