Do indonesian law to protect indonesian migrant? because i did not see the
indonesia law to protect indonesian migrant worker, so how to solve this problem of
protecting migrant workers in indonesia ?
Replies:
Yes, Indonesia has laws specifically designed to protect Indonesian migrant workers.
The law is Law No. 18 of 2017 on the protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers
(PPMI), which is a refinement of the previous law. This law regulates various aspects
of protection for migrant workers, from the recruitment process, training,
placement, to legal protection while working abroad. The law aims to ensure the
rights of migrant workers are protected and prevent exploitation and abuse.
However, it is true that the main challenges lie in often inconsistent law enforcement
and weak oversight. Here are some ways to solve this problem:
Strengthening law enforcement and supervision institutions: improving the capacity
and capabilities of institutions involved in the supervision and protection of migrant
workers, such as BP2MI (Indonesian Migrant Worker Protection Agency) and the
Manpower office at the central and regional levels. Supervision also needs to be
carried out in the placement country, in collaboration with Indonesian
representatives abroad.
International Cooperation: establish cooperation with destination countries to
strengthen the protection of migrant workers. This includes bilateral agreements
ensuring that migrant workers ^ rights are protected and an effective complaints
mechanism in place.
Socialization and education for migrant workers: provide information to prospective
migrant workers about their rights, valid employment contracts, and protection
services. This education can be provided through training or socialization in areas
that are sources of migrant workers.
Monitoring by civil society: the involvement of civil society organizations and NGOs
in monitoring the implementation of this law can help ensure transparency and
accountability. They can also act as advocates in the fight for the rights of migrant
workers.
Complaints and legal assistance mechanisms: establish or strengthen responsive
and transparent complaint channels for migrant workers facin
The question for the participant with abstract number 7
What are the main factors causing the supervision of legal protection for Indonesian
migrant workers (PMI) to remain ineffective?
Replies:
The main factors causing the supervision of legal protection for Indonesian migrant
workers (PMI) to remain ineffective include:
Weak Legal Framework: While Indonesia has laws in place, there may be gaps or
ambiguities in the legislation that hinder effective enforcement and protection of
PMI.
Inadequate Monitoring and Enforcement: There is often a lack of resources and
personnel dedicated to monitoring the situation of PMI, leading to insufficient
oversight of their rights and welfare.
Limited Access to Information: Many migrant workers are unaware of their rights
and the legal protections available to them, making it difficult for them to advocate
for themselves or seek help when needed.
Corruption and Abuse of Power: Instances of corruption among officials and
exploitation by recruitment agencies can undermine legal protections and
discourage workers from reporting violations.
Insufficient Training for Enforcement Agencies: Personnel involved in the protection
and monitoring of PMI may lack adequate training on the legal framework and how
to support workers effectively.
Lack of Coordination Among Agencies: Fragmented efforts among various
government agencies can lead to gaps in protection and support services for PMI,
resulting in inconsistent application of laws.
Cultural and Societal Barriers: Discrimination or stigma against migrant workers can
hinder their ability to access legal protections and support services, contributing to
their vulnerability.
Addressing these factors requires a comprehensive approach, including
strengthening legal frameworks, enhancing monitoring capabilities, improving
access to information, and fostering collaboration among relevant stakeholders
Sustainability of supervision on the effective legal protection of Indonesian migrant
workers is a complex issue,
1. Do we have indonesian law to protect indonesian migrant? because we did not see
the indonesia law to protect indonesia migrant worker
2. Even when laws and regulations are in place, their enforcement can be weak and
inconsistent, so how to solve this problem ?
