New Zealand keeps getting left off the world maps and their tourism ministry, their Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, comic Rhys Darby and the world wide web is all abuzz. One cheeky advertisement is trying to fix that.
Something much worse is happening in India. Children are falling off the map of care and concern. Going by the spate of news of minors being raped/abused in India (some even younger than 8 years), child protection needs to be on the priority map, not just of the state, but the society’s too. Topping up Prevention of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO) with the death penalty is not the only response! Strengthening the implementation of the Integrated Child Protection Scheme (ICPS) could be a better and more apt response.
