1/ 🌟 Day 4: Kushmanda – Creation and Protection 🌟
On this day of Navratri, we celebrate *Kushmanda*, the goddess who radiates the warmth of creation and sustains the universe with her smile. Just as she brings light and life, it is our responsibility to protect the lives of our children, the future of our world.

2/ Our children, like the light of Kushmanda, are precious and vulnerable. They need our care and protection. The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 exists to ensure that every child in need is provided safety, shelter, and a future filled with hope.

3/ What does the law ensure?
✨ Provides care, protection, and rehabilitation for children in conflict with law and those in need of care
✨ Focuses on rehabilitation through counseling, adoption, and foster care
✨ Ensures child-friendly courts and legal processes
✨ Protects children from abuse, exploitation, and neglect


4/ Like Kushmanda, who nurtures creation, the Juvenile Justice Act is designed to nurture our most vulnerable, offering them second chances and safe environments to grow. No child should be lost to neglect, poverty, or exploitation.

5/ Why is this law critical?
Millions of children in India live in difficult circumstances, whether due to abuse, abandonment, or conflict with the law. This act focuses not on punishment but on giving these children the opportunity to rebuild their lives through support and rehabilitation.

6/ Just as Kushmanda’s light creates and sustains life, the law’s goal is to create safe, nurturing spaces for children. It ensures that children who’ve been wronged by society get the care, love, and opportunities they deserve.

7/ Today, as we honor *Kushmanda’s* role as the creator, let’s renew our commitment to protect the light of every child. The future of our world depends on their safety, well-being, and empowerment. 🌟


8/ Let’s advocate for the rights of children, ensuring they grow up in environments filled with care, not fear. May every child be sheltered by the light of Kushmanda and the protection of the law. 🌟

1/ 🔔 Day 3: Chandraghanta – Courage and Justice 🔔
Today, we invoke Chandraghanta, the goddess who symbolizes courage, power, and justice. She stands tall, ready to confront evil and restore balance. Her fierce determination reminds us of the strength within every woman who faces injustice.

2/ But even in our modern world, women continue to face violence—often in their own homes. Domestic violence is a hidden battle many women fight every day. In India, the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 serves as a shield, offering legal recourse to survivors.

3/ What does this law do?
✨ Provides protection orders to safeguard women
✨ Ensures residence rights—women cannot be forced out of their homes
✨ Offers monetary relief and custody of children
✨ Protects women from physical, emotional, verbal, sexual, and economic abuse


4/ Chandraghanta, the goddess who wields a mighty bell, uses her power to fight injustice. Similarly, this law empowers women to ring the bell of justice and break free from cycles of abuse. No woman should have to live in fear within her own home.

5/ Why is this law important?
Domestic violence is often overlooked or excused as a “private matter.” But violence is violence, whether it happens in public or behind closed doors. This law makes it clear that abuse in any form is unacceptable and gives women the legal tools to fight back.

6/ Chandraghanta’s strength reminds us that every woman has the right to live a life of dignity and safety. The law stands as her weapon, empowering her to seek justice and reclaim her life. It’s time to amplify her voice and ensure that every woman knows her rights. 🔔


7/ As we honor Chandraghanta today, let us also honor the courage of every woman who stands up against domestic violence. May the law continue to provide them with the protection and justice they deserve.

8/ Together, let’s raise awareness, spread knowledge, and ensure no woman ever has to suffer in silence. The power to break free is within her, and the law is there to support her every step of the way. 🔔

🌸 Day 1: Shailputri – Strength in New Beginnings 🌸
Navratri begins by invoking *Shailputri*, the goddess of strength, resilience, and new beginnings. Just as she embarks on her journey with determination, so do millions of women on the path of motherhood.

In this sacred journey, women shouldn’t have to choose between their career and their child. The Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 stands as a pillar of support, ensuring their rights are protected.

The law provides:
✨ 26 weeks of paid maternity leave
✨ Crèche facilities at workplace
✨ Protection from dismissal during maternity leave


Just as Shailputri nurtures the earth, the law nurtures mothers, allowing them to thrive both at home and at work. Every woman deserves the strength and support to balance both worlds.

Today, as we honor Shailputri’s strength, let’s honor every mother juggling work, family, and dreams. May the law continue to empower them on this divine journey. 🌸

मुलांसाठी हानिकारक संदेश रोखण्यासाठी ऑस्ट्रेलियात कायदा :
in in
- ऑस्ट्रेलियात मुलांना लक्ष्य करणाऱ्या ऑनलाइन जाहिरातींना आळा घालण्यासाठी यापुढे फेसबुकसारख्या समाजमाध्यमांना त्यांची सेवा १६ वर्षांखालील मुलांना उपलब्ध करून देण्याआधी या मुलांच्या पालकांची संमती घेणे आवश्यक ठरणार आहे. तशा कायद्याचा मसुदा सोमवारी ऑस्ट्रेलिया सरकारने जाहीर केला. या अटीची पूर्तता न केल्यास संबंधित कंपनीस १० दशलक्ष डॉलरचा दंड ठोठावण्याची तरतूद प्रस्तावित करण्यात आली आहे.

- या महत्त्वपूर्ण विधेयकामुळे नागरिकांना ऑनलाइन माध्यमांत संरक्षण मिळणार असून व्यक्तिगततेचे कायदे डिजिटल युगाशी सुसंगत केले जात असल्याचे ऑस्ट्रेलिया सरकारच्या निवेदनात म्हटले आहे. ऑस्ट्रेलियात सेवा पुरविणाऱ्या समाजमाध्यम व्यासपीठांना या बंधनकारक संहितेनुसार त्यांच्या वापरकर्त्यांची वयोमानानुसार नोंद ठेवण्यासाठी आवश्यक ती कार्यवाही करावी लागेल.

- अशी नोंद ठेवणे समाजमाध्यम सेवा, डाटा ब्रोकर आणि अन्य मोठय़ा ऑनलाइन व्यासपीठांसाठी अनिवार्य असणार आहे. याशिवाय या सेवा पुरवठादारांना वापरकर्त्या मुलांच्या वैयक्तिक माहितीचा वापर हा मुख्यत: या मुलांच्या हितासाठीच केला जाईल, याची दक्षता घ्यावी लागणार आहे.

- फेसबुकचे उत्पादन व्यवस्थापक फ्रान्सिस ह्युगेन यांनी गेल्या महिन्यात म्हटले होते की, ज्या ज्या वेळी जनहित आणि कंपनीचे हित यापैकी एकाची निवड करण्याची वेळ येईल, त्या वेळी आम्ही कंपनीच्या हिताला प्राधान्य देऊ. त्या पार्श्वभूमीवर कायद्याच्या या मसुद्याकडे पाहिले जात आहे.

बाल विवाह के चलते रोज जान गंवा देती हैं 60 से ज्‍यादा बच्चियां
in # and
बाल विवाह से दुनियाभर में हर दिन 60 से अधिक लड़कियों और दक्षिण एशिया में एक दिन में छह लड़कियों की मौत होती है। अंतरराष्ट्रीय बालिका दिवस पर जारी एक नए विश्लेषण में दावा किया गया है कि बाल विवाह के कारण गर्भधारण और बच्चे को जन्म देने की वजह से हर साल तकरीबन 22,000 लड़कियों की मौत हो रही है। ‘सेव द चिल्ड्रन’ की इस रिपोर्ट में कहा गया है कि दक्षिण एशिया में हर साल बाल विवाह से संबंधित 2,000 मौत होती हैं। इसके बाद पूर्वी एशिया और प्रशांत क्षेत्र में 650 और लातिन अमेरिका तथा कैरेबियाई देशों में हर साल 560 मौत होती हैं।

2030 एक 1 करोड़ बच्चियों की शादी की आशंका

रिपोर्ट क अनुसार, ‘‘हालांकि, पिछले 25 वर्षों में दुनियाभर में करीब आठ करोड़ बाल विवाहों को रोका गया लेकिन कोविड-19 महामारी से पहले ही इसमें प्रगति रुक गयी और महामारी से असमानताएं और ज्यादा गहरी हुई है जिससे बाल विवाह बढ़ते हैं। स्कूलों के बंद होने, स्वास्थ्य सेवाओं पर दबाव बढ़ने तथा और परिवारों के गरीबी की ओर बढ़ने के कारण महिलाओं और लड़कियों पर लॉकडाउन के दौरान हिंसा का खतरा बढ़ा। 2030 तक एक करोड़ और बालिकाओं की शादी होने की आशंका है यानी कि और लड़कियों की मौत होने का खतरा है।’’

फैसलों में लड़कियों की भूमिका हो: एक्‍सपर्ट
‘सेव द चिल्ड्रन इंटरनेशनल’ के मुख्य कार्यकारी अधिकारी इंगर एशिंग ने कहा कि बाल विवाह लड़कियों के खिलाफ यौन और लैंगिक हिंसा का सबसे खराब और जानलेवा रूप है। हर साल लाखों लड़कियों को ऐसे पुरुषों से शादी करने के लिए मजबूर किया जाता है जो उनसे उम्र में कहीं अधिक बड़े होते हैं जिससे उनके सीखने, बचपन जीने और कई मामलों में जीवित रहने का अवसर छिन जाता है।’’ उन्होंने कहा, ‘‘बच्चे को जन्म देना किशोरियों के लिए पहले नंबर का हत्यारा है क्योंकि उनकी कम उम्र बच्चे को जन्म देने के लिए तैयार नहीं होती। बच्चियों के बच्चे पैदा करने के स्वास्थ्य खतरों को नजरअंदाज नहीं किया जा सकता। सरकार को बालिकाओं को प्राथमिकता देनी चाहिए और यह सुनिश्चित करना चाहिए कि वे बाल विवाह और समय से पूर्व बच्चे को जन्म देने से होने वाली मौतों से बची रहें। यह तभी हो सकता है जब लड़कियों को प्रभावित करने वाले फैसलों में उनकी भूमिका हो।’’
