He conveyed the statement after a bilateral meeting with Vietnam’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nguyen Minh Hang, in Nha Trang City, Vietnam.
3. Govt Urged to Probe Alleged Human Trafficking in German Internship Scam
Beranda Perempuan and Beranda Migran, NGOs actively promoting and defending the rights of women and migrants, expressed concern over alleged human trafficking under the guise of internships in Germany. At least 1,047 students from 33 universities across Indonesia are suspected of being the victims.
Zubaidah, Director of Beranda Perempuan Indonesia, urged all parties involved to take responsibility and called for a thorough investigation. She alleged that universities were complicit in this ruthless practice.
“They (students) are trapped in this fake internship program because of the university's interference. Students are treated as educational experimental objects to be arbitrarily mobilized to meet the need for manual labor in Germany,” Zubaidah said in her official statement on Sunday, March 24. Beranda Perempuan is currently assisting the survivors at the Jambi University.
