Abstract

Background: Gender inequality remains prevalent despite efforts toward equality, as traditional roles and patriarchal structures still limit women's participation and access. Resolving this requires applying egalitarian principles effectively in policies and programs. Objective: This study aims to analyze gender issues from the perspective of egalitarianism, specifically how women and men are positioned equally in social status and roles. Methods: This research uses a qualitative approach with critical discourse analysis of various gender policies, programs, and discourses in the social context. Results: four main factors reflect the egalitarian principle: (1) policies and programs must reflect the experiences of both men and women, (2) women must have access and control over programs, (3) women need to be actively involved in policy planning and implementation, and (4) it is necessary to evaluate the impact of programs on women. Conclusion: Implementing gender equality requires a legal framework and the active participation of women in all decision-making stages. Originality/Value: This study offers valuable critical insights in the field of gender studies, sociology of religion, and public policy by identifying four core pillars of egalitarian implementation, which comprise the integration of shared gender experiences, direct access and control over initiatives, active female involvement in planning, and targeted impact evaluation regarding gender roles and social status negotiation within the context of religious perspectives and patriarchal structural challenges, an area that remains insufficiently synthesized in existing literature. These findings enrich current empirical discourse and serve as a strategic reference for public policymakers, gender equality advocates, and scholars in developing inclusive legal frameworks, formulating equitable program interventions, and fostering inclusive decision making environments.

Abstract

Background: Gender inequality is frequently legitimized through religious interpretations, despite core theological doctrines fundamentally affirming values of human equality. Objective: This study aims to examine how gender discourse is constructed across religious perspectives and identify both existing paradigms of equality and practical implementation challenges. Method: This study employs a qualitative approach using gender discourse analysis through a literature review of religious texts and academic sources. The analysis was conducted through stages of data reduction, thematic categorization, power relation analysis, and critical interpretation. Results: All religions examined in this study possess normative foundations that support gender equality in spiritual, social, and moral dimensions. However, social practices remain influenced by patriarchal culture, as reflected in the restriction of women’s roles, male dominance in leadership, and bias in the interpretation of religious teachings. Conclusion: Religion plays an ambivalent role as both a source of legitimization and a driver of social transformation toward gender justice. Originality/Value: This study expands theoretical and discursive perspectives in the fields of sociology of religion, gender studies, and critical discourse analysis by uncovering the ambivalent role of religion as both an instrument of legitimization and a catalyst for social transformation, demonstrating that normative religious foundations affirm spiritual and moral equality despite persistent patriarchal constraints in social practice regarding gender roles and status construction across religious traditions, an area that remains insufficiently explored through comparative discourse analysis. These findings enrich existing conceptual literature and serve as a strategic reference and contribution to advancing contextual and inclusive religious hermeneutics, informing gender responsive interfaith dialogues, and designing equitable social policies.
