Abstract

This research explores the cultural-politics dynamics of Indonesian male domestic workers in Malaysia as they confront and challenge societal prejudices while taking on fatherhood-associated responsibilities. It delves into the obstacles these men face due to ingrained gender stereotypes that question their suitability for domestic roles, particularly in a foreign cultural context. The primary objective is to understand how these men redefine their identities and assert their roles as nurturers and providers, challenging traditional masculine ideals. This study uses a qualitative research design and a narrativization approach to explore the experiences of Indonesian male domestic helpers. Through in-depth interviews and personal narratives, the research reveals how these men navigate their roles as caregivers and fathers, challenging traditional gender norms and gaining recognition within their households and communities. The study also highlights the importance of upholding cultural ties and personal resilience in their experiences as migrant domestic workers.

Both manuscript does not directly discuss about the concept of leadership and dismantle patriarchy but is relevantly integrated into praxis progressive women's empowerment based on a more inclusive interpretation of customs and openness to the potential of Balinese women to become leaders based on The five loyalties Hinduism that consist of Loyalty to conscience (Padma Hardhaya), Loyalty to conscience (Satya Wacana), Loyalty to promises (Satya Semaya), Loyalty to people (Satya Mitra), and loyalty to responsibility/trust (Satya Laksana).
