In an emotional and eye-opening podcast episode, critical issues surrounding child welfare, abuse prevention, and legal protection were brought to the forefront. Special guest Umesh Sir, a child rights advocate, offered valuable insights into the Child Welfare Committee (CWC)—its formation, purpose, and the ongoing challenges it faces in safeguarding vulnerable children.
The discussion highlighted the importance of early intervention, especially in severe cases such as child labor, sexual abuse, child trafficking, and child marriage. Despite strict laws, these issues persist, even in urban areas where awareness is assumed to be higher. Umesh Sir emphasized the urgent need for stronger implementation of the P.O.C.S.O. Act (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences), which plays a pivotal role in legally shielding children from exploitation and abuse.
The episode also explored the rising threat of online abuse and how unregulated social media use is impacting children’s mental health and safety. From cyberbullying to online grooming, the digital world presents new dangers that require updated policies and vigilant parenting.
A recurring theme throughout the conversation was the importance of awareness—not just among authorities but within communities. Educators, neighbors, parents, and even peers play crucial roles in identifying and reporting abuse. Only through collective responsibility can real change occur.
This powerful episode serves as a call to action: protecting children is not just the job of a few—it is a duty we all share.
