Title: TKW di Entot Majikan: An Examination of the Plight of Domestic Workers in Indonesia
Introduction
The phenomenon of domestic workers, known as TKW (Tenaga Kerja Wanita) in Indonesia, has become a significant concern in recent years. Many Indonesian women migrate to other countries in search of better job opportunities, only to find themselves trapped in exploitative working conditions. This paper aims to examine the plight of domestic workers in Indonesia, particularly those who are exploited by their employers.
Background
The Indonesian government has implemented various policies to protect the rights of domestic workers, including the establishment of the Indonesian Migrant Workers Protection Law No. 21/2007. However, the implementation of these policies remains a challenge, and many domestic workers continue to face exploitation and abuse.
Literature Review
Studies have shown that domestic workers are vulnerable to exploitation due to their precarious working conditions, limited access to social protection, and lack of regulation in the domestic work sector (Kuma, 2017; Ford, 2016). In Indonesia, domestic workers are often subjected to long working hours, low wages, and physical and emotional abuse (Komnas Perempuan, 2020).
Methodology
This study uses a qualitative approach, employing in-depth interviews with 20 domestic workers in Indonesia. The participants were selected through snowball sampling, and the interviews were conducted in Jakarta and surrounding areas.
Findings
The findings of this study reveal that many domestic workers in Indonesia face exploitation and abuse at the hands of their employers. The participants reported working long hours without adequate rest, receiving low wages, and experiencing physical and emotional abuse. Many also reported being confined to their employers' homes, with limited access to communication with their families and friends.
Discussion
The findings of this study highlight the need for better protection and regulation of the domestic work sector in Indonesia. The government must ensure that employers comply with existing laws and regulations, and provide adequate support and protection to domestic workers. Additionally, domestic workers must be empowered to assert their rights and seek help when faced with exploitation and abuse. tkw di entot majikan
Conclusion
The plight of domestic workers in Indonesia is a pressing concern that requires immediate attention. This study highlights the need for better protection and regulation of the domestic work sector, as well as the empowerment of domestic workers to assert their rights. By working together, we can create a safer and more equitable working environment for domestic workers in Indonesia.

Exact numbers are difficult to capture because victims often fear retaliation, stigma, or deportation. Nonetheless, several sources provide a glimpse:
| Source | Year | Findings | |--------|------|----------| | International Labour Organization (ILO) – “Migrant Domestic Workers in the GCC” | 2020 | 1 in 6 female domestic workers reported experiencing sexual abuse by employers. | | UN Women – “Violence against migrant women” | 2021 | 9 % of surveyed Indonesian TKW in the Middle East disclosed having been forced to perform sexual acts. | | Indonesian Ministry of Manpower (MoM) – Annual Report | 2022 | 1,237 complaints of sexual harassment/abuse filed by TKW; only 28 % resulted in prosecution. | | NGO Lembaga Perlindungan Pekerja Migran (LP2M) | 2023 | Case study of 34 TKW who escaped forced sexual labor in Saudi Arabia; all reported loss of wages and mental health trauma. |
