Abstract

The most crucial issue in entering the 2015 AEC was the problem of human trafficking within the territory of ASEAN countries. It is an act of recruiting, transporting, sheltering, shipping, transferring or receiving a person with threats of violence, the use of force, abduction, capture, falsification, fraud, abuse of power of vulnerable positions, debt bondage or payment or benefit, to gain control of the person, whether committed within the state or between countries for the purpose of exploitation or exploitation of the persons. Thus, human trafficking is an act of exploiting humans for treating people not as human beings. If left unchecked, it will harm various aspects, either economic aspects, humanitarian aspects, social, political, legal or human rights violations. It is also one of the worst forms of violation of human dignity and prestige. This is evident from very few peoples reports on trafficking, but when repatriation of Indonesians who work illegally in Malaysia (illegal migrants according to Malaysian security officials) is proved to be a great deal coming from Sambas District. According to an official report by the Womens Empowerment and Family Planning Office of Sambas District, the case of trafficking of persons from Sambas District tends to increase, which are 17 cases (2011), 16 cases (2012), 18 cases (2013), and 39 cases (2014) and 1st year 2015 has reached 16 cases. The community usually reports to the local government and police officers if something has happened that resulted in the death of the victim (sick) or of being killed abroad.
