Trafficking of Children In Indonesia

---

This report by the International Labour Organization’s International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC), developed in collaboration with the Department of Social Welfare, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, University of Indonesia, presents an early situational assessment of child trafficking in Indonesia. Prepared under Senior Consultant Irwanto with consultants Fentiny Nugroho and Johanna Debora Imelda, and field teams in Jakarta, Bali, Batam, and Medan, the study maps the emerging patterns of internal and cross-border trafficking of children during the early 2000s. It examines key push factors including poverty, family breakdown, limited access to education, and gender-based discrimination, alongside demand factors driving exploitation in domestic work, plantations, fisheries, and the commercial sex industry. The report documents recruitment tactics used by traffickers and intermediaries, common trafficking routes, and the specific vulnerabilities of boys and girls to different forms of labor and sexual exploitation. It also reviews the capacity of government and civil society at the time to identify victims, provide services, and prosecute perpetrators, highlighting significant legal and institutional gaps prior to Indonesia’s comprehensive anti-trafficking law. As a preliminary description, the document aims to establish a baseline understanding to guide further research, policy development, and program interventions. Intended for ILO constituents, child protection agencies, policymakers, academics, and NGOs, this draft was a foundational reference for strengthening Indonesia’s national response to child trafficking and eliminating the worst forms of child labor.
