The act has captured wide attention when a POCSO case has occurred. The act seems to be more and more stringent and relating to an offence of high gravity. The original act was enacted in 2012. Later it was amended in 2019 as the POCSO Amendment Act 2019. In a short span of 7 years of time what would be the considerable changes brought in the act. In UPSC and other competitive exam preparation perspective, the POCSO Amendment act of 2019 is very much important and notes are inevitable for the preparation. Let us check out important notes regarding the POCSO Amendment Act 2019.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.sng.link\/Bcofz\/yv45\/8wer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Register in to get the latest SSC Exam Study Materials, PDFs, Video Lessons, Mock Tests!

The act is specific penal law which try to give special attention towards the children from the sexual offences against them. Normally the sexual offences has been criminalised through the Indian Penal Code through the chapter of offences again the human body. When we try to implement these laws in case of children it will cause the following difficulties:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The children cannot be compared to that of an adult to give testimony and cooperate with the legal procedures.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most of the time they cannot differentiate the sexual assault and atrocities against them.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Their future should be guaranteed and they should not be victimised<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The crime should have a great gravity of consideration before the law<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Speedy trial and stringent mode of conviction should be given as a deterrent measure.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Special courts for speedy disposal should be established<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Considering all these factors, a special penal law to protect the interest of the children is needed. To protect them from sexual offences the act called Protection of Children from Sexual Offences has been enacted in 2012. The act has been brought to considerable change in 2019 by the POCSO Amendment Act 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.sng.link\/Bcofz\/yv45\/8wer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25522250\" src=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Current-Affairs1.png\" alt=\"POCSO Amendment Act 2019 [UPSC Notes PDF]\" width=\"970\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Current-Affairs1.png 970w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Current-Affairs1-300x77.png 300w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Current-Affairs1-768x198.png 768w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Current-Affairs1-750x193.png 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Significance_of_POCSO_Amendment_Act_2019\"><\/span><strong>Significance of POCSO Amendment Act 2019<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The POCSO Amendment Act of 2019 has been enacted with considerable changes.

The aggravated penetrative sexual assault means when a police officer, a member of the armed forces, or a public servant commits penetrative sexual assault on a child.\u00a0 It also covers cases where the offender is a relative of the child, or if the assault injures the sexual organs of the child or the child becomes pregnant, among others.\u00a0 The Bill adds two more grounds to the definition of aggravated penetrative sexual assault.\u00a0 These include: (i) assault resulting in death of a child, and (ii) assault committed during a natural calamity, or in any similar situations of violence.\u00a0 Currently, the punishment for aggravated penetrative sexual assault is imprisonment between 10 years to life, and a fine.\u00a0 The Bill increases the minimum punishment from ten years to 20 years, and the maximum punishment to death penalty. The normal penetrative sexual assault punishment has also been increased to imprisonment between 20 years to life, with a fine.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.sng.link\/Bcofz\/yv45\/8wer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25522250\" src=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Current-Affairs1.png\" alt=\"POCSO Amendment Act 2019 [UPSC Notes PDF]\" width=\"970\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Current-Affairs1.png 970w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Current-Affairs1-300x77.png 300w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Current-Affairs1-768x198.png 768w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Current-Affairs1-750x193.png 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Aggravated Sexual Assault<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Under the Act, \u201csexual assault\u201d includes actions where a person touches the vagina, penis, anus or breast of a child with sexual intent without penetration.\u00a0 \u201cAggravated sexual assault\u201d includes cases where the offender is a relative of the child, or if the assault injures the sexual organs of the child, among others.\u00a0 The Bill adds two more offences to the definition of aggravated sexual assault.\u00a0 These include: (i) assault committed during a natural calamity, and (ii) administrating or help in administering any hormone or any chemical substance, to a child for the purpose of attaining early sexual maturity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.sng.link\/Bcofz\/yv45\/8wer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25522250\" src=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Current-Affairs1.png\" alt=\"POCSO Amendment Act 2019 [UPSC Notes PDF]\" width=\"970\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Current-Affairs1.png 970w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Current-Affairs1-300x77.png 300w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Current-Affairs1-768x198.png 768w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Current-Affairs1-750x193.png 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Understanding the provisions of POCSO act is not just enough to mitigate the offences against the children. We need to equip our children with sexual knowledge also. They should be equipped to know which is good touch and bad touch. To know the rights and safeguards of a child is an important factor in safeguarding those rights. In most of the POCSO cases due to the failure of the child to distinguish the act of the offender causes him to escape from the penal liability. So it&#8217;s important to teach our children about the offences and make them equipped to say a NO. For every competitive exam aspirant, the amendment changes are a pool of resources to study as it is some favourite area of the question preparators.
