“…(Pasadilla and Abella, 2012). In the stages of the recruitment process of these migrant workers, private intermediaries are involved (Yazid, 2013) to get job channels and information (Abella, 2004), who frequently draws money from migrants (Aldaba, 2014). ASEAN migrant workers are also dominated by women because the employment sector requires female roles such as nurses, domestic workers, caregivers, and hotel services (Battistella, 2014).…”

ASEAN member countries are migrant-sending and receiving countries. Around 7.3 million ASEAN citizens are migrant workers, more than 740 thousand refugees are from Myanmar, and many ASEAN citizens are victims of human trafficking. Frequently, these migrants get discriminatory treatment, which makes them unable to fulfill their human rights. ASEAN, as a regional organization, is an actor that can implement migration governance in the region. As a governance institution, ASEAN has several migration instruments relating to human trafficking and migrant workers. To implement this regional instrument, ASEAN forms bodies that function to encourage and protect migrant rights. The Rohingya people from Myanmar still experiences forced migration and displacement. However, ASEAN still does not have a comprehensive instrument that can be a source of regional governance toward the issue. This paper will discuss the prospects of ASEAN migration governance in resolving migration issues in the region.

Indonesian migrant workers face such problems since pre-recruitment, repatriation, and reintegration process (Yazid, 2013). They face some problems such as mistreatment, violence, harassment, exploitation, and worker rights abuse.…”

“…In the national level, when the draft law No. 25 of 1997 concerning about employment excluded the migrant workers, more than 100 CSOs responded by forming a consortium named KOPBUMI to push Indonesia government to ratify the 1990 International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families (Yazid, 2013). As a result, in 2004 Indonesian government began to put attention to migrant workers by legislating the national law No.…”

Indonesia is biggest sending country of migrant worker in the region. half of the number of Indonesian worker is undocumented migrant workers that vulnerable to be a victim of worker rights or human rights violation. The absent of regional policy of migrant worker protection in ASEAN, makes the issue get less attention in ASEAN multilateral framework. Then in 2007 the first regional policy of migrant worker appeared in ASEAN, in the process it involves CSOs from all ASEAN member states. While ASEAN itself is regional organization that conduct state-centric system which position state as a leading actor. This condition bring up a question how the involvement of Indonesian CSO in the policy-making process of migrant workers protection in ASEAN. Through the perspective of critical theory of Habermas, there is a space in the public sphere that can be used by CSO to emancipate migrant workers by conducting dialogue by establish and join network that is HRWG and TFAMW, then CSO can involves in the ASEAN policy making process of migrant workers protection.

“…It is widely accepted that activists aiming to improve the protection of migrant workers need to build cross-border alliances that span migrant-sending and migrant-receiving countries. Early scholarship introduced the concept of transnational advocacy networks (TANs) (Keck and Sikkink, 1998), through which activists utilize international regimes, including international organizations and conventions, to gain leverage with their target governments (see Piper, 2006; Hsia, 2009; Yazid, 2013). However, Zajak et al.…”

This article explores the relationship between Migrant CARE, a migrant labor NGO in Indonesia, and the Indonesian Migrant Workers Union in Hong Kong and their potential to advocate for better protection of migrant workers’ rights by the Indonesian government. Indonesia’s transition into democracy, Hong Kong’s promotion of civil rights and the United Nations International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Their Families provide opportunities for advocacy activism for Indonesian migrant workers and the possibility of cross-border cooperation of organizations in these two places. Previous studies show cross-border linkages of activism between Indonesia and Hong Kong but they do not pay attention to the factors that could promote sustaining the network. This article shows that both organizations have different strategies, alliance formations and ideologies in their activism. The differences between these organizations weaken their advocacy.
