Abstract

This article aims to draw on the lessons and experiences of female leaders for what approaches should be nurtured and adopted in breaking the ‘glass ceilings.’ This research examines pathways to female leadership and public acceptance of their roles. The article offers strategies for the next generation of emerging female leaders, drawing from narratives of five female leaders in five religiously affiliated universities in Indonesia and three in the United States. This article argues that an intense external discourse could expedite the internal institutional force of change for female university leaders. A collective solidarity among professional peers is pivotal for women to reach leadership positions, however the institutional force must be sustained with a conducive social and political support. The ‘stepping ladders’ illustrate how women’s tracking to the leadership roles and building up a path to advance the chances remained a critical challenge, as exercising an ultimate command under the shadow of patriarchal can complicate the question of who is the true leader? The research contributes to widen the vision of what female leadership in the universities have advanced, highlighting the external and internal influence that entrenched and nurtured such development. These influences should be adaptable and structured to response to the critical call to reach the quantity and quality of female leadership to advance authority and agency contexts.[Abstrak: Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengambil pembelajaran dan pengalaman para pemimpin perempuan mengenai pendekatan apa yang harus dikembangkan dan diterapkan dalam mendobrak ‘langit-langit kaca’. Penelitian ini mengkaji jalur kepemimpinan perempuan dan penerimaan masyarakat terhadap peran mereka. Artikel ini menawarkan strategi untuk generasi pemimpin perempuan masa depan, yang diambil dari lima narasi pemimpin perempuan di lima universitas berafiliasi keagamaan di Indonesia dan tiga di Amerika Serikat. Artikel ini berargumentasi bahwa wacana eksternal yang intens dapat mempercepat perubahan kekuatan institusional internal bagi para pemimpin perempuan di universitas. Solidaritas kolektif di antara rekan-rekan profesional sangat penting bagi perempuan untuk mencapai posisi kepemimpinan. Kekuatan kelembagaan harus ditopang dengan dukungan sosial dan politik yang kondusif. ‘Tangga loncatan’ ini menggambarkan bagaimana upaya perempuan dalam mencapai peran kepemimpinan dan membangun jalur untuk meningkatkan peluang, masih menjadi tantangan, dimana menjalankan peran kepemimpinan tetapi berada di bawah bayang-bayang patriarki dapat mempersulit dalam menjawab pertanyaan tentang siapakah pemimpin yang sebenarnya? Penelitian ini berkontribusi untuk memperluas visi mengenai kemajuan yang dicapai oleh kepemimpinan perempuan di universitas, dengan menyoroti pengaruh eksternal dan internal yang memperkuat dan memupuk perkembangan tersebut. Pengaruh-pengaruh ini harus dapat disesuaikan dan lebih terstruktur demi menanggapi tuntutan penting untuk mencapai kepemimpinan perempuan baik secara jumlah dan kualitas guna memajukan konteks otoritas dan lembaga.]

Abstract

Women's reproductive rights are an inseparable part of human rights, firmly guaranteed within Islamic teachings. This article aims to examine the normative foundations of women’s reproductive rights in Islam and to analyze the psychological consequences of neglecting these rights within marital life. This study employs a normative and descriptive-qualitative approach based on library research, drawing from classical and contemporary Islamic legal sources as well as relevant psychological literature. The findings show that Islam offers comprehensive protection for women's reproductive roles. Four fundamental rights are emphasized: the right to choose a life partner, the right to enjoy dignified and healthy sexual relations, the right to make conscious and responsible decisions regarding pregnancy, and the right to raise and care for children in a supportive environment. When these rights are denied—either by the spouse or societal structures—women become vulnerable to serious psychological pressures, including chronic stress, depression, loss of self-worth, and in many cases, divorce as a form of resistance against injustice. Promoting awareness and respect for women’s reproductive rights is essential as part of safeguarding the objectives of Islamic law (maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah), especially the protection of life (ḥifẓ al-nafs) and lineage (ḥifẓ al-nasl). This article recommends gender-based education and spiritual approaches to foster mentally healthy, just, and harmonious family life.

Abstract

The study considerately challenges several stereotypes regarding women as victims in conflicts and their condemnatory identity as sources of defamation and social instabilities. Regardless of numerous alternative perspectives concerning women and peace, critical investigations by creative measures utilizing local values to promote security and tranquillity while promoting women's roles in society are limited. This paper investigates the approaches and methods of la Rimpu (a women-initiated school for changes) in chronic conflicts of neighbouring villages in Bima, West Nusa Tenggara, and their beneficial impacts. By combining an auto-ethnographic method, intensive participatory observations, in-depth interviews with women with experiences in la Rimpu, and document analyses, this article argues that revitalizing and integrating local values to foster peace and prevent conflicts alternate a reasonable and effective strategy for two main reasons namely building women's confidence in advocating the issues and preventing refusal from the natives. Local values are considered as a crucial cultural capital strengthening their identity and social solidarity.
