Indonesia

Indonesia is one of Asia's largest emigration countries. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people leave in search of better job prospects and a better life. Many of these people are exposed to risks such as abuse, exploitation and human trafficking. Indonesia is also frequently affected by earthquakes and floods, which make living conditions considerably more difficult.

AWO International focuses on safe migration and strengthening the rights of migrants in Indonesia. We also support local organisations in providing disaster relief and establishing sustainable prevention programmes in communities to reduce the impact of natural disasters.

Strengthening Protection and Supporting the Successful Reintegration of Migrant Workers

Many people from Lombok seek work abroad in order to support their families. However, migration carries risks, especially for undocumented migrants. ADBMI and AWO International are committed to protecting the safety and rights of migrants and their families.

Strengthening joint efforts to protect the rights of Indonesian migrant workers

Although laws and international conventions exist to protect Indonesian migrant workers, their implementation on the ground is inadequate. Together with its Indonesian partner organisation Migrant CARE, AWO International campaigns for the rights of Indonesian migrant workers.

Building Bridges for Indonesian Migrant Workers’ Security

Limited socio-economic opportunities in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) drive thousands to seek work abroad for better prospects. However, many go undocumented and unaware of their rights, ending up abused and exploited. AWO International and PPK aim to ensure migrants are properly protected and have alternative livelihood options upon their return home.

Protecting migrant women from Lombok from human trafficking and violence

Poverty and a lack of job opportunities in many communities on the island of Lombok push people to migrate to seek better economic prospects; a large percentage of these migrants often become victims of human traffickers. Together with our partner organization – ADBMI, we are implementing a project to protect migrating women and men.
