Abstract
<p><em>In Lampung, Indonesia's sixth-largest province, most migrant workers are women from the informal sector who face challenges such as non-procedural departures, unpaid wages, fraud, harassment, and human trafficking. UUPMI No. 18/2017 was enacted to ensure the protection of migrant workers and their families. This study aims to examine two aspects: first, the implementation of Article 42 of UUPMI No. 18/2017 regarding local government responsibilities, and second, the obstacles hindering the law’s enforcement. Utilizing both normative and empirical legal approaches, the study draws on primary data from field investigations and secondary data from literature research, analyzed qualitatively. The findings indicate that Article 42 is only partially implemented, with village administrations failing to fully uphold their duties due to limited personnel. Consequently, migrant farm workers from rural areas have restricted access to social programs, education, and essential resources. Furthermore, provincial, district, and municipal governments demonstrate poor coordination and insufficient data sharing, impeding effective protection of migrant workers.</em></p>
