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

Seen as a breakthrough in protecting migrant workers, of whom are predominantly female, Law No. 18/2017 on the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers (The Migrant Workers Act of 2017), replacing Law No. 39/2004, is not void of imperfections. Prima facie, the act may be seen as progressive development in protecting Indonesian migrant workers, having embraced the many experiences and realities their profession entails. However, upon investigating the Act under the careful lens of Feminist Jurisprudence as well as other national legal instruments for gender equality, the Migrant Workers Act of 2017 still provides unsatisfactory details in regardsto the protection of female workers; if the government does not quickly act by making corresponding regulations, the Act will in fact, introduce us to new problems from what was seen as a one-size fits all solution. In its implementation, legal literacy becomes one ofthe most profound challenges the 2017 Act faces. Field research findings in three areas (Sukabumi, Lampung, and Jakarta) show that legal literacy on this Act remains sparse. This article will address problems in regards to the 2017 Act, its implementation, and solutionsto develop more tangible legal instruments in protecting Indonesian migrant workers, in particular, women, who, in foreign lands, often face the risk of violence and abuse on a daily basis with little to no protection.

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.

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 Covid-19 pandemic has had a very serious impact, because it is very massive, which has occurred in almost all countries and at all levels and groups of society. Disasters have a strong social dimension, especially in relation to vulnerability which often intersects with existing social stratification. In various disasters, women are among the groups most vulnerable to being affected, especially if the patriarchal culture is still strong and intertwined with misogynistic interpretations of religion and an economic and political system that is not friendly to women. This paper looks at the extent of the impacts of this pandemic on women, and how state regulations exist to deal with these impacts, as well as what efforts are being made by women both individually and in groups. This research was conducted by collecting documentation from various research results that have been conducted by several institutions, observation and interviews with several women at various levels and backgrounds. The results of this study indicate that women are the most vulnerable group and most affected by the Covid-19 Pandemic. Although it was a bit late, the government involved women in decision-making with a special mandate, regarding the handling of women, children and vulnerable groups. Women's experiences both individually and colletively through organizations in respond to this pandemic deserve paresiasi. Women in a pandemic situation have uniqueness in dealing with a pandemic in a more creative, resilient manner and also implementing a sisterhood.

Abstract

Tulisan ini membahas tentang urgensi perspektif gender dalam menganalisis dan menangani masalah pandemic covid-19 di Indonesia. Ini penting dilakukan karena minimnya perspektif gender dalam penanganan covid-19 di Indonesia dan mengakibatkan ketimpangan gender makin menajam. Minimnya perspektif gender ini dapat dirasakan terutama dalam mengatasi dampak covid yang spesifik dialami perempuan. disamping itu juga isu-isu gender yang terjadi lintas sektor, misalnya isu gender di sektor ekonomi, kesehatan, pendidikan dan keterlibatan dalam pengambilan keputusan.  Data, analisis dan strategi yang dijadikan rujukan utama dalam tulisan ini adalah pengalaman Institut KAPAL Perempuan bersama organisasi yang selama ini bekerjasama secara intensif di 7 provinsi. Dalam rangka mengkontekskan memperluas konteks, tulisan ini juga merujuk pada dokumen pengalaman beberapa pihak dalam mengintegrasikan perspektuf gender dalam mitigasi bencana alam yang pernah terjadi di Jogja, Sumatera Barat, Palu dan Lombok.

Abstract

The author argues for using a new theoretical foundation and criticizes Gender Mainstreaming perspective in issues related to gender. The author proposes an intersectionality approach that can critically see the problem of Covid-19 and its implications to not only gender relations (men and women) but also race, ethnicity, class, LGBTQIA, and other minority groups. The author emphasizes the concept of critical praxis, which uses both critical questions and activism for total social change.
