BANGKOK: Facts presented at the sixth ministerial consultation of the East Asia and Pacific region, which ended on Wednesday in Denpasar, make it clear that children continue to be the objects of abuse and neglect at the hands of adults.
The latest reports published by Unicef and the Indonesian Government reveal, among other things, that children in this region feature prominently in cases of human trafficking and exploitation, either sexual or otherwise. This is the case despite the fact that many nations in the region, Indonesia included, have ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
