💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court of India has suggested that the term "child pornography" in the POCSO Act should be replaced with "child sexual exploitative and abuse material". The court also recommended comprehensive sex education, awareness campaigns, and support services for victims and offenders. The court set aside a Madras High Court ruling that stated mere downloading and watching child pornography is not an offence under the POCSO Act and the IT Act.
