Activism among women in mixed-marriages gained media attention as they advocated an amendment to the Citizenship bill in 2005 and 2006. In spite of the recognition, not too many people are aware that the idea to push for a discourse on citizenship in Indonesia was originally founded among a transnational network of Indonesian women living abroad. A long process of transnational activism brought them to the point of advocacy for the amendment. This article will discuss the uniqueness of their activism and show how it had reconstructed their identity and sense of belonging. It is important to bring this activism into discussion since Indonesian women marrying foreign-national men are frequently judged as non-nationalists.
