Description
This paper explores how poor urban migrants deal with disputes and crimes in Yangon's largest industrial areas. The main argument is that migrants have very low access to formal justice institutions, and few powerful personal connections to draw on, so they rely on informal mechanisms, and increasingly the new legal aid Community Based Organizations (CBOs). The area is home to the largest population of unregistered labour migrants in Yangon and is infamous for high levels of crime. Due to low job opportunities in the rural areas, both men and women, with their families as well as adolescents from all over the country settle here to work at the factories or to do different forms of day-labour, often with very low incomes. As this kind of labour migration is consistently increasing, most migrants live under dire conditions in squatter like housing, and some face evictions. Ethnographic research in the area during 2015-16 reveals that problems and crimes such as domestic violence, adultery, rape, child abuse, debt and theft cases are very frequent in the area. This paper focuses on what migrant people do when they face such problems and how justice providers resolve these problems. In the resolution of cases, it can be seen that informal one Hundred Household (100 HH) leaders are important, but when the case ends with formal justice providers, the migrants tend to lose the case because of lack of monetary means and powerful relationships. Now there is a growing number of CBOs that provide legal aid to poor migrants, but mainly in child abuse cases. Case studies on the experiences of poor migrants illustrate that justice-seeking strategies vary depending on economic situation, education, knowledge of the law and powerful personal connections.
