Childhood Betrayed: Child Abuse and Neglect in India

Loveleen Kacker

4.9/5 (20916 ratings)

Description:In India, where even stones and trees are worshipped, children are routinely beaten, neglected, and abused. Daily news is rife with these stories, often perpetrated in the name of discipline or protection. The Nitari case, female foeticide, instances of child marriage, and the sexual abuse of minors - the statistics are frightening. Lakhs of children are robbed of childhood, and India is doing little to remedy that. While the government now acknowledges education and nutrition as essential entitlements of children, there has been little legislation or initiative to safeguard their most fundamental rights. Child protection is still nowhere on the nation's radar. Loveleen Kacker distill several years of research to write this cogent and powerful volume on why child abuse and neglect happen and how they affect children in India. She examines physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, as well as maltreatment, especially of the girl child. Bringing real-life instances and case studies together with Kacker's own work on the rights of children, this is a guide for parents, policy makers, schoolteachers, pediatricians, childcare specialists - indeed, anyone with a stake in the welfare of minors. A timely and much-needed addition to the literature on child rights, Childhood Betrayed is also a call for change - nay, a call to arms.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
