Abstract

This study explains the limited access of child domestic workers to information, which causes them to have difficulties in obtaining information and access regarding any efforts to develop organisations or join organisations that are able to advocate for their rights as women, children and citizens. The purpose of this study is to explain the SIWI community assistants who have concern for the conditions of children who are working in the worst job sectors. This research is descriptive research using the qualitative method. The research location is in Surabaya by conducting observation, in-depth interview and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) as its data collection method. The informants for this research were the child domestic workers, the community leaders, the Department of Human Resource Development and Culture, the Child Protection Institution, the Department of Social Services, Labour, and Transmigration and the Department of Education. The results of this research show that those child domestic workers are prone to exploitation and social exclusion because they are treated like an employer's property. Through this SIWI community, they can gather together, share stories about their daily lives, knowledge and skills to gain information and access towards better jobs and no longer be domestic workers anymore. This study implies that the access to basic services and policy advocacy at various levels must be enhanced to ensure the realisation of child labour protection.
