Activities

UNICEF collaborates with the Government of Indonesia in formulating child protection policy and in the development and implementation of child protection legislation, including in the country’s conflict and disaster-affected areas. To this end, UNICEF supports the development, revision and implementation of national and local laws, policies and programs, such as the Child Protection Law, the Anti-Trafficking Law, the Population Administration Law, and related implementing regulations, including the National Plan of Action on Trafficking and the national policy on separated children.

Based on the latest recommendation from the Committee on the Rights of the Child, UNICEF is currently supporting the Government of Indonesia to ratify both Optional Protocols to the CRC.

In addition to the government, UNICEF’s Child Protection Program works with a wide range of partners, including civil society, the private sector, law enforcers, legislators, social workers and children, in an attempt to create a comprehensive framework that protects all children from all forms of abuse, violence, and exploitation.

Recognizing that trafficking and exploitation against children are complex issues, UNICEF Indonesia is addressing these using an integrated, holistic approach. Concrete strategies include: Prevention, with a particular focus on equipping vulnerable children with the skills they need to protect themselves; Recovery for victims, by strengthening integrated referral systems and training service providers to offer quality services for victims; Awareness-raising, by supporting behaviour change through local and national communications campaigns involving children, parents, communities, decision-makers and the private sector; Legal protection, by supporting the development, adoption and implementation of laws and policies that address exploitation and trafficking of children; and Monitoring and data gathering, to strengthen the knowledge base on exploitation and trafficking of children, including through community-based monitoring and the documentation of lessons learned.

UNICEF Indonesia also supports the prevention of violence against children through the promotion of child abuse prevention in schools, building public awareness as well as strengthening of the referral and reporting system for victims. UNICEF is also working to mainstream child protection into the juvenile justice system, as well as into legislation, norms and standards, procedures, mechanisms, institutions and bodies applicable to children who come into contact with the law, whether as offenders, victims or witnesses.

Finally, UNICEF supports monitoring and data gathering on child protection issues, at both national and sub-national level. In all its areas of intervention, strategies of Prevention, Protection, and Recovery and Reintegration are supported with view to providing a protective environment for all children.
