Oxfam Research Report


As part of humanitarian response to Central Sulawesi Earthquake, Oxfam and humanitarian networking partners conducted research in camps for internally displaced persons in affected areas. The aim was to find out how the impacts of the disaster differed for women, men, boys and girls, as well as the variations in their roles and their access to and control of resources. As part of the assessment, the researchers carried out a rapid analysis of care work and also made efforts to identify how different groups might participate in the humanitarian response. This gender analysis is based on those research findings. It makes recommendations on how to respond to immediate and life-saving practical and strategic needs, with a focus on gender. It can also be used to inform and improve future responses to similar disasters in the same geographical area

Bekerja di sektor produksi dan distribusi pengetahuan, ada hal yang harus dimiliki oleh pelakunya yakni kepekaan menangkap persoalan-persoalan penting yang acap kali kurang diperhatikan oleh publik. Salah satu persoalan penting yang kurang diperhatikan publik itu adalah unpaid care work, pekerjaan perawatan tidak dibayar. Mulai dari merawat anak, merawat manula, memasak, mencuci, menyeterika, membersihkan rumah sampai melakukan kerja sosial di lingkungannya. Pekerjaan perawatan tidak dibayar ini bahkan belum menjadi bagian dalam kalkulasi ekonomi nasional di berbagai negara, termasuk di Indonesia. Pendek kata, pekerjaan perawatan tidak dibayar ini masih invisible although indispensable in our economies.
Siapakah yang bekerja pada pekerjaan perawatan tidak dibayar? Perempuan! Baik istri, ibu, saudara perempuan maupun anak perempuan. Estimasi McKinsey menunjukkan bahwa sebesar 75% perempuanlah yang bekerja pada pekerjaan tidak dibayar. Pekerjaan perawatan tidak dibayar yang dilakukan perempuan setara dengan 13% dari GDP secara global. Jika dikombinasikan antara unpaid work dan paid work, maka peran perempuan dalam perekonomian nasional dan global sangat besar kontribusinya.
Namun, besarnya peran dan kontribusi perempuan belum dilihat, diakui dan ditanggung-renteng oleh laki-laki secara optimal. Dampaknya, secara sosial-ekonomi dan sosial-politik, belum ada langkah-langkah yang memadai agar perempuan tidak terlalu terbebani dengan unpaid care work. Semua jenis pekerjaan perawatan tidak dibayar seakan-akan adalah kewajiban penuh perempuan yang kodrati dan tidak bisa diutak-atik lagi. Sementara, tugasnya laki-laki hanya mencari nafkah dan berperan dalam ranah sosial.
Dampak dari kondisi tersebut adalah sulitnya perempuan mengembangkan diri secara politik, ekonomi dan sosial. Lebih jauh, dampak lanjutannya adalah upaya-upaya perlindungan dan pemberdayaan perempuan tidak berjalan optimal. Padahal, sebagian besar kalangan sudah memiliki pandangan bahwa salah satu kunci pembangunan kesejahteraan adalah partisipasi perempuan dalam kegiatan politik-sosial-ekonomi. Partisipasi perempuan akan menempatkan perempuan sebagai aktor pembangunan sekaligus sebagai penerima manfaat dari kegiatan pembangunan.
Dengan kondisi tersebut, maka Perkumpulan PRAKARSA dengan dukungan dari Oxfam di Indonesia dan Oxfam Australia melakukan riset analisis cepat tentang pekerjaan perawaatan di Lombok Tengah dan Lombok Timur. Riset analisis cepat ini untuk mendapatkan gambaran mendalam atas pekerjaan perawatan tidak dibayar dan untuk mengetengahkan isu unpaid care work di hadapan publik. Harapannya, hasil analisa cepat ini dapat memantik perhatian para pihak dan dapat menjadi bahan dalam advokasi pengakuan, pembagian peran, pemberdayaan dan perlindungan perempuan, khususnya dalam upaya pencapaian tujuan pembangunan berkelanjutan gol nomor 5, gender equality.

Kajian pada pola konsumsi di tingkat rumah tangga ini juga akan memetakan, bagaimanakah upaya-upaya mitigasi dan adaptasi perubahan iklim yang dilakukan, dengan melihat peran, kontribusi dan tantangan berbasis gender.

IIED Asian Cities Climate Resilience Working Paper Series


Indonesian cities are increasingly invested in efforts to build urban resilience, and finding means of resisting, absorbing and recovering from climate change hazards. Despite growing evidence that women, especially in poorer populations, suffer disproportionately from climate change hazards, there are inadequate data and methods for prioritising women’s perspectives in city-level resiliency initiatives. The Indonesian NGO Kota Kita analysed its United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)-based methodology for climate change vulnerability assessments (CCVAs) by conducting research in three key areas: (1) How its CCVA process can better assess women’s climate vulnerability for urban planning efforts; (2) The importance of using a gender lens for resiliency planning; and (3) Making observations on several key gender-focused resiliency efforts in Indonesia. The study found that women’s perspectives were lacking in city-level resiliency planning due to low female participation in CCVAs and a lack of municipal gender disaggregated data.

Kemitraan


Indonesia is the world's third largest tropical forest country. The forests and peatlands has a rich biological diversity, and gives clean water for people and agriculture. The forests and Peatlands can secure the welfare and economic growth of Indonesia for generation to come. Securing the forests can also contribute to the global emission reduction through reducing deforestation and forest degradation. Through a bilateral partnership on REDD+ signed in 2010, Norway supports Indonesia to protect people’s welfare and reduce emissions by reduced deforestation.
Good governance in managing forests and peatland is key to achieving this goal and Norway has been a proud supporter to Kemitraan for the Forest Governance Programme (FGP) phase 1 and 2 since 2007. The role of civil society organizations in forest governance is important. Kemitraan is raising important discussions with policy makers, local communities and the public, while at the same time acting as intermediary institution working to strengthen participation from civil society and community organizations at the local level.
In the book 'Forest for People's Welfare - Stories from the Field' we hear the voices of people living in communities facing land disputes. Their lived experiences are presented. The stories capture important progress in land rights, such as improved community access to land through Community Forest, Village Forest and Community Timber Plantation schemes, assistance for customary communities, conflict management, community information system and women's roles in forest management.

Ancaman bencana yang sama bisa mengakibatkan dampak berbeda untuk komunitas yang berbeda. Di sini, konsep kerentanan dan kapasitas menjelaskan perbedaan risiko yang dihadapi terkait dengan ancaman bencana. Begitu juga dengan komunitas perempuan diffabel, yang dalam situasi bencana, dihadapkan pada
kerentanan berganda terhadap bencana. Sebagai akibarnya, dampak bencana yang ditanggung menjadi semakin berat. Namun beberapa temuan dalam studi kecil ini menunjukkan, bahwa dalam situasi keterbatasan, kerja kerelawanan perempuan diffabel menunjukkan bentuknya. Empati dan semangat berbagi adalah bagian dari kerja kerelawanan dari perempuan diffabel yang nampak dalam situasi pasca bencana di Jogja, pasca gempa 27 Mei 2006.
