- Abstract
Life as a TKW (women migrant worker) is not an easy thing. First, being a TKW is not the initial goal of her life. The agricultural revolution has marginalized them from rural life. Success stories from the surrounding environment and supported by minimal material support forced them to work abroad. Second, his initial financial support and family expectations often overlook his hard work. The remittance is considered as his obligation. The situation is even worse when the remittance is used for things that are not expected. The position of women is often an obstacle to express opinions in public spaces. Opinions in the public space are needed so that the community’s treatment of TKW changes. However, the current public space has expanded and has a neutral attitude, so that TKWs can voice their voices. This study analyzes van Dijk’s critical discourse on broadcasts delivered by TKW, one of whom is named Sri Utami Juminten. Through reading the texts displayed via Facebook, the researcher revealed the stifling TKW during this time. The stifling heat is shown through the text used, the images displayed to the utterances that are conveyed.
