Abstract
The home is mainly a place of women's paid and unpaid care work in urban poor communities in North Jakarta. The present thesis substantiates the claim that forced eviction constitutes not only a violation of human rights but especially of women's rights by reporting the findings of a case study on the impact of forced eviction on women's livelihood and women's daily responses to such impact. The study focuses on the women of Kampung Akuarium, who have been victims of forced eviction in April 2016. The data, retrieved from a focus group discussion and semistructured interviews with six women, are analysed through the lenses of James Scott's theory of everyday resistance. The findings demonstrate that women adopt everyday resistance and resilience to alleviate and absorb the economic, social and environmental impacts of forced eviction on their livelihood and on that of their family, which the current study acknowledges as Resistilience . Therefore, the study adds to the existing body of literature on everyday forms of resistance and ultimately suggests that forced eviction constitutes a gross violation of women's rights.
