Education Day: Women, Labor and Education
Jakarta - There are three significant momentum That We commemorate in a row the last two weeks. Viewed from the perspective aksiomatiknya, the three momentum has causality. The first is, Kartini Day. From the Neighborhood (RT) to government agencies, on April 22 last, to commemorate Kartini Day.
Various Ways to concerted Efforts made to commemorate RA. Kartini in the struggle of Indonesian women. Starting from the discussion in scientific forums to choose a mate with a local specialty Such as kebaya outfit, as was held in one hospital in Makassar.
The second momentum is equally Important for the Indonesian nation is the which Labor Day is commemorated World se EACH dated May 1, commonly Also Referred to as May Day. Various Ways Also are conducted to commemorate May Day. From the demonstration with the demands ubtuk the improv welfare of the workers by mobilizing the Masses in the TENS of Thousands, to eat crackers with labor a la President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
Momentum is a day to three national education the which We commemorate today. National Education Day May 2 is the birthday of the National education leaders are Also Ki Hajar Dewantara freedom fighters, especially the independence in the educated at That time.
If We Examine more deeply the historical roots of the Emancipation struggle of RA. Kartini, then We Will find a slice of the substance on education. Kartini's struggle for Emancipation of women inspired by the reality of society at That time a very permissive Towards the fate of women.
Dibatsai women of Their right to science, to access education, Until the last career for a woman of That era were the resource persons "domestic worker". No shift of the three vocabulary words: kitchen, wells and mattress.
Interestingly, the awareness of co-optation of women's lot by Kartini actualized in the form of the intellectual demands of women's lives, through education path. Logic That cans lift the standard of education of women to touch the inner strata of the resistance, Until finally the present, We see emerging a successful career woman since the birth of the qualification levels of education.
But on the other hand, there is heartbreaking scene That Should Be Government's concern on the issue of education, especially for women workers overseas (TKW). The fact that, workers WHO's work outside the country Until January 2011, According to the ministry of Foreign Affairs, to reach 4-5 million people is dominated by women. The number of female migrant workers abroad reached 78 percent. Even the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Marty Natalegawa That suspect there are number of migrant workers abroad is Greater than the data, with the Assumption That the number of illegal workers.
76 percent of whom are migrant women working in the household sector (PRT), Some work as a gardener or factory workers. On the other hand an Increasing number of women workers continue to occur in the informal sector of the which Provides the indication of the ease in and out of the labor market Because Their wages tend to be cheap.
This fact indicates how migrant women cans not be seen to have high bargaining power. More work on non-formal sectors That do not require education and skills. Yet Their contribution to foreign exchange income generated from remittances sent by migrant workers Until the end of 2009 reached 6615 billion U.S. dollars, or around Rp 58.5 trillion. Figures are fantastic.
Until now, after swallowing hundreds of lives, the government is still too Impressed half-hearted in dealing with migrant workers. Every Day We Are always treated by the deaths of hundreds of workers outside the country or the WHO were the resource people lined up waiting for execution Nowhere in the country They work. They're risking Their lives. But, They are forgotten and ignored.The tears and sweat like nothing.
Still attached in our memories, Kikim Komalasari, residents of Cianjur, West Java, WHO was beaten to death and his body was dumped. Husna WHO worked in Medina have the Same fate, suffered Cruel Torture. Or That recently occurred in Bint Darsem David Freshwater. TKW origin Subang before Could Freely after paying diyat for $ 2 Million Saudi Riyal equivalent to USD 4.7 billion. Diplomacy a la slow government Nearly merenggur Darsem lives.
Political support is one source of the problem. Data representation of women in parliament That only 18 per cent and is dominated by rich people WHO do not have a background of activism, particularly voicing women's rights is a reality. The political system is materialistic, street fighters regulatory limit workers' rights.
Finally, the elitist, women legislators are Also not far away only to fight for Their own interests.Activities Often migrant workers have never Considered as an involvement in the development process. As a result, rarely think about public policy in Their favor. The reality of migrant workers thus changed from an economic-political reality the which is really memorable.
Various problems continue to Whack TKW, it's time to organize and dispatch workers remrutmen system toward a more Humane and professionally. Without it, what will from Happen Is That Indonesian migrant workers will from just carve the stain even bring life to city people.
Undeniably, that the factors Causing the weak bargaining power Yeng Indonesian migrant workers, especially female migrant workers, Because of low education levels. Most of these migrant workers, is a junior high to high school graduates WHO later received training at the Training Center, with modest skills. Even 90 per cent of one million migrant workers in Saudi Arabia are not graduated from high school.
Actually, the choice was Becomes TKW Because of necessity. The narrowness of jobs in Indonesia, supported by expensive education, do not allow people with limited economic ability to access education to get a decent job.
Finally, by the larger problems faced by the heroes of foreign exchange, the government must take responsibility by taking a realistic step Immediately. Because it cans not be denied that, inequality of development and high access to education and lack of political partisanship kausalitstik government, That forced a major factor for the maids are betting the lives abroad.
Momentum Education day, hopefully not with the ceremony just berlalau That seemed to close the social reality behind the bitter reality of migrant workers are exploited for business purposes, without regard to quality and Their Qualifications through access to education.
