EXCERPT:

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is working with the National Police to develop a database on cases of human trafficking.

Counter-trafficking officer Kristin M. Dadey of the IOM told The Jakarta Post on Friday that the database, which is expected to be completed within the next few months, would help provide better statistics on incidents of trafficking and criminal methods used. 

"The police are currently having trouble collecting data on the crime. Besides the poor system for organizing data, the trouble also comes from the many victims who don't report their cases to the police," said Kristin.
