Jakarta, NU Online
Nahdlatul Ulama Young Women Organization (Fatayat NU) expected the trafficking in women and children to be discussed on National Assembly and Major Conference in Surabaya, July 27 to 30 ahead.
Due to the trafficking has always violated the child’s right to grow up in a family environment, Fatayat NU condisered that the children trafficked have most of the time faced a range of dangers, including violence and sexual abuse. Trafficked children has even been arrested and detained as illegal aliens.
<>“Many have no awareness of the child trafficking for operating behind the department of legal workers abroad,” said General Chairwoman of Fatayat NU Maria Ulfa Anshor at PBNU Building, Saturday (22/7).
Maria argued the children and their families were often unaware of the dangers of trafficking, believing that better employment and lives lie in other countries.
She said, 99,99 percent of the victims were NU followers living in villages. The lack information of the issue has even made Islamic clerics or Islamic Boarding Schools (Pesantren) involve themselves in the business. So it’s often been hidden and hard to address.
Fatayat NU was ready to provide such important materials about trafficking by inviting experts or victims’ testimony on coming national meeting of Muslim clerics (ulama) in Surabaya. Formerly, it had socialized anti-trafficking movement to many pesantrens in East Java, Central Java, and West Java. (mkf)
