UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security. Placing women's rights at the centre of all its efforts, UN Women leads and coordinates United Nations system efforts to ensure that commitments to gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action worldwide. It provides solid and coherent leadership supporting Member States' priorities and efforts, building effective partnerships with civil society and other relevant actors.
Worldwide, women migrants make up less than half of all international global migrants, at 135 million or 48.1 percent. The number of estimated international migrants has risen over the past three decades. Countries in the Asia-Pacific region comprise nearly 30% of international migrants, with the vast majority (80%) ending up in other Asia-Pacific countries. Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, the Philippines, and Viet Nam are large net-sending countries. In contrast, Brunei Darussalam, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Gulf Cooperation Council Countries, are net-receiving countries of labour migration.
Meanwhile, in Indonesia, according to BP2MI, in the last three years (2019-2021), 80 percent of the total number of Indonesian migrant worker placements are women who work in the care work sector, especially domestic workers. Women migrant workers are pivotal in social and economic change across households and economies. Despite the many positive contributions, the risks and experience of violence, exploitation, and discrimination at all stages of migration are high, violating human rights and resulting in severe costs and consequences to her, her family, and the economies of the host and origin countries.
Women migrant workers are prone to gender-based violence in each migration stage. In origin, transit and host countries, women migrant workers are at risk of being trafficked, discriminated against, exploited, sexually harassed and assaulted during their migration journey. However, women migrant workers who are victims are often prevented from getting essential services and access to justice. Women migrant workers' access to essential services is often hindered by their migratory status and type of work.
In 2016, UN General Assembly adopted The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM). It is the inter-governmental agreement under the support of the United Nations on a common approach to international migration in all its dimensions. It reaffirms the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants adoption in order to develop a global compact for safe, orderly and regular migration. The GCM was adopted by the UN Member States on December 10, 2018, and endorsed by the UN General Assembly on December 19, 2018. In adopting the GCM, Member States committed to fulfilling their objectives and commitments at the national, regional and global levels while considering different national realities, capacities and levels of development. The GCM is framed in line with three (3) goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, namely target 10.7, under which state parties commit to work together to facilitate safe, orderly and regular migration; target 5.2: Eliminate all forms of violence against all women and girls in public and private spheres, including trafficking and sexual and other types of exploitation; target 17.16: Enhance the global partnership for sustainable development, complemented by multi-stakeholder partnerships that mobilize and share knowledge, expertise, technology and financial resources, to support the achievement of the sustainable development goals in all countries, in particular developing countries.
GCM consists of 23 objectives for advancing migration management, including various issues related to migration at the local, national, and global levels. GCM objectives are expected to address four crucial matters: ensuring migration is voluntary, regular and orderly; protecting migrants through rights-based border management measures; supporting the integration of migrants and contribution of migrants to development; improving evidence-based policymaking; and strengthening cooperation on migration.
The Start-up Fund for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration or Migration MPTF was called for by the Member States through the adoption of the GCM and is a vital component of the GCM Capacity Building Mechanism. It was established as a United Nations pooled fund by the United Nations Network on Migration, a collaborative community of United Nations entities focused on migration, under the strategic guidance and direction of an Executive Committee. The Migration MPTF will contribute to ensuring a robust, coordinated, inclusive and coherent United Nations system-broad support to Member States in their implementation, follow-up and review of the GCM while avoiding fragmentation in delivering on the GCM's 23 objectives. It is fully aligned with the guiding principles of the GCM.
Indonesia is one of the champion countries of GCM implementation. The Champion country initiative is designed to provide targeted Member States with technical and capacity-building support from the United Nations Network on Migration guided by the realities and priorities of each country. It also aims to build awareness, strengthen technical understanding around the GCM and generate key insights, lessons learned, and positive practices that can be shared in dedicated spaces and with other Member States.
In order to support the Government of Indonesia in implementing the GCM, particularly ensuring human rights-based and gender-responsiveness principles applied in migration governance, UN Women jointly work with IOM and UNDP under the Migration Governance for Sustainable Development in Indonesia program supported by Migration Multi-Partner Trust Fund to enhance migration governance in Indonesia by supporting government capacities in evidence-based, gender-responsive migration management at national and sub-national level through 1) Strengthened migration governance and national priorities in line with the GCM, ensuring contributing to sustainable development outcomes; 2) Enhanced government stakeholders' capacity at sub-national level to maximize migration's development potential.UN Women will work with key stakeholders to safeguard the specific rights and needs of women migrant workers and to address their vulnerable situations. The intervention will be carried out by strengthening an integrated criminal justice system for responding to violence against women, which includes violence against women migrant workers in the two areas of origin of the migrant workers, namely Central Java and West Nusa Tenggara.
The Integrated Criminal Justice System for responding to violence against women (Sistem Peradilan Pidana Terpadu Dalam Penanganan Kasus Kekerasan terhadap Perempuan/SPPT PKKTP) has been developed since 2003. The system aims to provide comprehensive and integrated procedures and services for victims of violence against women, who often experience revictimization and discrimination while seeking justice. In 2016, The National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas) adopted SPPT-PKKTP as a national priority program, successfully implemented in several regions such as Kepulauan Riau, Kalimantan Tengah, DKI Jakarta, Central Java, and Maluku.
Under Indonesia's joint Migration Governance for Sustainable Development program, UN Women will strengthen the system's implementation in Central Java and identify potential adoption in Nusa Tenggara Barat. UN Women will support the government at the sub-national level to enhance the mainstreaming of human rights-based and gender-responsiveness into migration governance. It will ensure service provision for victims of VAW and trafficking of women migrant workers and their families are in line with Law no. 12/2022 on Sexual Violence Crime. The Program implementation will be conducted by taking measures that support women migrant workers who are victims of VAW and trafficking and ensure adequate access to justice and prosecution of crimes by strengthening the implementation of the integrated criminal justice system for responding to violence against women (SPPT PKKTP).
This activity will contribute to achieving 3 GCM objectives as follows:
1. Objective 7: Address and reduce vulnerabilities in migration
2. Objective 10: Prevent, combat, and eradicate trafficking in persons in the context of international migration
3. Objective 17: Eliminate all forms of discrimination and promote evidence-based public discourse to shape perceptions of migration.
The project will respond to the Migration MPTF Outcome 1: the Government of Indonesia strengthens its migration governance and national priorities in line with the GCM objectives, ensuring these contribute to sustainable development outcomes; and Output 1.2 Government inter-institutional coordination mechanisms and processes to apply a whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach to migration governance are strengthened by establishing an appropriate inter-ministerial forum on migration. It will be aligned with the UN Women Indonesia Strategic Note (SN)-Annual Work Plan (AWP) 2023, Outcome 3.1: People living in Indonesia, especially those at risk of being left furthest behind, are empowered to fulfil their human development potential as members of a pluralistic, tolerant, inclusive, and just society, free of gender and all other forms of discrimination, and violence against women; and Output 3.1.2: Government has increased capacity to coordinate multi-sectoral GBV service provision for women and girls subjected to violence, including COVID 19 response and recovery.
