Using feminist political ecology as a conceptual framework, this paper examines gender as a critical variable in analyzing structural injustice and also gendered injustice in the palm oil sector by scrutinising women's particular struggles that inform gender-differentiated experiences. As palm oil production shares a huge portion of income in Indonesia, it creates an environment where efficiency outweighs workers' rights in and around the plantation. Moreover, in spite of women labourers' significant roles in the palm oil industry in Indonesia, their status had been undervalued and women's rights kept ignored. Cash economy brought by the oil palm disturbs the subsistence farming community through which male labourers earn more and gain a higher place in the social hierarchy above female labourers who face increasing social insecurity. The study finds that most women also have limited access to information and resources which lead to restricted choice and exclusion in decision-making processes. The lack of alternative livelihood further implicates women's situation at stake, as they are customarily responsible for food security and household management in the Kalimantan context. Based on qualitative method and using narrative approach, the thesis highlights women's voices which were often 'muted' in the palm oil sector. The paper then argues that the patterns of structural injustice found in the oil palm industry are intertwined around the socially constructed idea of womanhood in Indonesia, fuelled by capitalistic ideals of economic growth and national development.viii, 72 leaves : mapapplication/pdfengผลงานนี้เป็นลิขสิทธิ์ของมหาวิทยาลัยมหิดล ขอสงวนไว้สำหรับเพื่อการศึกษาเท่านั้น ต้องอ้างอิงแหล่งที่มา ห้ามดัดแปลงเนื้อหา และห้ามนำไปใช้เพื่อการค้าGender mainstreaming -- Indonesia -- KalimantanWomen -- Social conditionsWomen -- Indonesia -- KalimantanMahidol University
