Annotation:
Commenting on the country report submitted by
Indonesia for its 40th Session, the Committee
commends the State party for its new
legislation combating domestic violence and
trafficking in women. It does note, however,
three particular areas of concern the
prevalence of female genital mutilation
(FGM), the abuse of domestic workers by
employers, and the persistence of domestic
and cross-border trafficking in women and
children. Recommendations include enacting
new legislation, undertaking public awareness
campaigns and increasing monitoring of
employers of female domestic workers.
