Overview of the Current Situation of Indigenous Women

This paper examines the current conditions of Indigenous Women across 103 PEREMPUAN AMAN organizing areas in seven regions, showing how concessions, infrastructure development, energy projects, and the growing dependence on markets are depriving them of their management areas, livelihoods, knowledge, and authority. Among communities affected by the Lambo Dam, 52 percent are at risk of becoming landless, while the gap between asset valuation and government compensation ranges from Rp500 million to Rp35 billion. The crisis has also entered household economies, with debt affecting 88.5 percent of respondents in Menteng, 76 percent in East Barito, and 60 percent in Paser. The paper argues that state neglect is not passive, but a form of structural violence that pushes Indigenous Women into dispossession, impoverishment, dependency, and exclusion from decisions affecting their lives.
