Volume one details out the role of parents, media and society regarding child abuse. There is analysis of other kinds of domestic violence as well. Prevention of child marriage, drug abuse prevention, various therapies for the victims of child abuse also form part of this volume. Volume two deals with the child rights and violation thereof.
