The entire country is pigeonholed into a rape country. India is a country fighting to cease gender inequality since long back as most of the men do not know how to deal with their masculinity so protection of women is necessary but along with that equalizing their status with the male gender is important as well. This particular paper draws attention to the Juvenile Justice Act where a juvenile rapes the victim and still able to walk out of the court freely. The paper has tried to become a voice for the millions of victims waiting for justice. The highlighting part of the paper talks about the history and evolution of the Juvenile Justice Act in India. Moreover, it is talking about the reason behind the rising of rape cases, how a teenager gets involved in all of this and how most of the cases are not even reported. The conclusive part analyses the need for a revised Juvenile Justice Act and no matter what every offender should be punished for committing such heinous crimes that not only affect the life of the victim but leave an imprint on her mind for a lifetime period. The sufferings and struggle of the victim and her family can never be put into words so justice has to be delivered hand to hand irrespective of the offender's age. Keywords: Juvenile Justice Act, Offender, Rape, Victim, Teenager. '1BA LLB, FOURTH YEAR, KIIT UNIVERSITY, BHUBANESWAR.
