“nDuweni Ibu Pertiwi”(Keeping the motherland) : Women’s agency to resist cement plants in Tegaldowo and Timbrangan villages, Rembang

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The appearance of women in the action against the cement industry has become a symbol of a new round of community resistance against the setting up of a cement factory and mining plant. Breaking the barriers between domestic and public space, the women mobilised support and resources, and became actively involved in the resistance movement in order to reject the construction of the cement factory in Rembang. They entered the movement for blocking the construction of the cement industry and became actively involved in self-organizing and improving their capacities, through critical education and asking for support from influential leaders, in order to conduct public-hearings regarding various state institutions at the national and local levels. The women’s movement in Rembang actually started a long time ago in which the Javanese heroine, Kartini,1 broke traditional norms. This paper explores how women became agents of change by participating in the resistance against environmental destruction and threats to people lives.

Keberadaan perempuan dalam aksi penolakan terhadap industri semen telah menjadi simbol dari babak baru perlawanan masyarakat terhadap pabrik semen. Gerakan perempuan di Rembang sebenarnya dimulai sejak lama di mana pahlawan Jawa, Kartini, menabrak norma-norma tradisional. Memecahkan sekat antara ruang domestik dan publik, perempuan memobilisasi dukungan dan sumber daya, dan menjadi aktif terlibat dalam gerakan perlawanan untuk menolak pembangunan pabrik semen di Rembang. Mereka mengawali gerakan dengan menghalangi proses pembangunan pabrik semen dan menjadi aktif terlibat dalam mengorganisir diri dan meningkatkan kapasitas mereka, melalui pendidikan kritis serta meminta dukungan dari para pemimpin yang berpengaruh, untuk melakukan dengar pendapat ke berbagai lembaga negara di tingkat nasional dan tingkat lokal. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk lebih mengeksplorasi bagaimana perempuan menjadi agen perubahan dengan berpartisipasi dalam gerakan penolakan demi mencegah kerusakan lingkungan yang mengancam kehidupan manusia.
