The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 is the primary legal framework for juvenile justice in India. It aims to ensure that children in need of care and protection (CNCP) and children in conflict with law (CCL) are treated in a manner consistent with their human rights.

The Act emphasizes a child-friendly approach in the adjudication and disposition of matters, focusing on rehabilitation and social integration rather than punitive measures.

KOSHISH works extensively within the framework of the JJ Act. We advocate for the strengthening of institutional care, promote family-based alternative care solutions like foster care and sponsorship, and provide critical support to Child Welfare Committees (CWCs) and Juvenile Justice Boards (JJBs) to ensure swift and child-centric resolutions.
