Abstract

This paper aims to examine the elimination process of traditional conservation that has been built for many years by women on peatlands. This article reveals the struggle and multiple burdens of women in conservation, to do reproductive and productive work in the midst of clashing interests in peatland area. Research conducted shows that there is a shift in the mode of production from subsistence toward exploitative hegemony by capitalistic interests, as a product of modern scientific knowledge. Corporations compete for peatland areas to accumulate endless capital which then threatens the purun and the purun weaving community of women. This has not only led to degradation of the purun ecosystem but also the loss of source of life and cultural identity for the purun weaving community. From an ecofeminist perspective, investment policies and regimes with minimum controls have systematically destroyed peat ecosystems, resulting in economic powerlessness and impoverishment of women.

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

In time of emergency, gender based and sexual violence are common occurrence, including in the form of child marriage; schooling is disrupted for a considerable period of time and children are falling behind in their education and they have less opportunity to be together and play with their friends; plus, sexual and reproductive health are not normally receiving adequate attention. Participation of children and adolescents, boys and girls, is not only a matter of fulfillment of child rights but is in fact central for the success of humanitarian response. This writing attempts to analyse the impact of disaster on the fulfillment of child rights, especially the rights to protection and free from violence, education, health, play and participation and be heard, by using the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child as the framework. Gender, inequality and vulnerability lens are used as analytical tools. The method used is literature study, whilst the data and learning from the two major disasters in Indonesia occurred in 2018, the earthquake in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara province and earthquake, tsunami & liquefaction in Central Sulawesi province are used as the main materials for analysis.

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.

Abstract

This paper emphasizes the importance of affirmative action to encourage women leadership, which is important to start from early age. Until now, women still face challenges in taking leadership position even to make decisions for themselves. From the age of children, the space for women has been limited due to patriarchal system which discriminates against women in almost every aspect of life including social, culture, politics, education and so on. This paper will specifically examines an example of affirmative action, namely Girls Take Over campaign, that aims to encourage girls’ leadership in Indonesia. The study analyses how GTO campaign in 2019 can increase girls’ leadership and agency among girls participants and how this campaign can also increase public support to empower girls. The analysis is based on secondary data from activity reports and empirical data from interviews with GTO 2019 participants including the girls and the leaders whose positions are taken over. The analysis is based on power relations theory, leadership theory, participation and safe space. The results of the analysis indicate that a GTO can increase the girls’ agency and power to fight for gender equality. They feel empowered, capable to lead and and safe to make decision. In addition, the campaign helpsopen the perspective of the leaders and their support to girls’ to speak up, lead and decide. This campaign shape opinion that safe space is important for girls to advance their leadership. It also forces the environment to accept the idea that women leadership is very important and it has to start from child-age.

Abstract

The analytical view exploers in this paper represent the perspective of subsistent farmers in NTT Province when integrated with market economy. It tries to explain why the subsistent community are so vulnerable to become migrant workers and uprooted from their land; it is also attempt to investigate the relation between economic policy on free labour market with death and torture received by migrant workers. While the victims, especially women and children, are publicized and attracted attention from mass media and also social media. However, the publication over the suffering of migrant workers from the margin of Indonesia such as NTT Province, does not get direct impact over the policy makers with the willingness to renew regulation to protect migrant workers. This paper focuses on investigating why the poor migrant women and children are being neglected by policy makers under the neoliberalorder. It also tries to explain why the subsistent members are easily uprooted from their land and become migrant workers during modernization. It also tries to answer why the are often in position as the losers or victims during globalization. The hope that the State is able to protect the vulnerables is fading away under the domination of pro market policy. Children and women as the silent victims are the evidence of absolute surrender of the subsistent community. State incapacity to protect the most vulnerable citizens is the evidence of the coming of new wave of neocolonialism. This is also a proof the modernization is also part of conquering whenhalf-hearted modernization has placed them at the bottom of the pyramid of modernity which is vulnerable to be exploited without the ability to speak and to be listened.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the countries of origin for migrant workers in the world. In the context of migration, the discourse on natural resources, sustainable economy, and women’s impowerment are not the mainstream discussion. The resilience or economic sustainability of returnee women migrant workers (RWMWs) is also a major problem in migration policy schemes and practices inIndonesia. This paper explores how the model of economic empowerment in Kenanga Village, Indramayu District, as a local initiative can bring welfare toward RWMWs and goes beyond the discourse of safe migration. The data in this research analyzed using Harvard and Longwee’ gender analysis tools as well as indicator of gender mainstreaming, and Naila Kabeer’s theory of empowerment. This paper finds that local initiatives of productive economy have a positive impact on the economic sustainability of RWMWs in Kenanga Village. It is important to develop economic resilience as an alternative to alleviate poverty. However, in the empowerment program,it is important to consider various aspects of gender justice.

Abstract

The Law No. 1 year of 1974 on Marriage Law had set the minimum age for marriage of 16 years old for women and 19 years old for men. This minimum age for setting up marriage is not only a form of legalization for conducting child marriage, but also a form of legalized gender-based discrimination, particularly against girls. In 2019, the Law was finally revised thus the discriminating set of minimumage for marriage was abolished, and the minimum age was set into 19 years old for both women and men. Koalisi 18+ is a civil society network in Indonesia, which work to abolish legalized child marriage through the revision of Marriage Law. They work through judicial review of the Marriage Law at the Constitutional Court, and also through encouraging revision of the Marriage Law at the parliament(DPR). This article describes and analyze the key discourses appeared during the effort to abolish and revise the Marriage Law No.1 Year 1974 through child’s rights and feminist legal approaches.

Abstract

This qualitative study analyzes the involvement of female perpetrators of extreme violence acts and suicide bombings against the modern state as a symbol of their religious enemies. The topic is crucial as it shows the meaningful reasons for female militancy, where women are seen to exceed their gender norms. It is not because they take their own lives but also to bring their children to embrace death in the process of religious-based violent extremism. This article opposes the idea of gender in binary opposition as female and male, but rather see it as a range of gender spectrum. The understanding of the main symbolic structures here is crucial as it is capable of dismantling aspects that temporarily limit gender roles. At the same time, what they are doing is constructing new ideas that “God do not see you in someone appearance” included their gender, but rather their “action”. It is their way to find justification to support extreme violence, although it is against religious teaching.
