Abstract

This research is aimed at explaining the reality reflected in the phenomena of women trafficking related to matrilineal system owned by Minangkabau people in West Sumatera. The objective is to identify the factors influencing the existence of women trafficking in Minangkabau society. The research is conducted in West Sumatera (Padang, Tanah Datar, and Lima Puluh Kota). The data are collected by interviewing the society. Any documents related to women trafficking and some other related references are used as the supporting information for the analysis. Having analyzed the data, it is found that there are four factors influencing the existence of women trafficking in West Sumatera namely (1) the shifting of interpretation on local wisdom; (2) no regeneration of Minangkabau tradition; (3) rapid flow of technology; and (4) shifting of life style.
