Based on data from the Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI) from January to April 2021, 67% of victims of sexual exploitation, trafficking, and child labor were students still actively attending school. Only 37% of the victims were children who had dropped out of school.
This problem occurred because supervision from educational institutions weakened during the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. This is because students had to undertake distance learning (PJJ) during the pandemic.
This situation was also driven by the increasing burden on parents due to economic hardship and the increased accessibility of the internet during the pandemic. Therefore, cooperation from various parties is needed to protect children from various cases of sexual exploitation, trafficking, and child labor.
