Implementation of the Migram Worker Women Protection Program by Kendari Women's Solidarity (Case Study on Migrant Workers in Konawe Regency)

Abstrak

This study aims to describe the implementation of the protection program for women migrant workers by Solidarity Perempuan Kendari in Konawe Regency, as well as identify factors that affect the effectiveness of its implementation. The background of this research is based on the vulnerability faced by women migrant workers to various forms of violence, exploitation, and structural injustice. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The informants consisted of the management of Women's Solidarity, women migrant workers, and their families. The results of the study showed that the protection programs carried out, such as capacity building, community organizing, case assistance, advocacy, and public awareness campaigns, had a positive impact on raising legal awareness and strengthening grassroots women's networks. However, the program faces challenges such as limited resources, suboptimal inter-agency communication, and cultural and bureaucratic barriers. The success of implementation is influenced by communication factors, resources, executive disposition, and bureaucratic structure, according to George C. Edward III's theory. This study recommends the importance of strengthening cross-institutional synergy, institutional capacity building, and supporting public policies that favor women migrant workers. These findings are expected to be an academic and practical reference in the development of social justice-based policies for the protection of women migrant workers.
