Abstract

As the number of Indonesian Migrant Workers seems to increasing every year, the issue regarding their protection is equally important. The Indonesian government’s existing protection mechanism seems to still lack behind compared to the increasing needs of proper protection steps especially the ones that related to the issue of early detection for HIV/AIDS. The existing regulation of the Head of BNP2TKI No.01/KA/SU/1/2008 is still far from effective at the implementation level. This study examines various healt issues countered by migrant workers before they depart and after they arrive back to Indonesia. To what extent the role of relevant authorities have provide a proper early detection to various health problems experienced by the migrant workers, especially on the issue of HIV/AIDS? It has found that the overall protection mechanism is till far from what is expected, including an early detection mechanism for HIV/AIDS. There is an urgent need on the government side to improve the mechanism and increasing coordination between related departments is a must. Failure to fulfill this could trigger a wider impact as the transmission of HIV/AIDS then may pass on to the family or wider society at the place of origin of the migrant workers. Data collection includes the steps of observation, in-depth interviews, gathering information through informants are individuals who have the knowledge and experience of the problems studied, and the next process is the classification and identification of data based on the theme for the next analysis.

Abstract

Netizens often use social media as a medium for activism, including Indonesia’s Migrant Workers (IMWs). Social media with networked characteristics has succeeded in lifting narratives in particular groups that have not been heard a lot and have escaped mainstream media scrutiny. Starting from the development of communication between IMWs, we raise the extent to which IMWs use social media as a medium for social activism, especially for IMWs protection issues and social media’s main content uploaded IMWs. This study aims to analyze to what extent social media is used by IMWs for social activism related to issues concerning the protection of migrant workers and what influences their behavior when using social media. We use a social media activism framework within the social media platform. Researchers collected data from March-October 2019 through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and focused discussions that presented 15 representatives from assistants, NGOs, and academics in Malang. There were also 25 IMWs representatives with placement experience in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Saudi Arabia. We found that the majority of IMWs use social media as a means of communicating between themselves and their families in the country; however, social media content for social activism is low, especially for the issue of IMWs protection. The culture and legal system in the countries of origin and destination countries influence the low level of participation in the content they create. IMWs is placed in a country with a more open culture, where local laws are more apparent in the protection of IMWs, so IMW’s social media content is more open and willing to provide testimony on the problems that exist around them and vice versa. Therefore, although social media is massive among IMWs, it is not linear with content production that leads to protection.

Abstract

HIV/AIDS prevention is very important and absolutely necessary. HIV transmission is now entering a fairly alarming level, in which people with HIV/AIDS in certain subpopulations are emerging. Special steps and resources are thus needed to cope with the condition. There are some phenomena potentially encourage HIV transmissions, such as the increasingly common free sex, homosexuality, the use of unsafe and unsterile syringes in narcotics consumption, commercial sex workers and various high-risk sexual activities. One of the crucial concerns that arises when sending prostitutes back to their hometowns without any coordinated and holistic mechanism is that the prostitutes may cause the spreading of HIV/AIDS in their hometowns. The research objective is to provide the material (input) how the prostitutes themselves may cause the spreading of HIV/AIDS. The research employed descriptive method with a qualitative approach. The results showed that the implementation and the role division in the closure have been highly coordinated and holistic. The leading sector in the role division is the Social Welfare epartment of the Government in Surabaya. In terms of health aspects for the former prostitutes sent back to their hometowns, there has been no policies related to medical screening designed to identify the disease early. Screening is very important for early diagnosis during the post-closure phase. The screening mechanism is that the Provincial Health Department has to optimize the monitoring, coordination, cooperation, agreements and partnerships with stakeholders such as the Local Health Department and the National/Provincial/Distric AIDS Commission, NGOs that are concerned with the problems of HIV-AIDS, international organizations, professional organizations, community leaders, religious leaders and universities.

Abstract

Rendahnya Pekerja Migran Indonesia (PMI) sebenarnya berkorelasi lurus dengan rendahnya tingkat pendidikan formal mereka. Rata-rata pendidikan formal sebanyak 68%  lulusan SD dan SMP. Pengetahuan PMI terkait dengan penularan penyakit yang disebabkan adanya pola-pola interaksi sangatlah rendah. Penyakit menular pada PMI terkait dengan pola-pola interkasi banyak dilakukan di negara tujuan. Hal ini tentunya  berdampak pada penyebaran penyakit menular pada PMI purna penempatan yang semakin meningkat bahkan menyebarluas bukan hanya di daerah pengiriman saja tetapi ke wilayah-wilayah yang bukan pengiriman PMI.WHO dari Komisi Migrasi dan Kesehatan menyampaikan adanya kerentanan para migran terkait dengan hak, perawatan kesehatan sebagai hak asasi manusia. Komisi ini memberikan rekomendasi menuju Global Health dengan misi migrasi sehat. Untuk merespon situasi ini maka studi ini membahas tentang pemberdayaan dikalangan  calon pekerja migran dalam rangka pencegahan penyakit menular  desa Benculuk, kecamatan Celuring, kabupaten Banyuwangi Jawa Timur ini diharapkan memberikan kontribusi untuk calon PMI terkait dengan pola-pola interaksi dan berperilaku sesuai standard kesehatan  dengan sesama migran, majikan maupun warga negara tujuan. Apabila ketika dalam pola-pola interaksi dan berperilaku tidak sesuai standard kesehatan maka akan berdampak penularan penyakit.  Pemberdayaan ini dilakukan di Serikat Buruh Migran Indonesia (SBMI) Desa Benculuk Kecamatan Cluring Banyuwangi  Provinsi Jawa Timur. Penentuan lokasi penelitian  ditentukan secara purposive di kabupaten Banyuwangi merupakan salah satu kabupaten dari tujuh kabupaten di Jawa Timur pengirim pekerja migran ke luar negeri. Pengumpulan data meliputi  observation  dan indepth interview. Informan yang dipilih adalah individu-individu yang memiliki pengetahuan dan pengalaman tentang permasalahan yang diteliti. Terakhir adalah analisa data  yaitu data yang terkumpul kemudian diklasifikasikan dan diindentifikasikan berdasarkan tema kemudian dianalisa.Hasil studi ini menunjukkan bahwa calon PMI belum memiliki pengetahuan tentang penyakit menular yang disebabkan oleh interaksi yang tidak tepat. Interkasi yang tepat akan mencegah terjadinya penularan penyakit. Apalagi informasi penularan penyakit tidak disampaikan pada pelaksanaan Pembekalan Akhir Pemberangkatan (PAP) dan tidak didukung dengan menggunakan media pengajaran seperti video, simulasi dan hanya menggunakan metode ceramah. Demikian materi yang disampaikan tidak sesuai dengan modul pegangan instruktur. Dengan adanya pemberdayaan dikalangan calon PMI terkait dengan bahaya penyakit menular perlu adanya kiat-kiat untuk menghindarinya dengan membatasi interaksi di negara tujuan.

Abstract Since the WHO declared the COVID-19 pandemic on December 1, 2019, the first group to be laid off were migrant workers. For migrant workers who are laid off one way is to return to their country of origin, including Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI). For PMIs who work undocumented, they must be deported. PMI departed undocumented, mostly from Sampang, Madura, East Java. The number of PMI from Sampang who have been deported since COVID 19 took place was 886 people. To respond to this situation, research on improving the survival mechanism of the post-employee PMI in marketing the products of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) through the use of social media in the district of Sampang, Madura, East Java, contributes to their survival. This research method begins with conducting a Focus Group Discussion to map out the difficulties of post-employee PMI in marketing products so that they can find the right marketing solutions, especially through the use of social media. The FGD involved stakeholders among retired PMIs such as the Indonesian Migrant Workers Union (SBMI), the industry office, BP2MI, the cooperative service, village heads, religious leaders from Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and youth organizations. Furthermore, in-depth interviews and observations were carried out. The last stage is to analyze the data that correlates the data with the theory used in reviewing the survival mechanism, namely community empowerment. The result of the research is that the recycled handicraft products of garbage and chips, crackers and various types of food using mass media as a medium to disseminate local product marketing content will be optimized by residents, so that local residents get sufficient correct and useful information as a reference. One of the uses of PMI's post-duty mass media is making the Shopee application. They have learned to make products for social media, starting with compiling video scripts, designing marketing posters, and packaging. Shopee has various types of promo programs that buyers can enjoy, such as discount promos and free shipping. Thus, the retired PMI will be trained to produce and market their business as their survival mechanism.
