Trafficking of children increasing in Indonesia.

A report by the Indonesian Ministry of Women Empowerment has said that efforts to rescue children from baby trafficking cases have been seriously flawed. The report claims that;
“The baby trafficking cases in Indonesia are not comprehensively handled as human trafficking crimes,”
“The cases in which the (perpetrators) were caught and brought to law were the cases where they were caught red-handed.”
The report also revealed that one woman in South Jakarta had been found to have sold 880 babies, and another group in the same area had sold 80 babies abroad. Again in West Java a man had admitted to selling 300 babies to foreigners.
UNICEF child protection officer Anna-Karin Jatfors said sexual exploitation of children was a “major and growing issue”.
