Abstract

Culture is a dynamic construct that evolves alongside the changing needs of human life. This study seeks to foster cultural awareness among the Sumbanese people regarding the importance of recognizing and empowering women to define their own identities. The aim is to advocate for women's rights within the Sumbanese cultural framework, striving for a more just and egalitarian society. Employing a qualitative ethnographic approach, this research explores the role of local knowledge in shaping social behavior. The findings reveal that, at its core, Sumbanese culture holds deep respect for women, who are seen as moral agents with strong integrity. Moral intelligence, the capacity to distinguish right from wrong, significantly influences individuals’ commitment to integrity and their willingness to challenge cultural norms that marginalize women. The Legend of Mata Likku serves as a powerful expression of local wisdom that can be reinterpreted to catalyze cultural change and dismantle patriarchal systems in Sumbanese society

Abstract

Inclusive education in today's society is increasingly gaining ground, as awareness of equal rights and obligations grows. Gender equity has become a particularly compelling theme. Sumba Island, known for its strong patriarchal cultural practices, possesses a wealth of local wisdom that deeply protects and honors women as individuals worthy of respect. The legend of the origin of the rice plant is one example of local wisdom that deeply appreciates women's integrity in building a shared life. The purpose of this study is to build awareness of inclusion in Sumba, where women's presence is often overlooked in daily cultural practices and often treated unfairly. This study used a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with informants consisting of community leaders and traditional elders. Data were analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. The results of this study indicate that, from the legend of the Origin of the Rice Plant, the Sumbanese actually highly value and give a special place to women. This means that from the beginning, women in Sumbanese culture have been highly respected. Any recent practice of injustice against women is a violation of that culture itself.
