The first step towards the safety of children starts with listening to them, and encouraging them to speak up, talk regularly, and tell everything to parents. Here's how to start conversations with your kids on sexual abuse protsahan.co.in/talk-to-kids-a… #CSAchat #EncourageToTalk

That's all for tonight's edition of #EncourageToTalk series. Thank you @PinguicVerse and everyone else who joined us tonight for our weekly Twitter conversation. It's been an eye-opening conversation for all of us with respect to the legal system. #CSAchat #TweetchatTuesday

Most pertinent point. Thanks for highlighting it @PinguicVerse on the #EncourageToTalk #CSAChat

But sadly, in our experience, quite often, police are unaware of provisions of #POCSOAct and are so inhuman with the survivor, they even put sections not applicable in a case. We have to return the file and get it altered, to reflect the right sections. #CSAChat #EncourageToTalk

How will this change come to effect given the current state of affairs? What can be done to ensure that crimes against children do not become mere statistics, nor do they succumb to the gaps in the system? #EncourageToTalk #CSAchat

As stringent as the law may be, the criminal justice procedure has to initiate processes for handling cases of sexual assault that put the child’s emotional needs at the centre of a #POCSO case. #EncourageToTalk #CSATalk

Although low rate of conviction in #POCSO cases & alarmingly long delays in disposing of pending cases have been recognised, it appears that legislation itself is only end of a very murky road that involves cover-ups & an alarming reluctance to disclose issues. #EncourageTotalk

Our final question to you for tonight @PinguicVerse Q5. How well is CRC adapted by Indian justice system while working on POCSO cases? #CSAchat #EncourageToTalk @ArtForCause @elsamariedsilva @sarikabhattach @kirthijayakumar @KiranManral @SwatySMalik @SwatiJaiHind @Mayank1029

Of 56 #POCSO cases (Bengaluru, 2013-2014) 52 ended in acquittal, due to victim hostility. Former chair, Child Welfare Committee Meena Jain, has said on record that "lack of legal aid with a sensitive approach" is a major cause for poor conviction rate. #EncourageToTalk #CSAChat

What Use is the POCSO Law if Families and Schools Won’t Report Child Sexual Abuse? @MinistryWCD data says that 72% of victims never mention or speak about their abuse, reconfirming the devastating reality about child sexual abuse being kept a secret. #encourageToTalk #CSAChat

Q4. Though the state has moved towards increased punitive action in #POCSO, the system is barely in place. India clearly lacks awareness on child-friendly provisions in POCSO Act. What is it that needs to change? #CSAchat #EncourageToTalk @PinguicVerse @ArtForCause

In a study by 'Journal Of Child Sexual Abuse', caregivers have on record identified that they need support with child behavior management and with their own coping post disclosures. #CSAChat #EncourageToTalk

We agree with you on that. In the previous Twitter Conversation, this was the point we'd focused on, that the 3 most important words for a child are - "I Believe You" #EncourageToTalk #CSAchat

I feel you there @PinguicVerse I was labelled as a 'kidnapper' by the 'paedophile accused' in this case, and the entire community believed he was right, because he was a man. Whereas the child, was subjected to being removed from school by her mother. #CSAChat #EncourageToTalk

Q3. There are judges who see only the letter of the law, and there are judges who see the spirit of the law. How would you advise, that POCSO cases be dealt specifically fro the perspective of the child? #CSAchat #EncourageToTalk @PinguicVerse @ArtForCause

Caregivers & Lawyers both, in CSA cases need to relate survivor's trauma narratives with someone they can share without compromising identity, to identify & process powerful emotions, to develop coping skills in presence of support groups that're not mechanical #EncourageToTalk

Interesting you should bring this up, because it relates closely to the next question for tonight. #CSAchat #EncourageToTalk

Do you believe that rationality and emotions need to go hand-in-hand in #CSA cases? And that needs to be discussed from early on during the law school training? #CSAchat #EncourageToTalk @SwatySMalik @SwatiJaiHind @elsamariedsilva

Q2. Empathy and law, life experience and the judge's bench. Are they oil and water, or are they the necessary complements that make for a greater approximation of justice when dealing with CSA cases? #CSAchat #EncourageToTalk @PinguicVerse @ArtForCause @TheRedElephnt

That's indeed a learning for a lot of young people in especially the Human Rights space Priyangee. We've seen & experienced where too much empathy has been a cause of self harm and exploited. We're more prepared for cases now than before. #EncourageToTalk #CSAChat

Q3. There are judges who see only the letter of the law, and there are judges who see the spirit of the law. How would you advise, that POCSO cases be dealt specifically fro the perspective of the child? #CSAchat #EncourageToTalk @PinguicVerse @ArtForCause

While children must be taught how to spot, report, prevent being abused, parents must remain vigilant to ward off threat of abuse to their children. Join @NGOProtsahan in the #EncourageToTalk series a few seconds from now where we discuss the #POCSOAct with @kirthijayakumar

Q4. Though the state has moved towards increased punitive action in #POCSO, the system is barely in place. India clearly lacks awareness on child-friendly provisions in POCSO Act. What is it that needs to change? #CSAchat #EncourageToTalk @PinguicVerse @ArtForCause

This is an example of how conversations can be started by a institutional caregiver for eg. to mindfully handle a potential disclosure with a child survivor and how to communicate with children about their experience of sexual abuse. #EncourageToTalk #CSA #ProtectionOfChildren

Ok, moving on to the next question @ArtForCause: Q3. What guidelines would your recommend to be kept in mind for communicating with children about their experience of sexual abuse? #EncourageToTalk #CSA @msri22 @HAQCRC @thebetterindia @vivalavida_365 @scroll_in
