They should be blocking pornographic and sex sites and appealing to social media users to report such crimes. There exists a sore lack of communication between officials who must prosecute and punish perpetrators and the police who often discover the illicit activity. While the Indonesian government and the police force continue to fail at ending child prostitution and sex trafficking, perpetrators continue to profit and grow.
The Indonesian government lacks the means of severe punishment and sanctions against such perpetrators. However, sex trafficking and prostitution are not contained within Indonesia — we see an increasing number of Indonesian children being trafficked worldwide.
The need for international awareness and pressure placed on the Indonesian government could increase prosecution and awareness of the issue. International aid should be provided to victims and their families who are suffering. This crisis requires the attention, care, and commitment of the international community.

Children are also involved in prostitution when they engage in sex in return for basic needs such as food, shelter or safety, or for favours such as higher grades at school or extra pocket money to purchase consumer goods.
These acts may occur in many different locations, such as brothels, bars, clubs, homes, hotels or on the street. The key issue is not that children make a choice to engage in prostitution in order to survive or to buy more consumer goods: driven by circumstances, or influenced by acquaintances, peers as well as social norms and values, they are pushed into situations in which adults take advantage of their vulnerability and sexually exploit and abuse them.
She is arrested time and time over and misunderstands her innocence when she is constantly labeled a prostitute by law enforcement. She misses her 14 th and 15 th birthdays. When law enforcement arrests the prostituted child as a child prostitute, when social service providers call her a prostitute or promiscuous, when her trafficker rewires her mind to make her believe that this life is all she is worthy of, how can we help our girls realize otherwise?
The key to rescuing and restoring our American girls is to label them appropriately as prostituted children. Terminology that accurately depicts these children as victims will lead to their identification by first responders as victims of domestic minor sex trafficking — prostituted children.
SHI research has found that domestic minor sex trafficking victims more readily disclose information about their exploitation when they are addressed as survivors. Furthermore, having a single label for the crime allows multiple agencies, communities, and regions to effectively track, research, and intervene in a single coordinated effort. A prostituted child deserves freedom from commercial sexual exploitation. A first step we can take in moving this liberation forward is to change perception through a careful use of the label we are applying to the victim.
Each one of these enslaved children is a prostituted child. Facebook Comments.
