Yayasan Advokasi Buruh Migran Indonesia

The ADBMI Foundation is the first locally based non-profit civil society organisation in East Lombok that focuses on the issue of migrant workers and human trafficking, with a rights-based movement and the needs of victims. It was founded and formed by caring individuals, human rights activists, former migrant workers, Islamic boarding school circles, and victims of migrant workers.

ADBMI has been active since 2000 with 3 assisted villages. In 2004, ADBMI increased the number of assisted villages to 6 villages, and this continues to increase along with the growth and development of the organisation. To date, ADBMI has pushed for the issuance of 24 Village Regulations (Perdes) for the Protection of Migrant Workers and Their Families. For the piloting, ADBMI has facilitated and organised the formation of CBO (Community Base Organization) in 32 villages out of 254 villages in East Lombok Regency. ADBMI has 82 trained paralegals who can at any time help victims/families of migrant workers in their respective communities to access justice.
