Indonesian Diplomacy towards Malaysia to Combat Human Trafficking under the guise of Indonesian TKW

Abstract

TKI are Indonesian citizens, both male and female, engaged in economic activity and undergoing job training overseas for a set length of time. TKI are workers who really intend to work abroad to meet the needs of family life in Indonesia. Migrant workers are usually sent to Malaysia to work hard for the dream of getting a decent living for their loved ones. TKI is actually a collection of unskilled workers which is a government program to reduce unemployment. Female migrant workers are often referred to as female workers (TKW). This research project will be using a qualitative method in terms of describing the phenomena of the strategy of Indonesia and Malaysia government to prevent Human Trafficking under the guise of Indonesian TKW, using the Migration Diplomacy. Indonesia and Malaysia''s migration diplomacy towards TKW in Indonesia really illustrates these things, where what we have discussed is how the relationship between Indonesia and Malaysia manages cross-border population mobility by conducting the MOU was made to protect Indonesian workers in Malaysia, especially women, from various acts of human trafficking and violence. Malaysia and Indonesia established the Malaysia-Indonesia General Border Committee (GBC Malindo), also known as the Border Security Cooperation Forum, to address border security challenges. Basically, each country''s interests influence connections between countries, and relations between countries can work efficiently provided these interests do not conflict. This cooperation has shown that there is a strong desire from both countries to prevent and minimize various forms of crime that occur in the two countries, especially those related to the problem of human trafficking through the Joint Police Cooperation Committee (JPCC).
