Protecting the girl child must become a core priority of digital governance, Chief Justice of India (CJI) Bhushan R Gavai emphasised on Saturday, underlining that safeguarding her today means not only securing her future in classrooms and workplaces but also on every screen she encounters.
Delivering the keynote address at the National Annual Stakeholders Consultation on the theme "Safeguarding the Girl Child: Towards a Safer and Enabling Environment for Her in India," the CJI warned that the threats faced by young girls today extend far beyond physical spaces into the "vast and often unregulated digital world."
