ABSTRACT
Children's rights as Individuals begin while they remain in the fetus. Since Children are considered the future of India, laws and legislation must protect them. The Declaration of Rights of Child, 1924, was the first law about children's rights. It was ratified by the League of Nations' fifth assembly. Child protection laws are necessary to be implemented to protect them from various challenges like Abuse, exploitation, and trafficking. This research paper critically analyses the importance of child protection laws in India. It also focuses on examining the legal framework that governs the child protection laws in India. The laws related to children primarily focus on the child's care, protection, education, and well-being. The socio-cultural elements of child protection practices in India, such as poverty, inequality in access to healthcare and education, and traditional norms, are also examined in this investigation. A multifaceted strategy including social, economic, and educational initiatives and legislative reforms is needed to address these underlying causes. This paper also aims at effective methods of prevention of violation of children’s rights.
