- Abstract
Violations of human rights, especially women, are of particular concern today. This also includes human rights protection for Indonesian women who work as Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) abroad. The many cases of human rights violations that occur to PMI make it an experience to always improve. The SDGs indicators mandate the 10th indicator which states reduced inequality and the 16th indicator which states peace, justice and strong institutions. This component is not only a priority for people within the country, but also for all Indonesian people, even those abroad. Many stakeholders are able to support the achievement of the SDGs indicators, one of which is through the formation of regional communities. This research aims to analyze the role of regional communities in realizing SDGs for PMI in Hong Kong. The method used in this research is qualitative descriptive research using direct observation data collection techniques, semi-structured interviews, and literature review. The results of this research show that the role of forming regional communities at PMI in Hong Kong to realize the SDGs is very important. It is proven that regional communities can have a very vital role in helping resolve the problems faced by PMI in Hong Kong. Conditions that enable PMIs to facilitate helping each other are regional ties that strengthen the inseparable values of togetherness and family. Therefore, the PMI regional community in Hong Kong can carry out its role as a policy creator, facilitator, coordinator, and implementer in supporting the realization of the SDGs through reducing inequality, realizing peace, justice and strong institutions.
