Kebijakan Hukum Nasional dalam Mengatasi Eksploitasi Anak di Bidang Perdagangan dan Jasa

Abstract

Child exploitation in trade and services remains a serious problem in Indonesia.
This study analyzes the effectiveness of national legal policies in protecting children
from economic exploitation, with a focus on the implementation of Law No. 35 of
2014 on Child Protection and related legal instruments. The research method employs
a normative-juridical approach through literature review and case analysis. The results
indicate that although the legal framework is adequate, field implementation still faces
challenges such as weak inter-institutional coordination, low public awareness, and
budget constraints. This article recommends strengthening the child protection system
through central-regional policy integration, capacity building for law enforcement, and
restorative approaches
