Best Experiences for an Action Research Process 90 Chapter 17. Managing the Anti-trafficking Campaign: Breakthrough into Transparency of Local Government Policy (the Case of Farmer’s Voice Radio Network JRSP in West Java Province). By Dina Listiorini (44) The problem of women and children trafficking has become an important challenge which should be addressed as soon as possible. At the moment, Indonesia is ranked second highest country for illegal human trafficking in the Human Trafficking Reports which were released by US State Department in 2007. West Java province is placed at the second level on human trafficking in Indonesia, after East Java province. The International Labour Organization Report from 2004 stated that the children who become sex workers came from Indramayu, Subang, Cirebon, Banten, Karawang, Cianjur, Sukabumi, Kuningan dan Bandung. The worst provincial government record s that of the government of West Java Province which did not have a local act constituting human trafficking, although Law No. 21/2007 on Combating Criminal Acts of Trafficking in Persons was launched in April 2007. Mrs. Yurinda Hidayat, or Mrs. Ida, the coordinator of Farmer’s Voice Radio Network (JRSP)
91 Best Experiences for an Action Research Process is aware that West Java is a potential area for human trafficking, especially for women and children. She said that the dissemination of information on human trafficking has not spread into the villages yet. From the perspective of the local communities, people living in the villages do not know the legal way to get a job without the services of a broker. According to her, the recruiting activities of brokers may be increasing in the villages. Realizing the importance of the trafficking problem in West Java and at the same time becoming aware that the area is now under the JRSP coordination radios, Mrs. Ida worked together with some stakeholders to arrange a campaign against human trafficking. The first program was making public service advertisements (PSA). This program was carried out together with JRSP, the Department of National Education and an NGO, Medianet. The public service advertisements consisted of integrated information, some of it was short dramas in Indonesian and local Sundanese language. The dramas were played out by men and women from community radios from Majalengka and Kabupaten Bandung. The PSA, formatted into a CD, has been aired everyday by every community radio under JRSP’s coordination. The second step taken by JRSP to share the knowledge about human trafficking to the members was to hold a jamboree. This program was set up not only for the radio manager and staff but also for the listeners as representatives of the public. The jamboree was held for four days in Subang, West Java. The two radio stations under JRSP coordination that I visited campaign against human trafficking. The radios are Citra Utami community radio, located in Cianjur, and Jati Anom community radio (JTA radio) in Indramayu, both in West Java province. Citra Utami used a local women’s forum (arisan) to discuss everything related to human trafficking. These women, by taking turns, discussed and spoke to the community directly from the studio. They talked and discussed issues related to the village government’s policy toward society, such as how to overcome or how to handle human trafficking problems in Cianjur, or about the identity card treatment cost clarification and clarification of rice distribution for the poor. Citra Utami therefore became a mediator for the problems between community members and the local government. JTA FM Radio had local government officials participate in the radio shows to talk about anti human trafficking. One of them is Camat (Camat is a head of government at the district level).
