Nightmare In Border Areas: A Study On Child Trafficking In Indonesia For Labour Exploitation

---

This book, a research result of Rifka Annisa Research & Training Center, compiled by Hartian Silawati, Ekandari S., Eriza, Syafirah H., and Andi S., and edited by Frans van Dijk and Wahyuningrum from Terre des Hommes Netherlands, is a field study on child trafficking for labor exploitation in Indonesia's border regions. The cover, featuring a child's face with a blank stare behind the title "Nightmare in Border Areas," emphasizes that border areas are a "nightmare" for children vulnerable to recruitment and transfer for forced labor. The contents map the modus operandi of child trafficking in border regions, such as recruitment through brokers, the lure of work in the plantation, fisheries, and household sectors, and even organized begging in Malaysia and neighboring countries. This study reveals driving factors such as poverty, low access to education, weak border controls, identity fraud, and the involvement of syndicate networks that exploit geographical and administrative gaps. The book also analyzes the physical and psychological impacts on child victims, obstacles to cross-border law enforcement, and the lack of child-friendly recovery services. With a child rights approach, this publication encourages strengthening protection policies in border areas, bilateral cooperation, and the involvement of communities and village officials for early prevention. Aimed at policymakers, law enforcement, child protection organizations, and social workers, Nightmare in Border Areas serves as an essential reference for understanding and addressing child trafficking for labor exploitation specific to Indonesia's border zones.
