This study examines the egalitarian thought of Ibn ‘Āshūr. To limit the scope of the discussion, the author focuses on two main issues: first, how the protection of female workers with dual roles is regulated in Law No. 13 of 2003 on Manpower; and second, how the concept of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah reflects egalitarian values in the thought of Ibn ‘Āshūr. This research is a library-based study employing content analysis as its analytical method. The primary sources of this study are Ibn ‘Āshūr’s works on maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah and Law No. 13 of 2003 on Manpower, which regulates the protection of female workers with dual roles. The findings of this study show: first, that Law No. 13 of 2003 contains several provisions that protect the dual roles of female workers; and second, that Ibn ‘Āshūr’s egalitarian perspective, viewed through the framework of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, is in line with the spirit of protection embodied in Law No. 13 of 2003 on Manpower.
