Women and Child Development Minister Maneka Sanjay Gandhi today launched Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses, POCSO e-box, in New Delhi. POCSO e-box is a platform where a child victim of sexual abuse can report such cases online. <br/><br/>It is initiative of National Commission for Protection of Child Rights, for Direct online Reporting of Child Sexual Abuse. <br/><br/>Speaking on the occasion, Mrs Gandhi said that the idea of an e-Box came out of a police initiative in which physical complaint boxes were placed in schools. <br/><br/>The e-Box will make it possible to implement it on a large scale throughout the country. She said, a large number of incidents of abuse are against close relatives and so they get pushed under the carpet. The Minister said, E-Box is very simple to operate and will help to maintain the confidentiality of the complaint.<br/><br/>The e-Box is incorporated prominently in the home page of National Commission for Protection of Child Rights website www.ncpcr.gov.in, where a user has to simply push a button named POSCO e-Box.
