Abstract

The world of International Relations will never be separated from its history. Countries in the Middle East, especially Muslim-majority countries, still have a lot of conflicts going on. However, the contribution of Islam to the world of peace never stops. In the contemporary world, for example, this contribution is realized through the participation of Islamic countries in United Nations Peacekeeping Operations (UN PKO). This study aims to analyze the contributions of female peacekeepers of Islamic countries. This research uses the concept of peacekeeping and analyzes secondary data with the quality method and literature review approach as the data collection technique.  The result of this research shows that eight of 12 peace missions involved Muslim-majority countries such as Bangladesh, Pakistan, Egypt, and Indonesia, which sent the most female peacekeepers. This study found that the Muslim-majority countries have successfully implemented the UN PKO program, especially for the increasing number of female peacekeepers agenda. It also found that the female peacekeeper has a substantive and public function in the operations, such as their contribution to the operation in logistical, informational branches, and medical aid aspects. However, the UN PKO still emphasizes masculinity. This study shows that domestic issues including inadequate military personnel and social stigmatization of women's peacekeeping engagement greatly reduce women's representation in UN peacekeeping operations. This inherently impacts the Women, Peace, and Security agenda.

Abstract

This study examines the localization of gender equality norms within the governance framework of Parepare City, Indonesia, as part of international cooperation under the Maju Perempuan Indonesia untuk Penanggulangan Kemiskinan (MAMPU) program initiated in 2015. It aims to explain how global gender equality principles are translated, negotiated, and institutionalized within local policy and administrative systems. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research draws on an extensive literature review and secondary data analysis, including government documents, local regulations, and program reports. The findings reveal that the Parepare City Government has made substantial progress in embedding gender equality norms through three interrelated dimensions: (1) policy reform, marked by the issuance of key local regulations such as Regional Regulation No. 5 of 2015 on Gender Mainstreaming in Regional Development and Regional Regulation No. 12 of 2015 on the Protection of Women and Children; (2) institutional expansion, through the strengthening of gender-responsive agencies, participatory planning forums (Musrenbang Perempuan and Musrenbang Anak), and cross-sectoral coordination; and (3) social transformation, reflected in growing public participation and increased reporting of gender-based violence cases. The study concludes that Parepare’s success in institutionalizing gender equality stems from its ability to align global frameworks with national mandates and local priorities, strengthened by credible intermediaries and sustained political commitment. The originality of this research lies in its focus on Parepare as an empirical model of localized gender governance, demonstrating how transnational gender norms can be integrated into local institutions, sustained beyond donor cycles, and advanced through rights-based and participatory governance at the subnational level in Indonesia.
