PERLINDUNGAN HUKUM TERHADAP TENAGA KERJA WANITA INDONESIA ATAS TINDAK PIDANA KEKERASAN DITINJAU DARI UNDANG-UNDANG NOMOR 39 TAHUN 2004 TENTANG PENEMPATAN DAN PERLINDUNGAN TENAGA KERJA INDONESIA DI LUAR NEGERI

Abstract

The violence against Indonesian migrant workers (PMI) especially women often occurs when these workers are at work abroad. This research title is “Legal Protection of Indonesian Women Workers for Violent Crimes Based on Law Number 39 of 2004 concerning the Placement and Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers Abroad” this research shows that Some of them have to go back to their homeland in the dead body of severe physical injury due to mistreatment suffered while working, so they can no longer do the work that is their responsibility and must be returned to Indonesia in a large traumatic condition. Moreover, some of the PMI is currently dealing with the law with the threat of the death penalty in other countries, for allegedly committing crimes against the families where they work. The Research shows that there are PMIs working abroad who are often unable to protect themselves legally and the Indonesian government has not been optimal in applying protection to PMI especially women and children even though it has ratified the CEDAW convention. As input for the government, the government is deemed necessary to formulate a new policy model through bilateral cooperation with certain countries that prioritize the protection and enforcement of human rights (HAM), especially in countries that target PMI placement.
