The protection of children from sexual exploitation remains one of Gujarat’s foremost priorities. The state has implemented a series of policies and interventions to safeguard vulnerable children from abuse, including strengthening child protection laws, increasing police training on handling sexual exploitation cases, and raising awareness in schools and communities. Specialized units have been set up to investigate and prosecute those involved in child sexual abuse, and there has been a concerted effort to ensure that perpetrators face severe penalties under Indian law.
In addition to law enforcement efforts, Gujarat has made significant strides in rehabilitating victims of sexual exploitation. The government has established several shelters and recovery programs to help children rebuild their lives. These programs provide not only psychological and emotional support but also educational and vocational training, helping children reintegrate into society. A collaborative approach involving NGOs, local authorities, and child advocacy groups has proven to be vital in tackling this sensitive issue and providing justice for the victims.
