Abstract

Ex-migrant workers are often found dealing with the lack of union that could cater their needs. These people that are mostly female are often excluded from the process of decision making in their own villages. In 2013, a program from civil society organization called Desbumi (Desa Peduli Buruh Migran or Migrant Workers Care Village) Initiative was launched in Wonosobo District, with the aim to improve migrant workers’ living conditions - especially female - through empowering female ex-migrant workers group. In 2016, a similar program called Desmigratif (Desa Migran Produktif or Productive Migrants Village) Initiative was spearheaded by the Ministry of Manpower, which shares the same goal with Desbumi Initiative. Building upon the debates surrounding the concept of sisterhood provided by Bell Hooks and Robin Morgan, this study discusses whether the top-down approach in organizing female ex-migrant workers residing in Kuripan, Lipursari, Rogojati, and Sindupaten Village through Desbumi and Desmigratif initiative could result in any forms of sisterhood formed during the implementation of the programs, and challenges that they faced along the way. This study found that characteristics associated with sisterhood of friendships were apparent in all female ex-migrant groups, signified by mutual support among women, shared experience, journey of self-discovery, and collective identity built upon similarities. On the discussion of challenges, several obstacles such as lack of regeneration, women’s domestic burden, and the issue of sustainability appeared along the journey of the sisterhood of ex-migrant workers.

Abstract

Women migrant workers have a significant role and contribution in driving migration, economy, and global development. Behind the remittance flows, women migrant workers are still overshadowed by the threats of various problems. The dimensions of the problems faced are increasingly complex as the depletion of mobility limits between countries, the increasing of securitization policy as well as the rapid progress of global development in social, economic, and political aspects. Through the literature review, this article intends to highlight the vulnerability of Indonesian women migrant workers from the perspective of migration and governance froma feminist perspective. The results of the review show that women migrant workers are still facing multidimensional vulnerability. This includes the actual conditions of women migrant workers facing injustice, violations of rights, affected by disruption of information-technology, and being center in the pandemic crisis. This condition also leads to the structural aspects related to protection’s policy and institutional issues that are not sensitive to the interests and the root of problems faced by women migrant workers.
