UGM Student Team Uncovers the Dark Reality of Child Sex Tourism in Bali

Tourism has become a vital sector for the Indonesian economy, especially in Bali. However, the influx of tourists has significantly transformed the lifestyle of the Balinese community—including the involvement of children in tourism activities. This illegal involvement has been exacerbated by the disturbing rise of Child Sex Tourism (CST), which includes pedophilia and the sexual abuse of minors.

In response to this alarming issue, four students from Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), each from different academic disciplines, joined forces as part of the Student Creativity Program for Social and Humanities Research (PKM-RSH) to conduct field research in Bali.
