AWARENESS OF LAWS TO SAFEGUARD CHILD RIGHTS IN SCHOOL CHILDREN

: The child rights are ‘specialised human rights that apply to all human beings below the age of 18’. They take into account the fragility, specificities and age-appropriate requirements of children, and aim to factor in the development of a child. In India and many other nations, Children are defined as people under the age of 18, who need more than just human rights because of a set of unique needs that stem from their vulnerabilities. There are Laws that safeguard the rights. This study focuses on the awareness of laws, RTE Act 2005, POCSO Act 2012, and J J Act 2015 in 500 school children from class 8 to 10. School children from various schools of Chhattisgarh were randomly selected for the study. A questionnaire was made by the author to gather information on the Acts by the school children. Data was analysed using Graphical Representation (Histogram). The results revealed that the school children were more aware of the J J Act than RTE and POCSO Act. The findings show the need for building awareness on Child rights and Laws to protect child rights, in both Government run schools and private schools teaching in English and Hindi. It also shows the need for Training and Sensitisation of Child Rights and Protection and about Laws that safeguard the child rights to be made mandatory in all Educational Institutions.
