Child Protection in India provides an overview of the child protection landscape in India, examining the range of vulnerabilities and risks faced by children and the social, economic and systemic factors that shape their protection and wellbeing. It brings together perspectives on issues such as violence, child labour, discrimination, education, health and access to protection services, while highlighting the importance of strengthening systems and responses for children. The resource situates child protection within the broader framework of children’s rights, constitutional guarantees, laws, policies and government systems, while drawing attention to gaps in implementation, investment and access to services. It offers a useful foundation for understanding why child protection requires coordinated action across families, communities, civil society and government, not only responses after harm has occurred.
