[ABSTRAK
Tesis ini membahas tentang perempuan pedagang dan budaya lokal menghadapi persaingan pasar. Penelitian ini akan menjelaskan situasi pasar dan kondisi perempuan pedagang lokal yang merefleksikan himpitan kapitalisme dan budaya lokal. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan pola berdagang dan strategi perjuangan perempuan pedagang lokal menghadapi himpitan kapitalisme dan budaya lokal. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian berprespektif perempuan dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Penelitian menggunakan metode wawancara mendalam dan observasi. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa persaingan pasar mempengaruhi keberadaan perempuan pedagang lokal serta peran LSM dan pemerintah dalam melindungi kepentingan kelompok perempuan telah dilakukan namun hanya sebatas pelaksanaan program. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah mama-mama pedagang lokal menghadapi persaingan pasar melalui pola berdagang dan strategi perjuangan secara sederhana atau tradisional. Perempuan pedagang lokal juga mengalami ketidakadilan gender yakni marjinilisasi, subordinasi, stereotipe dan beban ganda yang terlihat pada situasi pasar, pekerjaan perempuan pedagang lokal di pasar maupun pekerjaan domestik. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini merekomendasikan untuk mendukung perempuan pedagang lokal melalui advokasi kebijakan yang diatur dalam peraturan daerah (PERDA) terkait proteksi terhadap barang komoditi lokal serta fungsi pemasaran dan juga memastikan perempuan terlindungi dalam implementasi kebijakan UU Otonomi khusus (OTSUS) di Papua. Sehingga perempuan pedagang lokal mampu bersaing dengan pedagang pendatang.
