Analysis of the Implementation of Article 42 Of UUPMI No. 18/2017 on the Duties and Responsibilities of Village Governments Affecting the Vulnerability of Violence and Trafficking in Persons (TPPO) for Women Migrant Workers in Lampung Province

Abstract

Most migrant workers in Lampung are women from the informal sector; they suffer issues such as non-procedural departure, unpaid salaries, fraud, harassment, and trafficking as a result of working in Lampung, Indonesia's sixth largest province, for placing migrant workers. UUPMI No. 18/2017 was passed to ensure the safety of migrant workers and their families. The purpose of this research is twofold: first, to learn more about how Article 42 of UUPMI No. 18/2017 on local government responsibilities is practiced, and second, to learn more about what obstacles hinder the implementation of the law. Secondary and primary data from literature research, field investigations, and qualitative analysis are utilized to inform both normative and empirical legal approaches. Partially implemented is Article 42 of UUPMI No. 18/2017, which discusses the government's duty to safeguard the rights of migrant workers and to stop violence and TPPO against women in Lampung Province. Article 42 of UUPMI No. 18/2017 is not being implemented by village administrations due to a lack of personnel. Migrant farm workers from rural areas lack access to social programs, education, and resources due to a lack of financial support. Provincial, district, and municipal governments do not coordinate or share statistics with one another.
