The Bombay High Court on Thursday said that merely giving compensation to rape survivors is not enough and efforts should be made by Maharashtra government to frame a policy for the welfare of children born to them as they too are victims.
The bench had called the Principal Secretary of Women and Child Welfare Ministry today to know whether there existed a policy for welfare of children of rape victims.
Two days back, the same bench had also asked the government whether it proposes to increase the monetary compensation under the Manodhairya scheme for the victims of rape and other crimes against women.
Apart from the monetary compensation, the government also provides counselling to the victims and vocational or educational training, if required.
