J. The Global Challenges and Their
Impact on Human Rights Violations
of Vulnerable Groups
Indonesia have institutions with a special mandate to protect certain vulnerable groups. However, the existence
of these institutions is not sufficient
to provide responsive human rights
protection that is appropriate to the
characteristics of vulnerable groups.
Affirmation of the constitutional rights
of every vulnerable group is still hampered because legislative products are
not yet available that function to make
the required protection effective.
In this context, Komnas HAM RI continues to encourage the legality of
protecting domestic workers by accelerating the ratification of the Domestic Workers Protection Bill (RUU
PPRT). Komnas HAM RI also emphasizes the importance of affirmative
policies for vulnerable groups so that
they can exercise their right to vote in
the 2024 elections freely, fairly, transparently, and without discrimination.
The problems of vulnerable groups in
elections have not been adequately
Throughout 2023, Komnas HAM RI consistently
articulated a number of
activities that focus on
overcoming global challenges and their impact
articulated in election governance.
This includes specific needs of vulnerable groups that require the presence
of election organizers, such as access
to use voting rights, data collection,
special facilities and infrastructure,
lack of residence identity, security, etc.
In connection with sexual violence
which tends to increase in educational institutions, Komnas HAM RI establishes coordination and monitoring
based on the interests of victims. This
coordination and monitoring are carried out cross-sectoral with relevant
ministries/institutions and commissions. In addition, Komnas HAM RI
paid attention to the flow of Rohingya refugees entering Aceh Province
which gave rise to resistance from
residents. Furthermore, Komnas HAM
RI handles the problems experienced
by Indonesian migrant workers who
are vulnerable to becoming victims
of transnational crimes, especially crimes of human trafficking, drug
trafficking and terrorism. Throughout
2020–2022, Komnas HAM RI received
and verified 170 complaints, including
complaints of human trafficking.
on human rights violations
by vulnerable groups. The
Commission has prepared
a number of activities
aimed at addressing the
problems of refugees and
migrant workers who are
vulnerable to becoming
victims of various legal and
human rights problems
through a cross-cutting issues approach.
