Women batik worker characteristics who live near poverty line, have difficulty meeting their needs limited access to skills development. Batik training, tools assistance and materials to colouring training still make them helpless. Batik training for them is a willingness to receive “wages” rather than knowledge gained, because batik has become a part of life. Colouring training for them is a mere “lie” because the recipe given is not effective recipe, they still must trial and error themselves.
