Abstract

Millions of female children are victims of violence and sexual abuse in India. Sadly many of them are not even aware of the fact that they are sexually abused and for this, the governments have to be more careful when it comes to making a law on the protection of children because when the child got sexually abused then it affects them physically mentally, and emotionally. Sexual abuse to females children in society is not a new concept it is an age-old problem but till now the public is not fully aware of this problem and how to protect children from such crimes. This research paper talks about the problem of sexual offenses against female children and the reasons and laws related to it in India.
