Abstract

This research discusses the misinterpretation of oko mama culture and the implementation of oko mama culture to prevent human trafficking in the South Central Timor Regency. This research aims to know about the form of oko mama culture’s interpretation in human trafficking cases and how the proper application of culture prevents human trafficking. This research method uses empirical legal research, which is descriptive, evaluative characteristic with a qualitative approach from an interview and direct observation of the community in North Amanatun, South Central Timor Regency. This research shows that recruiters have often misinterpreted cultural practice as a modus operandi of migrant workers’ recruitment, leading to human trafficking and negatively impacting the victims and their families. Every law enforcer and the public can use the implementation of criminal policy through value return and optimization of oko mama as a legal culture to develop various factors that cause the recruitment of non-procedural migrant workers. A legal system can protect the community from trafficking in South Central Timor Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province.
