Abstract
Efforts to protect Indonesian migrant workers continue due to the danger of transnational organized crime, such as human trafficking, which exists on a yearly basis. This phenomenon necessitates international attention from a variety of countries in order to secure workers' fundamental rights and their citizenship rights. The aim of this study was to identify the barriers to protecting Indonesian migrant workers and the efforts that must be made to overcome those barriers. Literature studies and interviews with informants were used to collect data, which was supplemented by an interpretive approach with an ethnographic approach. The findings indicate that the Indonesian government is committed to updating its legal framework and providing safeguards for Indonesian migrant workers as part of the state's duty to its people. However, the attempts that have been made continue to face numerous obstacles, ranging from the location of the placement to the obstacles caused by the Indonesian Migrant Worker himself. According to Law No. 18 of 2017 on the Protection of Migrant Workers, it is important to organize cooperation among agencies in order to deal with problems encountered by Indonesian Migrant Workers. Immigration, as an organization, plays an important role in attempts to protect migrant workers before they begin working. This is done in accordance with Minister of Law and Human Rights Regulation No.4 of 2017 on Immigration Control Procedures and Circular Number IMI-0277.GR.02.06 of 2017 on Non-Procedural Indonesian Workers Prevention. Based on this rule, immigration establishes cooperation with various agencies to supervise Indonesian residents, prevent the issuance of travel documents to prospective Indonesian Migrant Workers with non-procedural indications, and carry out security and handling of Indonesian Migrant Workers. As a result, the immigration cooperation carried out is critical in efforts to protect Indonesian Migrant Workers.
