Abstract

This study aims to examine Muhammadiyah's efforts in advocating for the civil rights of children of Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The type of research used in this study is field research with a qualitative approach. The research was conducted in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Data were obtained through indirect observation, unstructured interviews, and document analysis. Informants were interviewed using purposive sampling techniques. The data were then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study show that Muhammadiyah’s efforts to advocate for the civil rights of PMI children are carried out through various initiatives, including the empowerment of PMI parents, dialogue, community-based social assistance, building networks with the PMI community, and establishing non-formal, community-based schools by developing an alternative education system. These efforts have proven effective in improving the children's access to their civil rights, particularly in the areas of education and religion.
