A social phenomenon that has recently occurred in social life is the problems that occur with children. The existence of children who are positioned as individuals who are still very vulnerable and weak and therefore have the potential to become victims of criminal acts.

All actions that include services and assistance to victims. The legal efforts taken are preventive and repressive. Preventive efforts include conducting outreach to the public regarding the modus operandi of criminal acts of human trafficking which result in turning victims into prostitution, repressive efforts include implementing heavy criminal sanctions for the perpetrators.
