Indonesia
Background
The previous National Action Plan for Prevention and Handling of Crime Trafficking in People in 2020 - 2024 (RAN PP TPPO) has now expired and discussions are underway for a renewal or new plan.
Leadership for action on combating exploitation is provided by the Central Task Force for the Eradication of Trafficking in Persons (GT PP TPPO) consists of around 24 ministries/institutions that include 6 sub-Task Forces.
Key government agencies and institutions involved are Migrant Workers Protection Agency (BP2MI), Criminal Investigation Agency of the Indonesian National Police (Bareskrim Polri), Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker), the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (PPPA), the Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Service (DP3A) and Ministry for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs (Polhukam).
An annual progress report is not readily available but individual reports from certain ministries are available in Bahasa Indonesia.
There are substantial risks to workers in Indonesia and Indonesian migrant workers seeking work abroad. Risks caused by illegal placement by Indonesian Migrant Worker Placement Companies (P3MI) have been continually flagged.
Ministry of Gender Empowerment and Child Protection - Gender and Children Information System (Simfoni) keeps data records on women and child victims.
Indonesia has complex supply chains, particularly as a major manufacturing and agricultural industry source.
Criminal enforcement against corporations benefiting from exploitation in supply chains is limited.
The Indonesia Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) monitors financial transactions relating to human trafficking and published a report on human trafficking and terrorist financing in 2023.
Indonesia is home to the Bali Process.
Budgets for dedicated funding for anti-trafficking in persons activities are available publicly (Bahasa Indonesia only).
Other Key Factors
To understand Indonesia’s situation more fully, we show the percentage of the population using the internet in Indonesia, along with the highest usage and lowest usage countries amongst the G20 members (Saudi Arabia and India).
Indonesia’s remittances are also shown with the respective highest and lowest inflow remittance countries in the G20 (India/Saudi Arabia) and the highest and lowest outflow countries in the G20 (US/Philippines). Keep in mind that remittance estimates are often an under count of actual remittance volume.(Graph unit is in Billion US$)
