Call to repatriate, not deport child victims
Child victims of human trafficking should not be deported but repatriated to their home countries, said an international children's rights group.
At a workshop in Kuala Lumpur yesterday, Ecpat International also urged authorities not to criminalise child victims but to treat them with dignity and sensitivity.
The organisation, whose acronym stands for 'end child prostitution, child p*rnography and trafficking of children for s*xual purposes', wants governments to change their strategy on this issue.
