Abstract
In general, human trafficking is a global problem that is very seriously addressed, where the majority of victims are children and women. The research method used is a type of normative juridical source from secondary data by reviewing the legal literature and the Act. The results of the study are the provision of fulfilling the rights of children and women as an effort to form legal protection for children who are victims of crime. Legal protection efforts are children's rights that should be given when becoming victims, namely the rights of children and women to obtain restitution as stipulated in the provisions of the law. The mechanism for submitting and providing restitution for children and women can be carried out based on the laws and regulations that apply, one of which is Law Number 21 of 2007 concerning the eradication of criminal acts of trafficking in persons. In addition, there is also a Government Regulation Number 43 of 2017 in which the submission of restitution is divided into two stages, namely submitted during the process of investigation and prosecution. In this case, the investigator must be notified to the victim of his compensation rights (restitution), after being told then the victim must submit restitution within three days with the requirements for the application file that has been determined in government regulations
