Women Trafficking

The most issue in Indonesia about the women’s lives about the women’s trafficking this issue not
due to just women lives but this related with human rights, i dont know what and why this can be
happen in Indonesia, and that i cant to accept this Indonesia got 3th grade in Women Trafficking.

I know this is the generally rumor, but i want to try look from other paradigm. As we know, the
most factor that influence the womens trafficking is economical factor. But now i want to look from
environment paradigm that where the women was live.

Maybe that not only economical factor, many people in Indonesia dont know about the trafficking,
and many of people i ask “Do you know what is trafficking?” , many of people said “i dont know”.
That the problem, this problem was very dangerous.

How we can avoid something but we dont know what is that. This question i ask to urban people
live in the big city. But, how in the side of the city, how they will know, beside of that, people live
in big city dont know that.

What about the people in the side of the city, have they know? The point is the socialization in the
people environment.

Many factor can be affected by trafficking especially women trafficking, now we focus on
environment. Women who lives in village dont know about human trafficking, but i know she is
rich , her father is the leader of that village and her mother is a teacher. One day, some people come
to her house and asking and recruiting to join working in other countries.

And then , she requested time to her parent. And they accept that and promise to back in 2 days. She
is begging to his parent, but two of us accept that . That mean two of us had accepted the human
trafficking? i answer NO, why? Two of us dont know what his daughter want. She say to them (his
parent), to just work in other cities , and didnt asking his parent to go to outside country in the other
words “She is lying”.

But she dont know she is one of trafficking victims, next days the people come again. And the
people meet her parent and she is ready to going up with her bag and some of luggage. And she had
given money up to 4 juta rupiah (equal $421) , and she is going with the people go to big city . And
she is transfered with other trafficking victims to other country.

One years past, and she didnt give information to her parent in country. The parent just got
information from the agent that agent said : “She is well”. But, the reality, she is sold. One day, the
parent very worried about her condition. And they called the agent via phone. But now, they cant
contact with the agent. So, they are worry about her safety. And they called the police, and the
police said : “We will investigate this”.

Five years past, since they cant contact with the agent. They very worried, and trying to asking
people where they can find her. And, one day they got information, she is die. Because she is
jumping from fifth floor of the apartement. The reality is, she is going to outside country and
working as sleve, after that she is married and have a conflict with his husband and she choice to die
with suicide.

The story is the scene, why trafficking in Indonesia not only affected by economical side but,
environment too. The fact is some of people want to try to going outside country but dont know that
the victim of trafficking. And for example that ladies. She must to ending his life with suicide.

Other factor is the socialization we must sure that the information had distribute to the people who
live in the side of city. Because many of trafficking agent that operation in Indonesia have a target
the people who live in side of the city, especially the women and we can called her ‘mojang desa’.
In that story, we know that her parent have a good job. But, how the daughter doing, she is victims
of himself.

So , i have some suggest that i hope can reduce trafficking in Indonesia.

1. Socialization to side of the city about what the trafficking is it.

2. The law must be established especially , Human Trafficking law, and Human Rights Law.
3. Law enforcement must be proactive about human trafficking.
4. The minister of Indonesia in the other country must be sensitive about his people who
working and staying in other countries.
5. Migration and passport registration must be more responsive to the people who suspect to be
trafficking victims. Because as we know that cannot be go to outside country without that,
but some of trafficking agent didnt use passport because of that the trafficking victim can be
problem with that and have antoher law problem that is “Illegal Comer”.
6. Make sure not just socialization that government can doing, but action to caught all of the
trafficking agent.

I think just this i can to say about my essay, and i hope all of the judge who choice the best essay
will doing the best and hope the best is the winner. I just want to say thank you to CEDAW who
doint this program. I hope this essay event can motivate young people the way to care about the
issue in his country.
