Abstract
Indonesia's commitment to safeguarding workers' rights, particularly for female migrant workers, is overshadowed by prevalent discrimination, encompassing violence, neglect, and abuse. Despite governmental efforts, the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection reported that 90% of female Indonesian Migrant Workers faced issues in 2018. Existing regulations, like the Minister of Manpower Decree No. 18 of 2018, have fallen short in addressing these problems. Drawing on feminist legal theory, which prioritizes gender equality, this paper utilizes a juridical-normative approach to suggest solutions. By ratifying conventions and establishing responsive counseling services, the government can better protect female migrant workers, aligning with the theory's tenets and fostering equitable laws
