Abstract:Migrasi pekerja Indonesia ke luar negeri, termasuk ke Taiwan, terus menunjukkan tren peningkatan setiap tahun, sehingga Taiwan menjadi salah satu negara tujuan utama Pekerja Migran Indonesia (PMI) di kawasan Asia Timur.…
Namun, tingginya angka migrasi tersebut belum sepenuhnya diimbangi dengan pemahaman hukum PMI mengenai hak, kewajiban, dan mekanisme perlindungan yang diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 18 Tahun 2017 tentang Pelindungan Pekerja Migran Indonesia. Kondisi tersebut menyebabkan PMI rentan mengalami eksploitasi kerja, pemotongan gaji secara ilegal, penahanan dokumen, serta potensi tindak pidana perdagangan orang (TPPO). Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dilaksanakan melalui Program International Community Service (Student International Community Service) Universitas Muhammadiyah Bengkulu (UMB) di Taiwan dengan tujuan meningkatkan pemahaman hukum PMI mengenai hak-hak dasar, prosedur pengaduan resmi, dan pencegahan TPPO. Metode pelaksanaan meliputi ceramah interaktif, diskusi kelompok, studi kasus, simulasi pengaduan, serta pembagian modul saku dwibahasa yang dilaksanakan di tiga lokasi konsentrasi PMI, yaitu Taipei, Taoyuan, dan Kaohsiung, dengan melibatkan 115 peserta. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan peningkatan rata-rata skor pemahaman hukum peserta dari 50,4 pada pre-test menjadi 82,4 pada post-test atau meningkat sebesar 63,5%. Tingkat kepuasan peserta terhadap kegiatan mencapai 92% dalam kategori puas dan sangat puas. Kegiatan ini menunjukkan bahwa program International Student Community Service dapat menjadi model pengabdian lintas negara yang efektif sekaligus bentuk kontribusi perguruan tinggi dalam memperkuat perlindungan hukum bagi diaspora pekerja Indonesia di luar negeri.
The migration of Indonesian workers abroad, including to Taiwan, continues to show an increasing trend every year, making Taiwan one of the main destination countries for Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) in the East Asian region. However, the high migration rate has not been fully balanced with PMI's legal understanding of the rights, obligations, and protection mechanisms regulated in Law Number 18 of 2017 concerning the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers, so that PMI is vulnerable to labor exploitation, illegal salary deductions, document detention, and potential trafficking in persons (TPPO). This community service activity is carried out through the International Community Service Program (Student International Community Service) of the University of Muhammadiyah Bengkulu (UMB) in Taiwan, with the aim of increasing PMI's legal understanding of basic rights, official complaint procedures, and prevention of trafficking. The implementation methods included interactive lectures, group discussions, case studies, complaint simulations, and the distribution of bilingual pocket modules, which were carried out in three PMI concentration locations, namely Taipei, Taoyuan, and Kaohsiung, involving 115 participants. The results of the evaluation showed an increase in the average legal understanding score of participants from 50.4 in the pre-test to 82.4 in the post-test, or an increase of 63.5%, with the level of satisfaction with the activity reaching 92% in the satisfied and very satisfied categories. This activity shows that the International Student International Community Serviceprogram can be an effective model of cross-border community service as well as a form of university contribution in strengthening legal protection for the diaspora of Indonesian workers abroad.

Abstract:Indonesian Migrant Workers constitute a labor group that makes a significant contribution to the national economy through remittances, particularly from regions with high migration intensity such as East Nusa Tenggara Province;…
ovince; however, the strong public interest in working abroad is often not accompanied by adequate understanding of safe migration procedures, protection mechanisms, and the rights and obligations of migrant workers. This condition has led to serious problems, including the increasing number of non-procedural migrant workers, deportation cases, and vulnerability to human trafficking crimes, indicating an information and communication gap between migrant worker protection institutions and prospective migrant workers. This study aims to analyze the communication strategies implemented by the Indonesian Migrant Workers Protection Service Center of East Nusa Tenggara Province in enhancing public awareness of migrant workers’ rights. A qualitative approach with a descriptive method was employed to provide an in-depth portrayal of the communication practices carried out by the institution, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observation of socialization activities, and documentation studies. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, while the conceptual analytical framework was based on the Shannon–Weaver Two-Way Communication Model to assess message delivery effectiveness, communication channels, message recipients, and feedback mechanisms. The findings indicate that the Indonesian Migrant Workers Protection Service Center of East Nusa Tenggara Province has implemented various communication strategies, including direct community outreach, pre-departure orientation, the use of visual and audio media, and cross-sector collaboration with local governments and community leaders. Although these strategies contribute to increasing public knowledge regarding migration procedures and migrant workers’ rights, their effectiveness remains constrained by low literacy levels, challenging geographical conditions, and weak feedback mechanisms from target communities. The study concludes that strengthening dialogic and participatory communication, simplifying messages to improve comprehensibility, and adapting communication media to local cultural contexts are essential for improving migrant worker protection. The novelty of this study lies in integrating a two-way communication model with the socio-cultural context of East Nusa Tenggara as a basis for formulating more contextual, adaptive, and community-empowering communication strategies for migrant worker protection.
Abstract:Indonesia, as an archipelagic country, holds a geographically strategic position while also being vulnerable to various forms of transnational crimes, including the entry of illegal immigrants via maritime routes. Law enforcement…
forcement in maritime areas presents its own challenges due to the need to monitor vast territories, limited facilities and infrastructure, as well as the complex modus operandi employed by illegal immigration offenders. In this context, the Water Police (Pol-Air) serves as the main actor in maintaining maritime security and order, particularly in efforts to prevent the entry of illegal immigrants. This study aims to analyze the strategies and actions undertaken by Pol-Air in performing this function, as well as to evaluate the obstacles faced. The research method used is normative legal research with a qualitative approach, through analysis of existing laws and regulations as well as empirical practices in the field. The results of the study indicate that Pol-Air conducts various preventive measures, such as routine sea patrols in vulnerable areas, the use of maritime surveillance technology, improvement of personnel competencies, and public dissemination of immigration law among coastal communities as a form of participatory prevention. In addition, Pol-Air also engages in cross-sectoral coordination with relevant agencies to strengthen institutional synergy. Nevertheless, the implementation of Pol-Air's duties still faces structural and operational challenges, such as budget limitations, lack of integrated information systems, and weak law enforcement against human smuggling networks. Therefore, a reformulation of policies is needed to support institutional strengthening and sustainable inter-agency collaboration.
