Abstract

The current study examined the challenges of women living under Lampung’s highly stringent customary law pertaining to the acquisition of home ownership rights in 3 villages in Hulu Sungkai, North Lampung, Indonesia. In Lampung customary law, the home is conferred to the male descendant. This study employed the constructivist perspective and used data collected from field observations, interviews, document analyses, and literature reviews to address the practices of traditional power among Lampung women. The research results indicate that the construct of customary law has positioned women and men differently, subsequently leading to unequal treatment of women in the family. Patriarchy’s dominance in Lampung customary law has made life more difficult for women, who are already responsible for housekeeping and enriching education. Still, customary practices provide them no opportunity of any kind, and this has negative consequences. Women are highly dependent on men, and women frequently become victims of domestic violence. The construct of Lampung customs has established how women are treated in society. Lampung’s customary construct needs to be counterbalanced by a better public understanding of property ownership laws so that people have more gender awareness regarding home ownership.

Abstract

The case of a state official required a Deaf person to answer questions submitted to a Deaf person on World Disabilities Day in 2021 by using spoken language and refusing to use sign language because it was considered that the disabled have the same abilities as the non- disabled group. The perception of these state officials is a representation of the Indonesian population in understanding disabilities. The purpose of this research is to prove that Indonesia already has a policy to align the life positions of disabled people with non-disabled people, but these policies do not reach the community level, so that people are not friendly to people with disabilities. This research uses descriptive qualitative method by analyzing interview data and indirect observation, as well as combining secondary data obtained from previous research, the website found that facilities in the form of infrastructure were uneven and low sign language skills for non-disabled groups led to a lack of knowledge about the existence of disabilities. The result of this study shows that the disabled group cannot adapt to their own environment so that the existence of disabilities is not widely known by the public. The lack of knowledge about people with disabilities causes people to think that disabled groups are the same as non-disabled groups. Such perception is then considered by the people of Indonesia to be unfriendly to persons with disabilities.
