Deputy Minister Of The Ministry Of P2MI Christina Aryani

JAKARTA - The Ministry of Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers (KemenP2MI) will continue to be present to provide services for Indonesian citizens, especially Indonesian migrant workers abroad.

Deputy Minister for Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers (P2MI), Christina Aryani said, This is in line with President Prabowo Subianto's message that "leaders must realize the safety of the people" which was conveyed during a meeting with the leaders of the mass media some time ago.

He also asked Indonesian migrant workers to access services and assistance through the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia (KBRI) in various placement countries, if they experience problems.

"Migrant workers and prospective migrant workers can also access the call center of the Ministry of Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers at 0-800-1000 (domestic), [phone] (outernational) and syscopy.bp2mi.go.id. It could also be via Whatsapp at 0811-8080-141, the nearest BP3MI or P4MI office as well as the ministry's social media," said Christina in Jakarta, Thursday, April 10.

It is known that President Prabowo Subianto had a dialogue with seven national journalists in Hambalang, West Java, Sunday, April 6. Prabowo conveyed various views regarding strategic issues that are currently developing in Indonesia.

Christina continued, the problems that Indonesian migrant workers often face include unpaid salaries, inappropriate work contracts, and so on. The public is also asked not to be tempted by job vacancies with large salaries in countries that do not have placement cooperation with Indonesian governments such as Thailand, Myanmar and Cambodia.

"This socialization continues to be voiced in every visit I visit vocational schools. The reason is that these countries are prone to criminal acts of trafficking in persons (TPPO)," he said.

Christina also regrets that there are still many Indonesians who are victims of TIP, because they do not get clear information about work in placement countries. One example is the case of Saleh Darmawan (24). The resident of Bekasi City, West Java is suspected of being a victim of an international trade syndicate.

The rise of such cases does not make the Ministry of P2MI stand idly by. This is because coordination with related parties to handle cases of placing illegal migrant workers abroad continues.

"Hopefully, there will be no more people who become victims of TIP and of course in line with Mr. President Prabowo's concern regarding the safety of our people abroad," said Christina.
