Close on the heels of the National Crime Record Bureau’s report painting a dismal picture of child protection in the country, Women and Child Development Minister Smriti Irani on Sunday made a passionate appeal for society’s intervention to safeguard every child and said abuse was as much a reality in prosperous homes as in poor ones.
“There is a presumption that abuse is restricted to poverty. But abuse is as much evident in families that are prosperous, powerful organisations and child care institutions,” Irani said. She was speaking at a special child protection awareness workshop the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights is hosting in Rajghat. — TNS
