Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat formasi gerakan di seputar isu perlindungan hak buruh migran sektor domestik di Malaysia dengan melihat aktivisme transnasional dari empat organisasi masyarakat sipil, yakni WAO (Women’s Aid Organization), Tenaganita, NSI (North South Initiatives), dan AOHD (Archdiocesan Office of Human Development). Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Formasi serta pola jejaring lintas batas gerakan tersebut berkisar antara klaim hak asasi manusia, hak-hak buruh, kesetaraan gender di tempat kerja, dan nilai kemanusiaan. Identitas kolektif gerakan terfragmentasi menjadi tiga, yakni identitas kosmopolitan, aktivis kemanusiaan, dan anggota organisasinya. Maka, penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kewarganegaraan bukan lagi pembatas dalam melakukan aksi kemanusiaan.
