National
development conducted in Indonesia from time to time aiming for the creation of
a just and prosperous society , materially and spiritually , so that
development and need to be oriented towards the achievement of Indonesian human
healthy , independent , faith and fear of God Almighty . It is a hope that has
not and may be difficult to achieve, because the country is " sick "
. Bawdy - marutnya this country in because the leaders who are not mandated to
carry out the aspirations of the people, so many government programs are not
realized one example of poverty reduction by creating jobs in the country as
possible for the people.
The impact on society is rising unemployment due to the narrowness of the jobs in the country, and the people began to think to get a job abroad as Indonesian Workers (TKI), but unfortunately this good intention exploited by some unscrupulous irresponsible to promise the victim will be at work in a foreign country with a big salary and get a decent job, but in the end they made in Tarfficcking victims and will be the object of exploitation of labor that would plunge the workers on the wage labor system without clear, without any conditions before terms of employment, without employment protection and so forth like forced labor. And often the workers would fall into the abyss of prostitution and the more terrifying is entered as part of the trade in human organs. That crime Human Trafficking very oppressive human rights performance and is still a problem around the world today.
Indonesia is a country in Asia that is located kawasn stratergis and is a country that is 2/3 the area merupakn oceans, and the land is rich in mineral resources and spices, making Indonesia in the past as a colony that sangangat potential to be colonized. The arrival of the colonists had been detrimental to the people at that time both moral and material Trafficking all imprint is no exception.
Trafficking in Indonesian history more bannyak killed women and children. In Indonesia, this will not be anything new. History states that this issue has become the center of attention since the Dutch colonial occupation in Indonesia. In a Congress of the Association of Indonesian women Commitments (GN) in 1932, Trafficking has become one of the main discussion in the forum. This congress to formulate recommendations on the trafficking of women and children are believed to relate directly to the issue of poverty in the waistband by colonial society.
GN believes there is a significant relationship between the issue of trafficking in women and prostitution by poverty problems of the people, who at that time lived in the entanglement of debt and poor working conditions for women workers. One thing is unforgettable, sad history of Indonesian women who become comfort women who become sexual objects by the Japanese army during World War II, and it is clearly an act of Trafficking in Women and Children in the name of sexual perbuadakan for war purposes. From it can be seen that the problem of trafficking in Indonesia, has existed since the founding of this country.
From a historical perspective, we have view that the problem of trafficking in women and children is already a matter of public record that goes hand in hand with the establishment of the Indonesian nation, and until recently was the practice of the Human Trafficking still exist in Indonesia in different colors namely guise of Indonesian Workers (TKI) that not a few of them become victims of human trafficking abroad.
What's Human Trafficking? Trafficking is a form konsepdinamis with which change from time to time, in accordance with perkembnagn economic, social and political. Until now there has been no divinisi Trafficking are agreed internationally, so much debate about the most appropriate divinisi about the complex phenomenon that is called Trafficki
But the UN General Assembly of its 1994 defines trafficking as follows: "The transfer of people across national boundaries and internationally illegal and unlawful, especially from developing countries and countries with economies in transition with the aim of forcing women and girls in a situation of oppression and sexual and economic exploitation, as well as other illegal actions related to trafficking such as forced domestic labor, false mating, illegal workers and false adoption in the interest of recruiters, traders and syndicated crime ".
If freely translated Trafficking can mean movement or displacement of people in secret and forbidden to cross the border region (location) with the ultimate goal to force these people into a situation that is sexually or economically oppressive and exploitative and provide benefits for recruiters , traffickers and crime syndicates.
If think logically one would not want to become victims of trafficking, but why there are still many people who has prosecuted? This can not be separated from the condition of the victims whose economic capabilities limitations, in the middle of the necessities of life are increasingly high, inevitably it requires us to get something more to survive, be working abroad as migrant workers is the only way to change fate. That paradigm in public life which is life is far from enough, is not all migrant workers suffered a similar fate became victims of trafficking, those who initially was intending to work abroad, and has been careful in selecting and determining its objectives abroad dengn process in accordance with legal provisions or the government they get a job according to what they expect. Generally, the workers abroad to work as domestic helpers, baby sister, the driver, project workers, and others those who have little ability bias is said to earn sufficient income to meet the needs of the family at home. But for those who have more skill, outside their home country can be experts in a particular field and certainly the revenue obtained is enormous But it is different with those who do not have any expertise but still iron hard to work abroad through a path that is not set by the government (Illegal) or tempted by the promise of the irresponsible promises will be employed in the right place with a big salary, they who often become victims of trafficking.
Less carefully the prospective migrant workers in determining their employment bureaus abroad can be bad when you work abroad later.
Factors that influence the occurrence of Trafficking are:
1. Lack of her consciousness when looking for a job with not knowing the dangers of trafficking and the means used to deceive or trick the victim. Poverty has forced many people to seek work anywhere, regardless of the risks of the job.
2. Weak elements of law enforcement officers and related parties in safeguard the indication cases of Trafficking
The effort that has been done the government to combat Human Trafficking is good enough to make the provisions of the law regarding Human Tafficking, and the government has been taking part in ratifying the conference - an international conference on trafficking but sometimes what is in want it does not always correspond to the field proof Indonesia is still ranked third in the world handling trafficking cases.
Things that feel still need to be done in response to the Indonesian government
Human Trafficking among other things:
1. Formed legislation able to touch the issue of containing foreign elements.
2. Establish strict sanctions against both criminal and administrative violations of the fundamental provisions in order to create a deterrent effect.
3. Recruitment of migrant workers is done appropriately with the principles of easy, cheap and fast to avoid illegal workers
4. Streamline the supervision system of government.
Over the past decade Indonesia has become the second largest supplier of labor in the world after the Philippines. About 72 per cent of migrant workers are female. The workers from Indonesia, 90 percent work as domestic workers in Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, and the Middle East, and not a few of them are victims of trafficking.
At the political level the government has shown seriousness to eliminate human trafficking, including trafficking of labor, this is evidenced by the ratification of international conventions and put it in national legislation, but on a practical level instrument Employment Law so far still provide a gap for human trafficking for the purpose of exploitation of workers and in prostitution. Cracks are either derived from legislation that is substantially still not clearly and unequivocally, also in terms of enforcement is still partial / sector should be integrated inter-agency cooperation.
Labor trafficking as a crime need comprehensive treatment and require handling cross-sectoral and involve all relevant agencies , whether the Labor Department , the police, judiciary , Ke - immigration , Transportation and so on . The pattern of one-stop service and simplify the administration for the prospective workers who will work out of the country at least will reduce the proliferation of labor brokering and illegal migrant workers .
