Abstract

Gender-based violence (GBV) remains one of Indonesia's most critical social issues, with thousands of cases reported annually and only a small proportion addressed legally. While global feminist movements like #MeToo and Ni Una Menos have been widely studied, there is limited research on localized feminist activism, particularly in regional contexts. This study explores the Women’s March Medan as a localized form of feminist resistance to GBV, aiming to understand how it raises awareness, builds solidarity, critiques structural inequalities, and navigates cultural and religious barriers. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with six participants, document analysis, media reviews, and direct field observations. Thematic analysis identified five main themes: (1) elevating vulnerable groups and critiquing structural violence, (2) symbolic actions as political statements, (3) constructing awareness of GBV, (4) localization of global feminist discourses, and (5) reclaiming public space amidst backlash. The findings highlight that the Women’s March Medan is not a mere replication of international feminist models but a localized adaptation blending global solidarity with Indonesia’s socio-cultural and religious contexts. This study contributes to feminist scholarship by demonstrating how grassroots activism in Medan transforms mourning into protest, negotiates legitimacy within cultural and religious frameworks, and asserts feminist presence in contested public spaces. It also offers insights into how local feminist movements adapt global discourses to respond to GBV in distinct socio-political environments.

Abstract

This study investigates the realization of epistemic values in Indonesian language classroom interactions, focusing on how lecturers at Politeknik Ganesha Medan employ speech acts to construct and negotiate knowledge during the teaching process. Adopting a qualitative descriptive approach, the research collected naturally occurring classroom data through observation, recording, and transcription. The analysis draws on Searle’s (1979) speech act theory integrated with an epistemic stance framework to explore how linguistic choices reflect epistemic positioning. The findings reveal that lecturers predominantly use assertive and directive speech acts to deliver information, guide reasoning, and confirm students’ understanding. These speech acts embody epistemic values such as authority, justification, evidence, and shared knowledge construction. Furthermore, the study identifies the use of evidential markers, modal verbs, and hedging devices that indicate varying degrees of certainty and epistemic responsibility. Such linguistic strategies help lecturers manage interpersonal relations, sustain engagement, and promote dialogic learning environments. The study concludes that epistemic values play a crucial role in shaping the quality of interaction and meaning-making in the classroom. Overall, this research contributes to educational linguistics and discourse analysis by demonstrating how epistemic meaning is enacted and negotiated in lecturer discourse within Indonesian tertiary education contexts.
