THE GENDER PERSPECTIVE ON HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN INDONESIA
ABSTRACT: Human trafficking is
commonly associated with women due to the fact that the majority of the victims
are women. In reality, both men and women have been the victims of human
trafficking through various exploitative and abusive treatments. This paper
aims to describe human trafficking activities across the border areas in
Indonesia based on the gender perspective. Several aspects of human trafficking
are discussed, such as the pattern, the process and the impact of trafficking
activities on the victim's life. Data and information for this article come
from the reviews of several studies and scientific papers related to the human
trafficking, particularly in Indonesia. This study shows that the males and
females trafficked victims have different experience of abuse in a range of
sectors, and therefore required different kind of support and protection. This
paper aims to contribute in finding the solutions for the improvement of the
existing human trafficking intervention.
