ItemHj. Nisa, Head of the La Tansa Migrant Worker Observer Group, Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara(University of Melbourne with Universitas Gadjah Mada and MAMPU, 2020)Hj. Nisa's story is part of a peer-reviewed edited volume of women's life stories that draws on detailed ethnographic research of village women's lived experiences and how they, individually and collectively, have taken action to influence village development in Indonesia's multi-level governance structure under the new Village Law in Indonesia. The analysis identifies the processes of women's empowerment, their involvement in grassroots women's collective action, engagement with civil society organisations, and how women influence village institutions, policies, development spending and priorities, and new projects as well as social norms in communities. Hj. Nisa is the head of the La Tansa Migrant Worker Observer group, which she established with thirty other former women migrant workers, with the support of Villages that Care for Migrant Workers (DESBUMI) and the Panca Karsa Association Mataram (PPK), the local partner of Migrant CARE. The La Tansa group provides a space to share information and helps former migrant workers establish livelihoods from activities like crafts and making traditional cakes. As well as developing their livelihood skills and saving together, Hj. Nisa and other La Tansa members often discuss and share their experiences of being women migrant workers, including Nisa's own experiences working in Saudi Arabia. Sharing these experiences means that people, especially women, become aware of how to safely engage in migrant work. Nisa hopes she can continue to help the DESBUMI assist migrant workers who experience injustice, violence and other migration problems. Through their networks and social media, Nisa and other La Tansa members gather reports about villagers overseas and pass them on to DESBUMI who then offer assistance.

ItemGita, Chairperson of DESBUMI, Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara(University of Melbourne with Universitas Gadjah Mada and MAMPU, 2020)Gita's story is part of a peer-reviewed edited volume of women's life stories that draws on detailed ethnographic research of village women's lived experiences and how they, individually and collectively, have taken action to influence village development in Indonesia's multi-level governance structure under the new Village Law in Indonesia. The analysis identifies the processes of women's empowerment, their involvement in grassroots women's collective action, engagement with civil society organisations, and how women influence village institutions, policies, development spending and priorities, and new projects as well as social norms in communities. Gita is a young university graduate and Head of Villages that Care for Migrant Workers (DESBUMI) in a village in Central Lombok. In 2014, Gita was approached to help Panca Karsa Association Mataram (PPK) to collect information about villagers' migration. This data was used to campaign for the creation of a DESBUMI, a village-level initiative program created by Migrant CARE to advocate for and support migrant workers and their families. As Head of DESBUMI in this village, Gita has increased her awareness of social issues and was influential in successfully lobbying for a Village Regulation on the Protection of Migrant Workers. Her story illustrates how involvement in participatory data collection and policy advocacy and change led her to have the self-belief and assurance to pursue her teaching career in a disadvantaged community.

ItemAdvokasi Perempuan Desa dalam Memperkuat Perlindungan bagi Pekerja Migran: Bermigrasi Aman Berkat Perdes dan Perda Perlindungan TKI = Village Women's Advocacy for Strengthening Migrant Worker Protection: Safe Migration under Village and District Regulations(University of Melbourne with Universitas Gadjah Mada and MAMPU, 2020)Case study from "Membuka Jalan untuk Pembangunan Inklusif Gender di Daerah Perdesaan Indonesia: Bunga Rampai Kajian Aksi Kolektif Perempuan dan Pengaruhnya pada Pelaksanaan Undang-Undang Desa", a peer-reviewed volume of case studies drawing on detailed ethnographic research of how village women have influenced village development in Indonesia's multi-level governance structure under the new Village Law in Indonesia. This case study examines changes in the Central Lombok research village following the enactment of a Village Regulation on the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers in 2015. The lack of information about safe migration prompted Migrant CARE and its local partner the Panca Karsa Association (PPK) to support villagers to form the DESBUMI - Villages that Care for Migrant Workers - and to support village women to establish a women's group for former migrant workers and their families called "La Tansa".
