Abstract
This study examines the implementation of human rights protection policies for Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) in the border region of Riau Islands Province. The research aims to analyze how PMI human rights protection policies are implemented in border areas with unique characteristics and identify factors influencing policy implementation effectiveness. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data was collected through in-depth interviews with key informants from BP3MI Riau Islands Province, literature review, and documentation. The analysis employed Miles and Huberman's interactive model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that policy implementation in the Riau Islands faces significant challenges across four key factors: communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. Major obstacles include severe human resource constraints with only 28 employees handling complex PMI issues, geographical challenges due to numerous islands and unofficial ports facilitating illegal departures, inter-agency coordination problems caused by sectoral ego, and the complexity of border area problems involving both legal and illegal PMI cases. Despite these challenges, BP3MI Riau Islands has developed adaptive strategies including integrated teams at embarkation points, post-PMI empowerment programs, and strengthened prevention efforts through education and socialization. The study concludes that effective PMI human rights protection in border areas requires comprehensive approaches addressing resource limitations, improving inter-agency coordination, and implementing preventive strategies to reduce human rights violations.
