AbstractMalaysia is the main destination for most of Indonesian domestic workers, due to
a close connection of geographical proximity, historical and cultural between
Indonesia and Malaysia. The high demand for domestic workers in Malaysia
makes low skilled and low educated workers in Indonesia migrate to Malaysia.
Unfortunately, domestic workers in Malaysia are vulnerable to exploitation and
violations of human rights, which can be observed from number of cases and
issues that affect the domestic workers in Malaysia. This research discusses how
international law, the national law of Indonesia and Malaysia and also the bilateral
agreement between the two countries governs the protection of Indonesian
domestic sector workers in Malaysia
