【 摘 要 】

The fact that so many Indonesians live abroad is not the only reason why so many Indonesians facing problems overseas, but the irregular migration process is often the more common trigger for increasing the number of Indonesians facing overseas problems such as human trafficking and people smuggling. Human trafficking has developed in such a way that its scope and seriousness have now become an international, a regional and a national focus in fighting human trafficking. The majority of Indonesian migrant workers face the conditions of forced labor and slavery in more advanced and Middle Eastern Asian countries especially Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Kuwait, Syria and Iraq. The strengthening of patriarchal ideology in society and state adversely affects this condition because this ideology sees (1) the positions of children and women as objects and not the subjects of patriarchy, so that they gain a second or subordinate position in which children and women have no bargaining position against the wishes of their parents; (2) women's low level of education has caused them to be the objects of violence, which is a tool for men to show their power and a tool for forcing early marriage and; (3) the strengthening of globalization and neoliberalism.
