Two underage girls loiter on Tuesday (19/11/2019) on a sidewalk near an intersection in the Gelora area, Central Jakarta. The victims of adult exploitation, many children in the capital are forced to work late into the night, begging on the streets. A comprehensive solution is needed from all stakeholders to tackle this violation of children’s rights.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS – The existence of street children is a result of dysfunctional families and their inability to fulfill their children’s basic rights. At the same time, the government has not yet thoroughly assumed its responsibilities as stipulated in the Constitution.
