Conclusion

Laws protecting children from social media risks, child labor, pornography, trafficking, and abuse are essential in safeguarding their rights and well-being. While national laws like India’s POCSO Act and Child Labour Laws are critical, global cooperation and continuous legal adaptations are key to addressing the evolving nature of child exploitation in the digital age. Enforcement of these laws is vital for creating a safer environment for children worldwide.
