To address this, the <strong>Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012<\/strong> was enacted, providing a comprehensive legal framework against child sexual abuse, harassment, and exploitation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Recently, the <strong>Karnataka High Court reaffirmed that the POCSO Act is \u201cgender neutral\u201d<\/strong>, meaning it applies to both boys and girls below 18 years of age. This ruling has reignited discussions on <strong>child rights, gender justice, and social awareness<\/strong>.
