This article aims to explore further about social reproduction among Indonesian Migrant Domestic Workers (MDWs) in Hong Kong using a posthuman feminism-thinking framework. Marxist feminists use the concept of social reproduction to explain what is naturally eliminated in all aspects of the materialist production process. This phenomenon of disappearance is the most concrete form of how women's role is not considered as a determinant in the process of human life. Radical feminist criticism places the roles of women and men in a binary division of labor. Thus, the patriarchal system is then seen as the single root cause of the entire process of women's marginalization in the world of life. However, Marxist feminists locate historical materialism and social reproduction in the complexity of women's oppression. In fact, the main source of humanism-capitalism originates from the domestic space. The continuity of all this means that the MDWs have never been considered as the determining entity for the movement of humanism-capitalism. Posthuman feminism increasingly explains that anthropocentrism which until now has been a reference is nothing more than the world of men. The posthumanism perspective sharply wants to re-place women within the complexity of humanism-capitalism by using the "grounded theory" method.
