In West Java, authorities reported 60 human trafficking cases during the first half of 2026, marking an increase from previous years. In response, the provincial government has implemented measures including the creation of a Human Trafficking Task Force and a moratorium on the departure of female migrant workers with young children. Support services, such as legal and psychological assistance, are being provided to victims, including those involved in cases involving trafficking to East Nusa Tenggara.

Broadening the scope of prevention, Indonesian immigration authorities have launched regional initiatives to combat trafficking and the departure of non-procedural migrant workers. In Yogyakarta, the ‘Immigration-Guided Villages’ program provides counseling and education to verify the legality of overseas job offers. Additionally, in Jakarta, efforts have focused on strengthening inter-agency coordination and data synergy to improve the efficiency of immigration services and information exchange.
