Abstract

The results showed that gender relations in the management of coastal resources in fishing households took place in the following activities: fishing; making fishing lines; netting; net embroidery; fish transportation; fish preservation; and sale of fish. Of the seven activities, the wife plays a role in almost all coastal resource management activities, except for fishing activities. In addition, the wife does all domestic roles while the husband only focuses on the public role and does not involve himself in the domestic role. In view of the structural-functional theory, the results of this study illustrate that gender relations in coastal resource management in fishing households indicate a power relationship and status differences between men and women. The involvement of the wife (woman) in almost all activities is a form of integration (integration) carried out by the wife (woman) to maintain the continuity of the household and maintain the balance of the family integrity system, although this role is not balanced but complementary. The results of this study also show that gender relations in the management of coastal resources in fishermen's households have ideologically “perpetuated” male domination and gender stratification in fishermen's family institutions and society in general.

Abstract

Gender-based agrarian inequality remains a structural constraint that limits women farmers’ access to resources and recognition of their labor, particularly among landless women. This study examines how landless women farmers understand agrarian exclusion and develop resistance within unequal rural agrarian structures. Using a critical qualitative approach with an ethnographic–narrative case study design, the research involved ten landless women engaged in agricultural and rural livelihood activities. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, document analysis, and thematic analysis. The findings show that the absence of formal land ownership does not negate women’s agency. Instead, women interpret agrarian inequality as a structural issue and respond through contextual, everyday resistance practices. These include strategic management of agrarian labor, mobilization of community-based social capital, use of local knowledge, and the rearticulation of identity from invisible farm laborers to household livelihood managers. This study contributes to feminist agrarian scholarship by foregrounding women’s agency and challenges dominant narratives that frame landless women farmers as merely passive and vulnerable, underscoring the need for gender-responsive agrarian and rural development policies.
