Heading
India is home to almost 19% of the world's children. More than one-third of India’s population, i.e., around 480 million, is below 18 years (NIH - National Institute of Health). Despite constitutional rights for children, the focus has traditionally been need-based in our country rather than rights-based, and the shift toward a rights-based approach is still evolving.
Studies have highlighted that young children aged 5-12 are particularly vulnerable to abuse. With millions of children needing care, India recognizes that educated, healthy, and happy children are its greatest asset. Ensuring their safety is essential for national development.
At Laws Around Us, we are dedicated to safeguarding children’s rights through awareness, training, and legal support. Together, we can build a protective environment where every child thrives. Join us in creating a safer, brighter future for India’s children.
Organizations working with children have a duty to establish robust Child Protection Policies (CPP) to safeguard children’s rights and build a safer society.
At Laws Around Us, we assist organizations in drafting and implementing CPPs, ensuring every child’s safety and well-being.

What is the
Child Protection Policy (CPP)?
Organizations working with children have a duty to establish robust Child Protection Policies (CPP) to safeguard children's rights and build a safer society. At Laws Around Us, we assist organizations in drafting and implementing CPPs, ensuring every child's safety and well-being.

- Protection Of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012
- Pre-Conception And Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PCPNDT) Act, 1994
