Abstract

Pandemic Covid-19 effect on economic side as many crime cases reported. One of these crimes is human trafficking. However, in many cases of human trafficking, parents are often the main actors selling their daughters. Therefore, the children do have not the bravery to refuse their parents' orders. It is because rejecting parent's orders is disobedient and results in sins. This paper seeks to analyze how the relationship between parents and daughters influences the practice of human trafficking. To illustrate human trafficking by parents, we used the theoretical framework of Shulamith Firestone on Radical Feminism which states that the bond between children and parents is a form of oppression. This research used a qualitative approach with case study and literature methods. As the result of the study, the authors concluded that there is a wrong interpretation of the command to do good to parents taught in Islam. Children can refuse parents’ orders that do not follow Islam's core teachings, which teach goodness, justice, and benefit. In the economic factor, the desire to improve the family's economic welfare also makes the daughter decide to work as a migrant worker. They have no power to refuse their parent wishes to help the family financially.
