Abstract

This paper discusses and criticizes government policy in tackling women refugees due to eruption of Mount Sinabung which has lasted for 7 years (2010-2017). Women refugee are trapped in the central and local government policies that are very 'masculine' in tackling their problems. The various problems they face do not count as a problem. This is evident from the abandonment of domestic needs for menstruating women, pregnant women, lactating women, and women who have multiple roles as wives and mothers for their children. The author articulates a model of symbolic interaction to understand new issues of government policy over the years. At the end of this paper the authors convey the identification of the problems faced by women refugee in refugee camps and recommend reconstruction policies related to the problems they face.
