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
