In the last decade, Indonesia has become one of “the unskilled” migrant workers country of origin. The issue of migrant domestic workers related to their competence and protection. On the other side, human trafficking - men and women, adults and children - have evolved somewhat in scope and magnitude that it is now the focus of international initiatives, regional and national to counter human trafficking. This study aimed to link the process of preparing migrant domestic workers, especially women with gender inequality and vulnerability to exploitation and trafficking. The study used exploratory qualitative research approach by doing data collection, analysis, and drawing conclusions based on the results of the analysis. Data were obtained through field observations, interviews and document research. The data obtained were analyzed using Actor-Network Theory (ANT). The results showed a pattern of preparation and placement for confirming that exploitation has occurred since migrant domestic workers are still in the country and when they work for their employer. There is a gap of knowledge between prospective migrant domestic workers and recruitment and placement actors that made their relationship became not equitable and being subordinated by recruitment and placement actors.
