The Long Road Home: Journeys of Indonesian Migrant Women Workers employs a documentary photographic approach to explore the lived experiences of Indonesian women working abroad. The images reveal themes of labor migration, separation, and resilience, capturing both the personal and collective journeys these women undertake.

Photographs within the book depict moments of departure, the challenges faced in foreign environments, and the emotional ties to home, emphasizing the complex realities of Indonesian foreign workers. The visual narrative underscores the socio-economic pressures driving migration and the enduring connections to family amidst hardship.

Published in 2011 by the International Labour Organisation, the work by Sim Chi Yin provides a visual account that situates migrant labor within broader discussions on foreign workers and gendered migration in Indonesia.
