Abstract

The problems experienced by Indonesian female migrant workers both in their own country and in the destination country show how vulnerable they are to violence. Most of them are workers in the informal sector such as domestic and care workers, who are categorized as low-skilled workers. As a result of this categorization, they often experience discrimination and even violence. This is the impact of neglecting experiences, especially in fulfilling political rights, which hinders full access to policy guarantees that protect them. Data were collected using literature analysis and secondary research. This study uses a philosophical approach based on Sara Ahmed’s theory of affection and Nancy Fraser’s recognition of how the experiences of Indonesian female migrant workers need to include empathetic emotional values and recognition of the political rights of Indonesian female migrant workers. The findings of this article highlight the importance of fostering political awareness through the integration of affection and recognition in understanding and overcoming the political injustice of Indonesian female migrant workers.

Abstract

The migration of Indonesian migrant workers has brought positive contributions to economic development in both the countries of origin and destination of Indonesian migrant workers. In an effort to provide protection for Indonesian migrant workers, the government has issued Law Number 18 of 2017 concerning the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers and has carried out several protection initiatives. However, cases experienced by Indonesian migrant workers for 10 years actually show a lack of protection efforts for them. Women migrant workers in the informal sector are even more vulnerable to violence. This is due to the policy perspective that is more targeted at the area of economic gain than protection. Qualitative method exploration was carried out through the collection of literature study data and compilation of policy data for Indonesian migrant workers during the 10 years of President Joko Widodo’s administration. The findings of this study indicate that there is a lack of commitment to protection efforts due to the lack of involvement of the experiences of Indonesian migrant workers in the process and implementation of policies. This study also proposes further steps that need to be taken to improve policies and implementation related to the protection of migrant workers.

Abstract

Fisherwomen on the coast of Demak face various gender injustice amidst environmental crises and public policies that lack gender responsiveness. The Puspita Bahari community serves as a platform for fostering solidarity, advocacy, and grassroots leadership among these women fishers. This study was conducted in three villages supported by Puspita Bahari-Morodemak, Margolinduk, and Purworejo-located in the Bonang sub-district of Demak. By integrating the analysis of spatial, temporal, and violence dimensions (STV) within the feminist everyday political economy framework (Elias & Rai 2018) with the theoretical lens of collective action (Kabeer 2020), this paper examines how Puspita Bahari's collective action resists marginalisation and simultaneously promotes social transformation in the daily lives of coastal women. The research underscores the importance of recognising fisherwomen as agents of change, endowed with local knowledge and collective strength, in realising gender-just development. Incorporating their voices into policymaking processes is crucial for meaningful and sustainable social transformation
Antagonisasi Gerwani dan Ibuisme Negara: Strategi Rezim Orde Baru Membentuk Ingatan Kolektif dan Hegemoni Gender Aulia Rafika Husna; Anjanie Ardhana Adiyuka

Abstract

This paper explores how the New Order regime used the antagonization of Gerwani and the institutionalization of state ibuism as ideological strategies to shape collective memory and maintain the hegemony of gender power. Gerwani as a symbol of progressive women’s movement was erased from history through narratives of moral depravity and political threat. At the same time, the concept of state ibuism is institutionalized through organizations, such as Dharma Wanita and PKK with its inherent doctrine of subordination. This paper uses the process tracing method to trace the relationship between political repression, the formation of gender narratives, and the framing of women’s roles in the New Order social order. The results of the analysis show that the strategy was not only successful in suppressing critical women’s movements, but also in creating gender constructions in social memory and institutional structures in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article explains the experience of voicing women’s injustices in Indonesia during the New Order before the 1998 Reformation. It begins with the chronology of the author’s encounter on women’s issues and feminist perspective. These efforts were challenged by the State during the New Order. The State challenged those in several forms, such as interrogation, terror, and threats. This article analyzes women’s struggles using the concept of patriarchy from Walby and the politics of differentiation from Young. It also explains why the failure to fulfill one form of injustice for women, namely reproductive rights in the family planning program in Indonesia, became a point of contention between women’s issue activists and the State. Even though they faced challenges from the State, as long as the sense of injustice is still real, efforts to overcome the problem will continue to be carried out by women activists

Abstract

This article revisits the struggles of grassroots women during Indonesia’s New Order regime to highlight forms of feminist agency that were never formally labeled as “feminist.” Building on long-term fieldwork and reflections with rural women’s communities, it challenges elite-centered feminist historiography that privileges urban, middle-class, donor-supported organizations. Instead, it foregrounds the lived practices of subaltern women - defending communal land, sustaining livelihoods, and navigating the state ideology of Ibuisme Negara through everyday strategies of survival and resistance. These often-silent yet powerful acts demonstrate that feminism in Indonesia has always been broader than its official archives. By recovering and centering their narratives, this article offers a feminist historiography that is more inclusive, decolonial, and rooted in local agency - recognizing “unlabeled feminisms” as foundational to both past struggles and future movements.

Abstract

In discussing the nation-state, Nira Yuval Davis’ work provides an overview of how gender relations influence and are influenced by national projects and how women are positioned within them. The role and struggle of women’s organizations before and at the beginning of Indonesia’s independence can be seen from this analysis. This paper attempts to revisit the situation of the women’s movement during Indonesia’s independence. Does nationalism as an ideology domesticate or liberate women? Did the agenda of women’s organizations during that period run parallel to the nationalist agenda, or did it merge with the priority agenda of achieving independence? This paper finds that gender influences and is influenced by Indonesia’s national and nationalist projects through a discussion of various women’s organizations that existed at that time. This includes efforts to suppress and silence progressive and critical women’s movements of the time, including Gerwani, to prevent them from disrupting the political power structures of the era.

Abstract

This article reflects my involvement in Indonesia’s Islamic feminist movement through gender training activities in pesantren and a reevaluation of classical texts from a feminist perspective. In these ways, the concept of gender and key elements of equality and justice, such as women’s reproductive rights and political rights, can be widely accepted by the Muslim community. In Egypt, the feminist movement, according to Saba Mahmood, has failed to understand the agency of the fundamentalist women’s movement. But in Indonesia, active collaboration has occurred between secular and Muslim feminists. They opposed the discourse of identity politics and the patriarchal political ideology legitimized by the New Order regime. They built concepts and collective action through pesantren, Islamic universities, and the networks of two Islamic women’s organizations, Fatayat Nahdlatul Ulama and Aisyiyah Muhammadiyah. The convergence of these two streams of feminism is a key strength and essential feature of the Islamic feminist movement in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article charts my journey of becoming a human and women’s rights activist through an autoethnographic lens, situating my personal experiences within broader political struggles. Using autoethnography, I weave my life narrative with cultural critique to highlight how individual experiences are entangled with social structures. I consistently opposed the militaristic regime of the New Order and the patriarchal legal system and kept fighting for women’s empowerment. Traumas from my youth, when I helplessly watched some of my friends being trapped in forced and abusive marriage practices, motivated me to study law. In this sense, my story affirms the feminist principle that the personal is political: intimate experiences of violence and injustice became the ground for political resistance and legal activism. After graduation, I worked in the fields of human and women’s rights and co-founded several organizations, including Solidaritas Perempuan, APIK, and KPI. I also participated in two major tribunals, the Tokyo Women’s Tribunal 2000 and the IPT 1965. Both within parliament and outside it, I drafted and fought for several laws defending women’s rights, including the Domestic Violence Law. Through collaboration with feminist bureaucrats and academics, I found that personal stories of trauma, when connected to collective feminist knowledge, could transform the social and legal system and contribute to gender, social, and ecological justice.
