Trafficking in persons is a cross-border crime which injures human dignity. The mode of trafficking in persons is to take advantage of the economic conditions of potential victims by luring them a better job. This research will discuss the profile of victims of trafficking in persons, gender analysis in human trafficking, and international policies in victim protection that are gender equality oriented. This research is a normative juridical study examining the analysis of international legal instruments, laws and court decisions. The research was conducted using the statute approach, legal concepts and the concept of gender. The victims of trafficking in persons are dominated by women, although it does not rule out the possibility that men can also be the victims. Women are considered as commodities that can provide benefits because they can be bought and sold to do work without requiring high education, and even provide sexual services. The perpetrators of the criminal network carry out the recruitment of potential victims by involving the householder of the potential victim, in this case the husband or father of the potential victim. This condition cannot be separated from the deep rooted patriarchal culture in the society, in which the men play a role as the decision makers in the family. Power relations play an important role in analyzing this crime of trafficking in persons. Efforts to combat trafficking in persons are carried out within the framework of a gender-equitable policy. However, the existing legal instruments have not addressed the fundamental problems of trafficking in women. Reconstruction of the legal culture of society is very important in protecting women from various forms of violence.

Indonesia is in a state of emergency for the crime of trafficking in persons. The need for employment has caused many Indonesian workers to become victims of human trafficking. The crime of trafficking in persons is a violation of human rights to human freedom to work according to one's own will and not be forced and tortured in doing work. The district court as the executor of judicial power in the field of general crimes plays a role in enforcing the law and providing justice, one of which is by imposing restitution decisions for victims of human crimes.

Statistics have shown increasing trend of the crime of “trafficking in persons”, in various parts of the world, including China, Iran, Russia, Sudan, Syria, Malaysia and few others. Sometimes known as “human trafficking” or “modern slavery”, past research has pointed that the use of technology is predominant in leading to the crime of trafficking in persons. In the era of information society and network society alike, technology is not only resorted to for the advantage of the users, but such also as removing geographical boundaries, enhanced efficiencies, communication, and commerce. On the other hand, it also works against the benefit on humankind, particularly in this study, in facilitating the crime of trafficking in persons. Henceforth, this study investigates the role of technology in facilitating the crime of trafficking in persons. The methodology engaged in this study is doctrinal research, involving review of literature, statistics, government reports, archival documents and relevant cases on human trafficking. The study found that technology plays a significant role in facilitating human trafficking from four main dimensions, being (1) recruitment and advertisement, (2) transportation, (3) exploitation, and (4) financial management. At each of these dimensions, technology becomes the enabler and communication tool to empower perpetrators in engaging in the crime of trafficking in persons. The findings of the study are significant to contribute to the body of knowledge in the areas of cybercrimes and trafficking in persons. Hopefully, the findings of the study would shed light into future research on these key areas, particularly towards achieving the 16th goal of the United Nation’s sustainable development goals for peace, justice and strong institutions (SDG-16)

Trafficking in persons is considered an illegal activity associated with transnational organised crimes. Interestingly, trafficking in persons as a transnational organised crime is increasing quickly. This could be illustrated by the growing involvement of criminal organisations in trafficking in persons. Therefore, it is important to address this crime. This is important because trafficking in persons is a large-scale problem linked with international organised crimes. However, such addressing requires identifying a number of issues regarding trafficking in persons as a transnational organised crime. These issues are the following: The first issue is clarifying the meaning of trafficking in persons as a transnational organised crime. The second issue is analysing the transnational nature of the crime of trafficking in persons. The third issue is the criminal jurisdiction over trafficking in persons as a transnational organised crime. The fourth issue is addressing trafficking in persons as a transnational organised crime. The fifth issue is highlighting the international, regional, and national responses to trafficking in persons as a transnational organised crime.Notably, addressing trafficking in persons as a transnational organised crime requires a holistic approach. This approach should include international, regional and national responses as well as states? cooperation and cooperation among international organisations. Such a holistic approach is significant because trafficking in persons is not limited to one country. Consequently, tackling trafficking in persons requires countries to unify their efforts and to make serious attempts in the fight against this crime. In this regard, it is to be noted that Jordan has made significant efforts of attempts to address the crime of trafficking in persons. Accordingly, the Jordanian example could be analysed and studied to determine what Jordan has done, how Jordan has done that and would that be done better in the future.

The crime of trafficking in persons is something that has often happened that cannot be denied. So that this matter became a special concern for the Government of Indonesia, which in the end issued the regulation of Law Number 21 of 2007 concerning the Eradication of the Criminal Acts of Trafficking in Persons. The main problem in this research is criminal liability for the attempted criminal act of trafficking in persons and the judge's consideration in sentencing the perpetrators who attempted the criminal act of trafficking in persons in the decision Number 54/Pid.Sus/2021/PN.Lsm.

Criminal liability for attempted criminal acts of trafficking in persons in Law Number 21 of 2017 concerning the Eradication of the Crime of Trafficking in Persons is different from liability for attempted criminal acts regulated in the Criminal Code. The difference is that in Article 53 paragraph (2) and paragraph (3) of the Criminal Code the sentence imposed is reduced by one third, while according to Article 10 of Law Number 21 of 2017 concerning the Eradication of the Crime of Trafficking in Persons, the criminal sanctions imposed are not reduced by one third, but are equated with the deed is done.

Restitution can be interpreted as the right of victims of criminal acts provided by the perpetrators or third parties as a form of loss recovery and legal protection for victims, which can be in the form of compensation for material and/or immaterial losses suffered. The implementation of the right to restitution for victims of trafficking in persons can not only be carried out on the basis of statutory orders but also requires the role of both law enforcement officials and other non-governmental organizations. The provision of restitution rights as a form of legal protection can be seen in several court decisions, but in fact this is very rarely found in the jurisdiction of the Padang District Court Class I A. The formulation of the problem is: 1. How is the implementation of the provision of restitution to victims of human trafficking crimes, 2. what are the obstacles faced by law enforcement, 3. and how is the solution to the obstacles in implementing the provision of restitution to victims of human trafficking crimes in the jurisdiction of the Padang District Court Class 1 A? This research uses empirical juridical methods with the aim of studying and analyzing the procedures for the operation of law in community life. From the results of this research, the implementation of restitution rights in the jurisdiction of the Padang District Court is still not optimal. This is because there are several obstacles such as the long mechanism for submitting restitution requests, the absence of demands regarding restitution rights included in the verdict and also the lack of socialization of restitution rights. The obstacles faced require solutions such as simplifying the procedural system for applying for restitution rights, increasing attention to the interests of victims and increasing the socialization of the right to restitution itself, both from victims, the community and even law enforcement officials.

Regulations related to compensation for victims of trafficking in persons within the Indonesian legal framework still leave significant lacuna legis, or legal gaps. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze lacuna legis in the provision of compensation for victims of trafficking in persons in Indonesia. This study uses normative legal research with a legislative and conceptual approach. The results of the study show that there are lacuna legis in the TPPO Law, PSK Law, PP 35/2020, and PERMA 1/2022, which do not categorize victims of trafficking in persons as recipients of compensation. but instead limit the scheme only to victims of gross human rights violations and criminal acts of terrorism, thereby creating inequality in protection with victims of other crimes and contradicting the principles of modern victimology and the state's obligations under international law, which require the state to provide effective recovery for all victims of serious crimes, including victims of trafficking in persons. The recommendation in this study is that it is necessary to reconstruct the compensation arrangements for victims of trafficking in persons as an effort to fill the legislative gap so that protection for victims of trafficking in persons is more inclusive, responsive, and in line with international standards
