Childhood poverty matters—not only because of the disturbingly high number of children affected, but also because of the deleterious impact on their human flourishing, both now and in the future. Effectively addressing child poverty requires clear identification of the nature and causes of the problem, as well as an understanding of how it is experienced. This paper aims to deepen understanding of child poverty, by drawing on key elements of a capability approach, rights-based approaches, and feminist standpoint theory, and empirical research. It is grounded in the findings of rights-based, participatory research with children aged between 7 and 15 years in Indonesia and in Australia, which cast new light on the dimensions of poverty that are most egregious from a child-driven standpoint. It presents a three-dimensional typology of material, opportunity, and relational poverty. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The protection needed by children to face the reality of being the victims of child trafficking is not only physical protection, but mental, spiritual, and social healing as well. The punishment system still focuses on criminals instead of the victims. The law protection model for the victims of child trafficking in Indonesia is not comprehensive, so there is little chance that the victims get their rights. Although Act Number 21 Year 2007 has guaranteed the victims’ rights, the chance to get their rights is relatively minimal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
