Human trafficking is one of the forms of transnational crime that poses a serious threat to human rights, national security, and social order. The development of globalization and the increasing mobility of people across countries have caused trafficking crimes to evolve into more complex and organized forms. The Indonesian government has issued various policies to prevent human trafficking through strengthening regulations, cross-sector supervision, and inter-agency cooperation. This study aims to analyze the implementation of policies to prevent human trafficking in Indonesia and to identify obstacles and optimization efforts in implementing such policies from the perspective of law and national security. The research method used is normative legal research with statutory and conceptual approaches. Data were obtained through literature studies by reviewing laws and regulations, scientific journals, books, and other relevant legal sources. The results show that the implementation of anti-trafficking policies has been carried out through strengthening regulations, establishing task forces, supervising migrant worker departure routes, and increasing inter-agency cooperation. However, the implementation still faces several obstacles such as weak supervision, low public awareness, limited human resources, and increasingly complex trafficking modes. Therefore, optimization efforts are needed through strengthening inter-agency coordination, improving supervision, public education, and utilizing information technology to support the effectiveness of preventing human trafficking in Indonesia.
