Abstract

This research aims to explore the impact of women’s trafficking as a threat to mental health in the context of an increasingly broad concept of security in the era of globalization. The idea of security is now not only limited to military aspects, but also includes other areas such as health security. Mental health is an essential part of health security, where depression is a severe threat to victims of human trafficking, especially for trafficked women. This research uses qualitative methods to analyze the impact of women's trafficking as a threat to mental health on the Entikong border, Indonesia. The research method used in this research is a qualitative descriptive approach using literature studies and other supporting documents. The study results show that trafficking in women threatens victims’ mental health through psychological and physical violence, as well as the risk of diseases such as HIV/AIDS. This causes trauma that leads to depression, detrimental to the mental health and safety of the victims. As a recommendation, cooperation is needed to improve the mental health of victims and reduce human trafficking, especially at the Entikong border, Indonesia.
