Dr. Antje Missbach’s talk sheds light on people-smuggling recruiters in Indonesia who help supply new clients to transnational people-smuggling networks. Two cases studies will be presented offering a look at what happens to rejected asylum seekers who are stuck in transit in Indonesia without any legal rights to employment; unable to return to their home countries and having no opportunity to successfully gain refuge in a new country, these migrants find themselves faced with entering criminal business networks as a last resort to making a living.
