description:

The project goal is to reduce child domestic work through improving the status of the working conditions of domestic workers in Indonesia. One of PROMOTE’s aims is to strengthen awareness of the rights of domestic workers among employers of domestic workers and domestic workers themselves. PROMOTE partner, JARAK, a network of child-rights NGOs, developed the Community Based Monitoring (CBM) approach to raise awareness of household employers and domestic workers on working conditions, and also to identify child labour and cases of abuse of domestic workers working through neighbourhood associations. Ministerial Decree No.2/2015 provides a government line of support for the model as it requires employers to report the employment of domestic workers to the head of the local neighbourhood known as Rukun Tetanga (RT). At the time of evaluation the CBM teams are operating in 33 local communities across four districts The model has been operating since late 2015, at the time of the Final Evaluation in July 2017. The community based monitoring model offers an emerging good practice for monitoring domestic workers’ situations and potentially identifying cases of under-age workers or exploitative working conditions. The neighbourhood teams can identify where domestic workers are employed, gather data on their employment, provide employers and workers with information about domestic workers’ rights, as well as refer cases to support services. Process: The monitoring groups operate at the RT level, covering 50 to 200 households. The groups typically include community leaders at RT level, RW leaders and staff of the Family Welfare Development Program. The initial purpose of the teams is to collect data on the domestic workers employed in a given neighbourhood, and then to monitor at regular intervals, such as 3 months or at least annually, to check on the DW’s working conditions. At the same time, they check that none of the domestic workers are less than 18 years old.
