Representatives of the Indonesian Migrant Workers\' Union (SBMI) hold a press conference on 26 June 2019 at the Jakarta offices of the National Commission on Violence Against Women (Komnas Perempuan). The SBMI spoke to the press about the alleged human trafficking case of two migrant workers from West Kalimantan, DI and YI.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS —  The crime of trafficking in human beings continues to victimize Indonesian citizens. Scores of women in Kalimantan, West Java, Central Java, Banten and Jakarta have allegedly become victims of human trafficking over the last few years through marriage contracts to men in China, illustrating the state’s poor efforts in protecting women and enforcing the law.

In addition to physical and psychological abuse, the victims of human trafficking were also allegedly subjected to sexual abuse. Several victims were able to flee their captors and return to Indonesia after pleading for help from the Indonesian Migrant Workers Association (SBMI), Indonesian consulates and the Indonesian embassy in Beijing.
