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. Contribution: This research enriches the study of gender and public policy and provides practical recommendations for policymakers and future researchers to create a more equitable and inclusive social environment.

Abstract

Background: Gender inequality is often legitimized through religious interpretations, even though religions fundamentally promote the value of equality.Objective: This study aims to analyze the construction of gender discourse from a religious perspective and to identify forms of equality and the challenges that arise in practice. 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. Contribution: This study contributes to strengthening a contextual and inclusive reinterpretation of religion as an effort to promote more equitable gender relations.
