JAKARTA - A total of 554 Indonesian citizens (WNI) who were victims of online scams in Myanmar could be repatriated to Indonesia in stages. Of the 554 Indonesian citizens, 5-6 people came home pregnant.
"What we know is that 5-6 people are pregnant," said the Minister of Protection for Indonesian Migrant Workers (P2MI), Abdul Kadir Karding, to reporters at Soetta Airport, Tangerang City, Tuesday, March 18.
He said the victims of online fraud or online scams were allegedly swallowed up by the perpetrators. However, he did not specify how the chronology of sexual harassment occurred.
"Some people are swallowed up, there is even sexual harassment," he said.
He added that the Coordinating Minister for Political and Security Affairs (Menko Polkam) Budi Gunawan ensured that the examination of women who were pregnant would be under the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (PPPA) led by Arifatul Choiri Fauzi.
"Someone will be responsible," he said.
