Abstract

If today we ponder about the word 'œprotection', women and children comes into picture immediately. Though women and children are believed to be the most delicate and pampered ones their rights are being encroached every day and protection of them comes naturally to balance the human rights scale. Despite the legal rights beings granted to them through various Government policies and Acts of the country and international covenants, exploitation against them is endemic. Women and children are being targeted in many ways such as domestic violence, trafficking, prostitution, rape, pornography, child marriage, child labor, child sexual abuse etc. The word '˜exploitation' basically means the action or fact of treating someone unfairly in order to benefit from their work. The Constitution of India prohibits discrimination based on sex but it equally empowers the government to undertake special measures for women. Though the position of women has improved in last four decades ,but still they are struggling to maintain their dignity and freedom. Due to patriarchal society , Indian women and children are facing the toughest time mentally and physically ,mainly due to increase in the exploitation of their rights ,lack of awareness of legal and constitutional rights they have provided.
