The problems of migrant workers are not caused by one factor alone but are the result of the intersections between gender, migration, labour, and trafficking issues. The characteristics of labour migration and trafficking of Indonesians are not only connected to economic issues but are influenced by gender issues, labour regulation, and the treatment of migrants in destination countries. The purpose of this feminist participatory action research was to explore the linkages between gender, migration, labour, and human trafficking as experienced by prospective, current and former women migrant workers in Rowoberanten Village, a village in the Kendal district, Central Java province, Indonesia.
