This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Pre Departure Orientation program conducted by the Service and Protection Post for Indonesian Migrant Workers (P4MI) Malang in preventing violence against Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia. The research argues that while the orientation program plays a significant role in enhancing awareness, mental readiness, and knowledge of protection mechanisms among migrant workers, there are still notable shortcomings in delivery style, content focus, and training duration that hinder its full potential. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive method and guided by the Context, Input, Process, Product (CIPP) evaluation model, the research involved in-depth interviews with five Indonesian migrant workers who participated in the program. The findings reveal that although the program has strengthened participants confidence and understanding of violence risks and reporting mechanisms, variations in participant’ experiences indicate inconsistencies in content delivery, engagement, and accessibility. The study concludes that the program is generally effective as a preventive tool, but requires improvements in training methods and materials to better meet the diverse needs of prospective migrant workers and ensure their protection abroad.
