Abstract

According to article 33 paragraph 3 Constitution of Indonesian Republic 1945, Indonesia's natural wealth is controlled by the state and is used for the welfare of the people. With economic activity every citizen can utilize the natural resources. The activities of micro, small and medium enterprises are among the supports of the national economy. Number of MSMEs is about 57.9 million, covering micro business 98.82 percent, small business 1.09 percent, and medium enterprises 0.09 percent, and 60 percent of the actors are women. Generally household businesses that do not have legality and have various limitations. Legal research with socio-legal approach of research to women micro business actors in the field of fishery showed no government siding.There are 70 percent or approximately 39 million people are women from 56 million people involved in fishing activities. Approximately 47 percent work in the processing and marketing of catches with an average majority working 17 hours per day.It is also recognized by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). In Indonesia the juridical existence of women fishermen has not gained state recognition and has not been accommodated in the Fisheries Act. In practice, the imbalance of legal relationships in fishery product transactions results in the powerlessness of women fishermen as business actors in business.Therefore, it needs guidance and empowerment as well as recognition of the existence of women fishermen as business actors to provide legal protection through strengthening institutional and government policies both at the central and regional levels.
