Perempuan pembantu rumah tangga (PRT) dipandang sebagai potret buram perempuan saat ini. Keberadaan PRT diselimuti oleh berbagai persoalan struktural seperti kemiskinan, diskriminasi, ideologi patriarki, feodalisme dan kelas. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui kondisi kesehatan kerja PRT di Surabaya. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif dengan melakukan wawancara mendalam kepada informan kunci. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kapasitas kerja, beban kerja, dan beban tambahan yang diterima PRT menjadikan PRT disebut sebagai “pekerja yang serba bukan” karena posisi “marginal” dari status sekaligus posisi PRT. Selain itu, sampai saat in, di Surabaya PRT belum mendapat perlindungan hukum. Sebagai gambaran bahwa pekerjaan PRT masih belum dianggap sebagai profesi yang layak yang diatus secara khusus sebagaimana profesi-profesi yang lain.
