Abstract

This paper discusses women's labor activities in trade union and the obstacles they encounter. The discussion focuses on the three roles caried out by women factory workers in domestic space as mothers and wives and in public space as laborers as well as activists of labor organizations. The information in this paper derived from observations of women factory workers’ activities in union organization and two ethnographic books on factory workers’ resistance. The subject was chosen because for more than two decades there was no significant changes in the position of women in the labor movement. The research questions of this paper are what are the obstacles for women workers to work and organize like male workers? Why are male workers so dominant, even in industries where the workforce is mostly women? How can women play the role as mothers, as workers and as leaders of labor organizations? The results of the analysis show the role and stereotype of gender in patriarchal societies within labor organizations is a barrier for women to become a significant player in the labor movement. However, strong determination for women to fight injustice supported by personal qualities proves that women are able to perform in the triple activities all at once.

Abstract

There are two problems that often emerge in public discussions about the recent trends in the level of participation of the female labor force in Indonesia. The first is the low Indonesian female labour force partipation rate (FLFPR) compared to other ASEAN countries. The second is the trend of stagnation of Indonesian FLFPR—at around 51%—over almost three decades. By reviewing cross-country data from the Global Gender Gap Index and the International Labor Organization, this article rests on the argument that the two features of Indonesian FLFPR are not merely bad news, and should be read in the context of large economic growth and social change in Indonesia. But a more critical and thorough interpretation of the trend of this indicator does not deny the fact that there is still wide room to improve women's economic participation and opportunity in Indonesia.

Abstract

By conducting descriptive statistical analysis and the establishment of two econometric models, this study proves that the marginalization of women in the Indonesian labor market still occurs even though the quality of Indonesian women from the level of education and work participation is increasing. The phenomenon of marginalization of women is characterized by 1) the wage gap due to gender differences, namely the wages received by female workers are lower than male workers for all types of work; 2) the chances of men to find work are far higher than women in the Indonesian labor market. The study concludes that the wage gap due to gender differences is not due to competition in the labor market but rather due to the assumption that working women are secondary and supplementary breadwinners in their households, and the role that they can be play is only an extension of their domestic role. Thus, the main cause of the marginalization of women in the labor market is the low awareness of gender equality, something which has already taken root in Indonesia.

Abstract

 This article analyses the meaning of the tutur of the female anti-gold mining troop from Praikaroku Jangga Village, Central Sumba Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. This manuscript is important, because there are a lot of women's activisms at the local level that are not recorded in the history of women's movements in the post-1998 Indonesian reformation. This study is a postcolonial feminist ethnography, where the main basis of its analysis is a postcolonial feminist. The identity of women’s resistance is a subaltern, where their struggle goes beyond a rejection of the gold mining corporation. The study shows that the direction of resistance is leading to food sovereignty. To maintain their endanger living space, the women's troop is only connected by oral speeches of tradition. The postcolonial feminist analyzes dis/interconnectivity between the interests of the state, local-national-global economic-political linkages. The study shows that the women are agencies in caring for natural resources.

Abstract

The main question in this article is how is the achievement of women political movements after 20 years of reformation in Indonesia? This article elaborates two things which are foundation reasons for examining why women movement in politics have stagnant position and offering strategic agenda that could be discussed for attracting young women in political arena. There are three main reasons to see women movement after Reformation 1998. First aspect is considering civil society characteristics and also party politics in Indonesia which are unique. Second issue is there are established political interaction between both organizations. Third issue are concerning on electoral competition that is important to highlight. That is how to endorse the winning of women candidates in each election could be achieved.

Abstract

Presidential Instruction (Inpres) No. 9 of 2000 about Gender Mainstreaming is a mechanism to in National Development has impacts on the planning and implementation of public policy in Indonesia. Public policy becomes an important arena for the struggle to realize gender equality and justice. One of the government’s commitments to this matter can be seen through Gender-Responsive Budgeting (GRB). This study analyses gender responsive budgeting in social protection programs in Indonesia, with case studies in three regions, namely Gunungkidul Regency, North Lombok Regency, and Padang City. Data collection is carried out by in-depth interviews and literature studies, including the Indonesian Budget and Regional Government Budget documents. This study conducted GRB analysis in three regions with three categories of budget expenditure analysis, namely specifically identified gender-based expenditure, equal employment opportunity expenditure, and mainstream budget expenditure. The results of the study show that in several regions there have been gender-responsive specific budget allocations for affirmation programs for women, children, the elderly, and dissability. However, it can be seen that the budget and gender-specific expenditure are still centralized in services that are identical to women's affairs, and not yet mainstreamed in all of the budget allocation.

Abstract

The increasing number of violence against women every year raises question about the effectiveness of intergrated service programs for the women victims of violence. The government established the Integrated Service Center for Women and Children Empowerment (P2TP2A) in 2002 supported by National Commission on Violence against Women (KOMNAS Perempuan) in the effort to provide protection and empowerment of women victims of violence. However, the increasingly diverse forms of violence against women have resulted in complex needs of the victims. The question arises whether the function and performance role of P2TP2A has fully answered the needs of victims or not. This article focuses on assessments conducted by KOMNAS Perempuan and Forum Pengada Layanan (FPL) in 16 provinces to re-examine the role of P2TP2A's functions and performance in meeting the needs of victims. Based on the findings of the assessment, there are still shortcomings in the system and performance of P2TP2A in providing victims’ needs, such as lack of awareness as service providers, coordination problems among institutions and limited budget. This assessment uses in-depth interviews and document studies, by including the lessons from the P2TP2A Surakarta city, Bandung district and Central Java Province.
