| The appearance of women in the action against the cement industry has become a symbol of a new round of community resistance against the setting up of a cement factory and mining plant. Breaking the barriers between domestic and public space, the women mobilised support and resources, and became actively involved in the resistance movement in order to reject the construction of the cement factory in Rembang. They entered the movement for blocking the construction of the cement industry and became actively involved in self-organizing and improving their capacities, through critical education and asking for support from influential leaders, in order to conduct public-hearings regarding various state institutions at the national and local levels. The women's movement in Rembang actually started a long time ago in which the Javanese heroine, Kartini, broke traditional norms. This paper explores how women became agents of change by participating in the resistance against environmental destruction and threats to people lives. | |
