Violence against Indonesian Migrant Workers - A Causal Analysis
Abstract: Violence and abuse
against Indonesian unskilled labourers and migrant workers has become prolific
and is a serious breach of human rights. This research will provide a basis to
understanding physical violence and abuse against Indonesian migrant workers overseas
from a policy and government perspective. This issue will be analyzed with four
different perspectives including; non-government organizations working in the
field, governments and legislation which are obliged to protect migrant workers
against abuse, agents who send Indonesian migrant workers overseas and victims
who have returned following employment overseas. Both quantitative and
qualitative research methods will be applied through the compilation and
analysis of statistics by government and non-government organizations,
assessing trends, demographics and social factors that increase the risk of
exploitation and also providing an overview of relevant legislation. Victims,
witnesses, agents and other concerned parties will give testimony to provide
primary data and greater insight into the issue. Understanding the causes and
trends behind these phenomena will provide a sturdy foundation on which to
build long term policy solutions and cooperation among nations.
