The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012 is a comprehensive legislation enacted to safeguard children below the age of 18 from sexual abuse, harassment, and exploitation. The Act ensures a child-friendly legal framework that prioritizes the safety, dignity, and privacy of children, while also emphasizing awareness, prevention, and timely reporting of offences.

In line with its commitment to child protection, CC Orphans’ Trust (CCOT), in collaboration with Oasis India, conducted a series of POCSO awareness sessions across multiple children’s homes. These sessions were facilitated by Ms. Sangeetha S, Child Rights Case Worker, and Mr. Sam, Social Work Intern, who delivered age-appropriate and sensitive guidance on personal safety, understanding boundaries, recognizing unsafe situations, and seeking help from trusted individuals
