This research was conducted in Surabaya Municipality, Malang Regency, Jember Regency and Blitar Regency. Qualitative approach based on human rights with gender perspectives was used in this research. Primary data collected from focus group discussions that involved government apparatus, non governmental organizations, academicians, and also Indonesian migrant workers and their families. Secondary data collected from Kompas and Jawa Pos daily Newspaper. Normative data collected from regulations related to migrant workers in international level, and Indonesian migrant workers in national and provincial levels. Findings in this research was that there was a condition that had opened the opportunity of trafficking. Procedures on placement and protection for Indonesian migrant workers overseas had implemented through Act No. 39 / 2004 and provincial regulation No. 2/ 2004, however they were not strong enough to prevent trafficking. This denoted that all regulations had not yet guaranteed safe migration procedures. The research concluded that there was the need to have a revised edition on regulations to be based on human rights with gender perspectives. Thus, this might come up with special recommendation such as to have comprehensive policies to protect and fulfil the needs and interests of Indonesian migrant workers and their families; to simplify procedures on migration in order to avoid violence in fulfilling rights of Indonesian migrant workers and their families.
