For you don't have to wait for the sun to rise

Life begins

the roar of the transport machine

breaks the silence

and the hubbub of markets

Then fatigue

suffering and burden of life

is readiness not to disclose

on the crush of poverty

till tomorrow

When the hauling machine returns

Your children don't have to run

fighting over the burden on this place

In line with growth

and regional economic development

in various regions

which takes place

for the last 10 years

is no exception in the city of Yogyakarta

and its surroundings

has shown

that the rapid growth of the region's economy

does not guarantee widespread

increase in public welfare

This thing

is not only caused by

continues to increase in value

number

and quality of life needs

But

social justice structure

which should be built together

every growth

and regional economic developmen

is not necessarily present

to fair

ongoing equity

in distributing

every available economic opportunity

One phenomenon

which strengthens this fact is

attendance

and grow

and developing markets

in the Yogyakarta area and its surroundings

both traditional markets

big market

retail market

and modern markets

to malls

Any of market developments

both in terms of physical buildings

along with the facilities and infrastructure

Capacity of commodity goods

and daily necessities

which is increasingly diverse and unlimited

Market capacity for traders

market economy actors

workers

to the transaction value

and the velocity of money

which takes place everyday

In the dynamics of market life

continues to show increasing numbers

that is so fast

However, once again

in all market situations

which continues to grow and develop

still

there is a group of communities

supporting life

and the dynamics of the market economy

who stays

in marginalized conditions

Never thought

in each policy

and market development agenda

No guarantee of protection

vulnerable

against various burden of suffering

and increasingly kept away

from their basic rights

to obtain welfare space

While in the dynamics of life

and market continuity

their role is so big

A group of life support communities

and the dynamics of the market economy

are female laborers

Powerful women

which is armed with physical force

far ... beyond his humanity

works starting from the darkness of the day

to darkness the next day

When loading and unloading routine

commodity markets take place

don't know time

and the limits of the ability of the workers

Powerful women

as laborers carrying on almost

all markets in Yogyakarta

the average

inherits the work from parents

or their grandparents

Initially

farmer families

in a suburban area

like the Pandak region

or Imogiri in Bantul

Sentolo in Kulon Progo

Limestone in Sleman

or also from the Gunung Kidul area

Klaten to Sukoharjo

They are women

which previously discussed social defeat

in the village of origin

When farming land

and job opportunities begin to narrow

While the burden of life needs

getting squeezed

With no skills

expertise

knowledge

and without capital

then the dynamics of market life

Narrowing it down

agricultural land in the village

this certainly has an impact on

reduced employment opportunities

Temporary

the easiest is

leave the village

One alternative is

goes to the City

where for people

has no capital

and special skills

workers carry one

alternative Employment

where it does not combine large capital

just need it

strong power

strong physical

and that clearly has a strong mentality

Porter or carrying labor become

small part

maybe at the Beringharjo market

then Giwangan market

that of course this is be one of

traditional market

which is the bigest in Jogja

Which has specifications

Like in Giwangan

more on market-carrying laborers

as a vegetable market and fruit market

Now this is a woman porter including

the most

especially in Beringharjo

But problems

experienced by this carrying laborer

only known by

some people

Issues

experienced by them

like that

among others

as a market citizen

which is sometimes still considered

minority

maybe the citizens

in other markets

See problems

experienced by carrying laborers or woman porter

of course Yasanti too

a few years ago

before we do activities

with woman porter

we do research

around 1989

concerning the condition of the woman porter

in Beringharjo market

well based on that

and based on experience

we have been doing so far

Yasanti as an institution

who are concerned about women

including here the woman porter

in traditional markets

in Yogyakarta

We also want to participate

also try to do something

which of course can benefit them

Among other things we do

activities that are nature

insight enhancement

skill enhancement

also raising awareness

frequent problems

experienced by woman porter

where laborers carry themselves

unconsciously and not feeling

have a problem

which is this is become

our problem together

How they have

critical awareness

against problems

those around him

so with their criticality

they can do something

to improve their welfare

both in terms of wages

both in terms of health awareness

work health

then also related to

another insight

we also do

mentoring in nature

increase organizational strengthening

where with organizational awareness

with group awareness

they are expected to be strong

from improving its position

then they can

do something for

improve their welfare

where we also need cooperation

with other institutions

which of course can support

what is expected by them?

With good cooperation so far

good with institutions

who are concerned about women's issues

as well as government institutions

in this case the Head of the Market Service

then the others head of market

of course this is very influential

the work of carrying labour

for the future we need to support

and we need from many parties

from financially

also knowledge

insight

speed still needs to be improved

and strengthen position

and their condition

so strengthen position and improve

conditions of laborers carrying

where laborers carry

work that has been done

how to be healthy

and get a decent wage

then there is also public awareness

to help each other

and together to improve

prosperity together

Woman porters

in markets

who are among themselves

often call it endong-endong

At first it was

typical phenomenon of Javanese culture

or more specifically

in Yogyakarta

which has a long history

in building social structures

society

as servant (abdi dalem in java language)

maid

waiters

coolies

to labor workers

with energy services

in kinship

which is noteworthy

from the development of roles

the laborers carry on the market

or endong-endong

what distinguishes it from

laborers carrying men

they call it

as manol

that far away

before the industrial relations era

who put labor

as a factor of production

the position of the carrying laborer and the employer

is a meeting position

by cultural relations

between servant and boss

in the perspective of Javanese culture

unfortunately

for laborers carrying in various cases

when labor and the boss relations

or laborers in the industrial relations scheme

already changed

become a transactional relation

in economic side still

the woman porter

positioned in kinship

This is the discrimination

or even exploitation

which is more often the natural endong-endong

On the other hand

as a female laborer

who rely on services

through the power capital they have

other than wage treatment

which is sometimes far from feasibility

then health issues

is a frequent problem

they face

from related physical complaints

with lumbago

back pain

fatigue

to serious problems

related to blood pressure

and reproductive health

is a routine situation

the woman porter (endong-endong)

which they keep and hold

face daily sling load

not even rare

they are also vulnerable

against harassment

even sexual violence

Departing from these situations and conditions

Yayasan Annisa Swasti (YASANTI)

is a Independent Organization

or called Non-Governmental Organization

better known as YASANTI

feel moved to accompany

the women porter

placed in a simple secretariat

in Bugisan Yogyakarta

YASANTI

consist of women activists

which has been 28 years

prove commitment

and social dedication

on the issue of gender injustice

and women's empowerment

feel there must be done

together with women porters

so that their feminine situation

not discriminated

and the energy they have given

for market economic growth

not just keep them away

from the welfare vortex

After the activity

This Yasanti's group

automatically

help from mothers

woman porter

which till now

can develop faster

among them for family

every month there is an "arisan" (regular social gathering) activity

well,it turns out to date

looks better

because

including social activities

and including for health

in every 3 month

from the foundation also held

free checking

for the woman porters

till now,

which things that we monitor

I am the Head of Giwangan Market Head

I rate positive and very good

because from this their activities

also helps smooth in trade

in market

and to help

their families

Today I feel happy

Yasanti had not entered the Giwangan market yet

I feel hard to be a woman porter

now, I say Alhamdulillah (Thank you God/Allah)

Yasanti involved to Giwangan market

there is any progress

Arisan (Social gathering for all mothers)

there is progress in recitation

there are savings and loans

there is....

if the woman porter fell sick or pain

their body,

there is a request for a check

With the involving of Yasanti,

to the organization of Woman porter in Giwangan market

we are more advanced

especially the matter of saving and loan

We all

with all friends not involved

to loan sharks

adding insight

added science

more convenient

our family affairs

we are proud of Yasanti

can guide the woman porters

in Giwangan market

Starting in 1989

when Yasanti

doing research

on the condition of women porters

at the Beringharjo market in Yogyakarta

A social fact

which could be the beginning

from spirit

concern

and commitment

which moves activist of Yasanti

to design

mentoring program with them

Facts related to working conditions

who only rely on physical

structure

and architecture

and an unfriendly market environment

with their work

and threatening questions

their health condition

like an pregnancy disorder

dislocate

mismanaged

where is the whole

become their own dependents

without job safety guarantee

from anyone

also about

their bargaining position

non-standard wages

unequal eating patterns

with nutritional and health needs

distance between home

and workplace

to the issue of loading and unloading time

which causes them

in a cycle

and work atmosphere

which is far from prerequisites

convenience

security and health

So after all these years

starting from Beringharjo

now assistance is expanded

to the fruit market in Pelem Purih

Gamping Sleman

also Kranggan market

and the big fruit and vegetable market

in Giwangan, Yogyakarta

Now there are hundreds of endong-endong

have organized themselves

with Yasanti

on sidelines of their works

an empowerment activity

which is programmed

together with the laborers carrying scheduled

activities

such as group assistance

education

and workshop

about useful insights

for them

entrepreneurship

economic strengthening activities

until the health check

routinely

Frankly, when I have to jump

to Beringharjo

I really support it

cooperation between PKBI and Yasanti

because for laborers carrying

they can carry out to check

so they can be monitored

their health

because for them

health is very important

so they can work

especially their complaints

tired

dizzy

even a high tension

have to work

with this service
