Abstract

Access to and use of digital technology promise positive impacts on young adults with disabilities’ social and economic integration, and on supporting their autonomy, and facilitating their inclusion into society. We conducted a scoping review and participatory approach to examine the barriers to access and utilization of digital technology to support the transition stage needs (in relation to education, daily living, community integration, and employment) of young adults with disabilities during Covid-19 pandemic. Identified barriers included affordability, availability, infrastructure, and access to community activities. The review highlights the importance of facilitators for promoting digital inclusion of 20 young adults with disabilities whose making batik with natural dyes. They are members of the Kubedistik SMEs in Tarakan. Online-based activities carried out during the Covid-19 pandemic show positive impacts, both in terms of increasing insight, skills, access to technology and literacy skills, as well as on self-confidence, work motivation, and potential for increased economic activity. Results suggested the need for greater emphasis on modeling and facilitating strategies to enhance skill, positive work-related cognitions, and appropriate non-verbal and paralinguistic styles.

Abstract

This study aims to examine gender inequality that occurs in Tarakan City, focusing on the experiences of women and friends with disabilities. This study uses a qualitative approach, with data collected through in-depth participatory observation and semi-structured interviews. The results of the study show that women in Tarakan often face various forms of inequality, including domestic violence (KDRT), discrimination in access to education and employment, and limited legal protection. The causative factors include patriarchal cultural norms, low gender equality literacy among the community, and lack of implementation of policies that protect women's rights. On the other hand, women with disabilities face additional challenges, such as social stigma, barriers to accessibility to public facilities, and limitations in inclusive healthcare, education, and work. This condition is further exacerbated by their lack of involvement in the decision-making process. The study recommends a range of strategic and preventive solutions, including gender-based education programs, inclusive skills training to increase women's economic independence, policy updates that support equality, and disability-friendly infrastructure improvements. In addition, awareness campaigns are needed to reduce social stigma and increase public understanding of the importance of protecting women's rights and disabilities. By understanding these inequality dynamics in depth, this research hopes to encourage the birth of more effective, sustainable, and participatory policies. In the end, the results of this research are expected to be able to create a more inclusive, equitable, and just society, so that it can empower women and friends with disabilities to play an active role in development.
