Security protection for TKI?

From Warta Kota

Reports on Indonesian migrant workers (TKI), particularly women, who have become a target of extortion and robbery upon their arrival home, should arouse our concern.

After leaving their families for several years of hard work, they still have to face such mishaps. Stories of rape and torture of female workers by their employers abroad add to the tragedy.

In my view, it is necessary to make special security arrangements for the protection of TKI returning home, particularly during the run-up to Idul Fitri. Their ports of arrival and subsequent destinations are clearly known.

In this way, the government would not only appreciate TKI in terms of their foreign exchange contribution, but also within a humanitarian context.
