Encourage kids to report crime at ‘POCSO e-box’

Considering the growing menace of crime against children, Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) e-box, an online complaint box was launched for reporting child sexual abuse. It is a digital platform for children to register a complaint instantly.

It is a National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) initiative to help children report such crimes directly to the commission. The objective of NCPPR is to ensure the protection of child rights in the state. The online complaint management system enables easy reporting and timely action against the offenders under the POCSO Act, 2012. E-Box is very simple to operate and will help to maintain the confidentiality of the complaint.

ABOUT POCSO ACT

Being concerned about such offences against children, the government enacted POCSO Act, 2012 to protect them from offences of sexual assault, sexual harassment and pornography, while safeguarding the interest of the child at every stage of the judicial process, by incorporating child friendly mechanisms for reporting, recording of evidence, investigation and speedy trial of offences through designated Special Courts. Any human being up to the age of 18 years is recognised as a child under the POCSO Act.
In order to spread awareness about POCSO e-box and make every child feel safe, Women and Child Development Department, Madhya Pradesh invites you to share your views on how to make this system more pervasive and beneficial.

Every suggestion will be taken in account and ensure a safer world to live in.
