Child Welfare Law in India and Norway : A Comparative Analysis
Child Welfare Law is that the civil law that is meant to deal with abuse and neglect that a child may experience within the family. This abuse covers physical abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect; whereas, sexual abuse within the family is dealt with by the criminal law (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act,2012; in case of India).In a study undertaken by the Ministry of Women and Child Development (2007) called ‘A study of Child Abuse in India’ in 13 states of India, two out of every three children in India reported to have been physically abused while every second child reported being facing emotional abuse. This paper tries to find out if an effective child welfare law exists in India by taking the Norwegian Child Welfare Act, 1992 as the parameter. Scandinavian countries, especially Norway, have effective Child Welfare Laws comprising a convenient reporting mechanism and readily available as well as accessible counseling services
