Advokasi 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

Abstract

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".
