PROTECTION OF CHILD RIGHTS V/S PROTECTION OF CHILDREN : A REALITY CHECK

Shikha Trivedi

Abstract


Philosophy of life says “live & let be live”, the morality says “live for others”, Heart says Live for Happiness  but in the most of practical cases “reality” says live to face the struggle of life, for the survival of own existence. In India where approximately 60,000 children missing or being abandoned each year, we can say that ‘reality’ is spreading its wings with increasing faces of struggle towards childhood.  we have read & heard many more quotations and old saying about the children like “children are the future of a country” but in our own country where we celebrate the “children’s day” and we have the II biggest ratio of increasing population, there is a dilemma about the status of child, are they growing safely, in safe environment of sophisticated society? Are they safe in unsafe atmosphere of so called developed scenario?
