GADIS Projects

The goal of GADIS Project; Vulnerable infants, teenage girls/young women living in catchment areas known for trafficking in Special Region of Yogyakarta and Central Java are protected and prevented from human trafficking. Since the situation of human trafficking, especially children and adolescents still remains as existing issue or serious concern in Indonesia. Many cases of human trafficking have been revealed with various purposes. Vulnerable groups are children and young women, that is the young women who had been married with very limited economic situation to support the needs of families and to solve the inability to face the economic situation of the family, often causing them to be targeted by traffickers even the parents because of the lack of information and unable to care of their children or baby and then handed over to persons without going through the proper procedures. This is to make children or their baby have a high risk of becoming victims of trafficking for the purpose of exploitation or organ trafficking.
