The strong commitment to family values within society, the high standard of living, and government funding for children's welfare provides most children a healthy and nurturing environment.

Instances of child abuse appear low, and child prostitution seems to be nonexistent. Statement

for begging or other illegal activities or face stern punishment. The Protection Project - The www.protectionproject.org/human_rights_reports/report_documents/brunei.doc [accessed 2009] FORMS OF TRAFFICKING - Young people from Brunei
