Lhokseumawe is located in the northern part of Aceh province. It is known as the province that implemented and applied Syariah law. Most people are Muslims where women use hijab as their self-identity as a Muslim.
In fact, based on field observation, there were two districts; Banda Sakti and Muara Dua as the stopover and meeting point for transaction between commercial sex workers and customers. This is because there are still places where prostitution is done secretly and confidentially. This is also in line with news about conducting raids on immoral locations by residents at Lhokseumawe Mardani, The Lintas National news also reported about the police conducting raids on suspected sites in Lhokseumawe Fazil, The data from KPA Lhokseumawe showed that the total number of commercial sex workers were It is divided into two types, which were direct commercial sex workers work as the main job as 37 people and indirect commercial sex workers work not as the main job as 14 people.
It increased in to 43 people of direct commercial sex workers and 21 indirect commercial sex workers. However, the phenomenon above could contribute for social problem and negative impact toward young generation. The case of sex workers increases every year. How does this happen in Aceh that implements the syariah laws system? Therefore, in this study I would like to know the interpersonal communication patterns used by commercial sex workers in the process of transaction with customer as well as the barriers of communication interpersonal of commercial sex workers.
