Abstract

Women and nature are often articulated as two things that are very close and near . Environmental problems that occur today are not gender-neutral because when natural damage occurs, women are the parties most at risk of being affected. Exploitation and conflict of natural resources affect women's welfare. On the other hand, women still experience various obstacles in fighting for and defending their environment and life, women's access and control over natural resources are still minimal, while women are also almost not involved in decision making, face stigmatization, and so on. This study uses the research method of socio-legal research by using an interdisciplinary approach between aspects of normative research and a sociological approach. The results showed that women's groups were not involved in the formation of regulations in the field of natural resources in South Kalimantan and the existing arrangements had not specifically accommodated women's problems, needs, knowledge, and experiences.

Abstract

Child marriage is still a controversial and big challenge that Indonesia has always faced, with Kalimantan Selatan as one of the Big Five Provinces with the highest number of child marriages. The Indonesian government has taken various preventive steps, one of which is revising the age limit for brides from 16 to 19 years old, enacted right before Covid-19 hit the country. However, the revision still begs questions about whether the age limit is practical due to the highest number of unregistered marriages, especially during the pandemic. This study employed the Qualitative method with a Socio-Legal approach and found that the perception and legal consciousness of the respondents were undisputed towards child marriage and disregarded the age limit and the pandemic situation.

Abstract

The representation of women in village governance, particularly in the Village Consultative Body (BPD), is mandated by Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages. Fulfillment of this mandate becomes a subject of debate when the role is merely symbolic to meet the quota of women in village governance. In this context, the method employed is qualitative analysis, utilizing a socio-legal approach that highlights the complexity of social and legal dynamics influencing women's representation in the Village Consultative Body. The role of female representatives is crucial in enhancing the welfare of rural communities, simultaneously contributing to the realization of a corruption-free village. Additionally, they possess a unique closeness and empathy towards the issues faced by women in their villages, enabling them to gain the trust of the community. Residents of Kota Raja Village also perceive female candidates as being corruption-free and capable of fulfilling their duties and responsibilities, thereby earning trust from their respective neighborhood associations (RT - Rukun Tetangga). This situation is evident in the increased representation of women in the governance of Kota Raja Village, especially in the Village Consultative Body. In the newly elected Village Consultative Body for the period 2023-2029, 50% of its members are women, up from 44%. This figure demonstrates the positive perception of Kota Raja Village residents regarding the importance of women's representation in village governance. However, doubts persist regarding whether women's representation is merely symbolic and whether it reflects sincere efforts to empower women in village governance. Nonetheless, this raises further questions about the skills of female representation in addressing the complex issues faced by rural communities.and application within the framework of Indonesian law.
