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 ?

Thank you so much.

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

Yes, Indonesia has a law to protect migrant workers, namely Law No. 18 of 2017 on
the protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers. This law provides for protection before,
during and after migrant workers work abroad.

To overcome the weakness of law enforcement, some steps that can be taken are:

Increase capacity and training for law enforcement officers.
Strengthen coordination among related agencies.
Increase transparency and accountability in complaints of violations.
Socialization and education on the rights of migrant workers.
Establishing international cooperation with destination countries for better protection
