Starting from the aim of stopping the rebel movement, the enactment of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) of 1958 in practice became a boomerang for security stability in Northeastern India. The privileges granted by the government to soldiers are used as a pretext for discrimination and violations of human rights. The patriarchal tradition, which then considers women as property and weak creatures, causes women and children to suffer the most. Reports of sexual harassment cases, rape, and even murder unilaterally encouraged Meira Paibis as a grassroots women's movement to develop a strategy of resistance. Meira Paibis uses a non-violent approach through symbolic methods that are viewed as extreme and controversial in its mission. This research will describe the significant role of the Meira Paibis women's movement in organizing resistance to AFSPA policies and their efforts to achieve positive peace in Northeastern India. This paper will elaborate on the non-violence approach to see the strategies played by Meira Paibis and the obstacles faced in the process of achieving her goals.

Since it was recorded for the first time in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019, the number of cases of coronavirus infections around the world has been increasing every day. WHO further declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This pandemic certainly has direct implications for the country's condition, especially concerning issues of women and children. As one of the worst-performing countries in providing gender-based protection, Afghanistan has shown a significant increase in the number of gender-based physical, sexual, and psychological violence during the pandemic. By applying the structural violence and neopatriarchy approaches, this article conducted an in-depth analysis of the problem formulation of why Afghanistan experienced a significant increase in cases of gender-based violence (GBV) during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research results revealed that the patriarchal culture rooted in the constitution, competition in the legal system, and erosion in government institutions are some of the structural factors that have led to a significant increase in the number of gender-based violence in Afghanistan during the COVID-19 pandemic. The above factors have also caused several policies passed by the government during the pandemic that severely discriminated against women and children.

In recent years, the destruction of forests, which can take many forms including deforestation and forest fires, has emerged as a major concern worldwide, and Indonesia is no exception. The deforestation rate in Indonesia is rising annually due to a number of factors, including decentralization and illegal land conversion. Kalimantan, known as the "lungs of the world," is the most impacted area, accounting for 51% of total tree cover loss between 2001 and 2022. This situation is alarming as it undermines the sustainability of the flora and fauna ecosystem and directly affects global warming. The government has intensified its efforts to prevent and manage forest fires, working in collaboration with businesses and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) like Greenpeace to reduce the risk of forest damage. In addition to these efforts, a protection initiative by a group of women in Ketapang, West Kalimantan, has gained public attention. Known as The Power of Mama, this group, as the one most affected by forest fires, undertakes heroic effortsto stop forest destruction. This research aims to examine the impact of The Power of Mama on forest degradation and fire management in Ketapang, West Kalimantan. Using a nonviolence approach that emphasizes alternative strategies and tactics leading away from violence, this study demonstrates the long-term positive impact of The Power of Mama through patrols, outreach, counselling, and third-party intervention in managing forest damage and fires. Furthermore,using qualitative methods and focusing on secondary data collection, this research reveals several challenges encountered by The Power of Mama in implementing its actions. Despite these challenges, The Power of Mama's nonviolent strategies and efforts have achieved widespread recognition and have positively impacted sustainability. This is particularly evident in the recognition that women are not only victims of environmental degradation but also play a significant role in environmental protection.

Penentuan Pendapat Rakyat (Pepera) tahun 1969 tidak serta-merta mengakhiri konflik dan perlawanan yang berlangsung di Papua. Masalah terkait ketidakadilan, kesenjangan sosial-ekonomi, dan diskriminasi hukum terus muncul ke permukaan. Situasi menjadi semakin kompleks dengan munculnya gerakan separatis di bawah Organisasi Papua Merdeka (OPM) yang melawan pemerintah. Setelah pendekatan militer yang represif dianggap kurang efektif dalam menangani konflik, pemerintah mengadopsi pendekatan diplomasi damai. Pendekatan ini diwujudkan melalui kebijakan Otonomi Khusus yang diatur dalam Undang-Undang No. 21/2001 dan perubahannya, Undang-Undang No. 35/2008. Namun, undang-undang yang mulai berlaku sejak tahun 2001 ini belum sepenuhnya mencapai tujuan mendasarnya, yaitu membangun kembali kepercayaan publik dan menyelesaikan permasalahan di Papua. Penelitian ini menggunakan metodologi kualitatif sebagai alat untuk menjawab tujuan penelitian mengenai dinamika pelaksanaan Otonomi Khusus di Papua. Melalui pendekatan strategi dan taktik negosiasi dari Pruitt dan Carnevale, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa kerangka kerja otonomi khusus merupakan salah satu strategi negosiasi pemerintah Indonesia dalam merespons konflik Papua. Komitmen pemerintah terhadap pembangunanÂ mulai dari pendidikan dan infrastruktur hingga upaya perlindunganÂ menjadi solusi integratif untuk mengatasi konflik dari akarnya

The development of differing perceptions of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) has been one of the constant factors leading to the protracted dispute in the Himalayan border. Since the outbreak of war in 1962, recriminations and clashes between military forces have continued along the 3,488 km disputed area. Since 1980 both parties have continued to make efforts to resolve disputes with a fair and acceptable solution. Unfortunately, the initiations of these peace efforts have always been deadlocked. At first, in responding to India, China preferred to be passive. However, recently China has begun to respond with an assertive behavior. The deployment of army troops, military equipment, covert attacks, and massive infrastructure development was carried out by China in strategic Himalayan border. This study explores the changing of China’s assertive strategy in the Himalayas by employing offensive realism and using qualitative approach. This study has found that the changing behavior of China’s is related protecting its national interests and territorial sovereignty as well as a form of affirming the stability of China's dominance in the region. This study's results will provide an overview that there has been a shift in China's strategy for managing its border conflict with India.
