CHILD SEXUAL OFFENCE AND HUMAN RIGHTS

Abstract

There are sex-related offenses in every culture. Physical and mental health may be severely and irreparably damaged as a result of committing a sexual offense, especially when it involves sexual assault. Increased sexual and reproductive health risks are associated with physical injuries. Its effect on mental health may be just as severe as physical injury's impact on mental health. It is possible for victims of sexual offenses who are sexually assaulted to commit homicide or take their own lives. Human rights violations are both a cause and a result of human trafficking. Any efforts adopted to prevent and eliminate human trafficking must, therefore, put the preservation of all human rights at the forefront. Sexual abuse of children by adults/older people is defined as abuse of a kid by an adult or older person for the purpose of sexual gratification. Despite the adoption of many international legal agreements and increasing national legal and societal concern for the terrible CSA issue, CSA statistics have skyrocketed all across the globe. Indian society's dark side is clearly exposed by CSA—whether it be molestation, incest or rape—and it is unavoidable. No of their gender, socioeconomic class or status, children in India are at danger of sexual assault. As a result of CSA, the victim's life may be filled with horrors that will last a lifetime, reducing the quality of life for the rest of their lives.
