BANYUWANGI - Two Indonesian women from the east Javanese town of Banyuwangi working abroad, in Indonesia popularly known as 'TKW', were forced into prostitution when they were caught up in human trafficking. Both of the women were employed in a pub in Malaysia. The young women (24 and 26 years old) were forced into prostitution somewhere in eastern Malaysia without receiving salaries.
The case was discovered after one of the women, only known as TS, succeeded in calling her older brother which also works somewhere in eastern Malaysia. TS called her brother from a mobile phone that she had put in her underwear to avoid detection. Soon after the brother reported this to the police the pub was raised. Both women from Banyuwangi were brought to safety and were transferred to the Indonesian embassy in Kuala Lumpur.
"In fact we did bring more than just those two women to safety, there were also women from outside Banyuwangi," said the head of police Ery Nursatari in a press meeting earlier on Monday. Based on investigations both the women have a legal passport which were sent to Malaysia in an illegal way. The police also arrested Suwiyono, the middleman which recruited the two women.
