3Lack of infrastructure and funds lead to under reporting of cases. (4) Issues of child pornography and child sexual abuse material CSAM (5) Social awareness lagging due to apathy towards marginalised community. However, there is always a scope of improvement: (1) Strengthening reporting mechanism via awareness. (2) More female police officers for empathy. (3) Special POCSO court for victims. POCSO Act 2012 is a sunshine legislation to prevent exploitation of children.
