<![CDATA[This study aims to examine how radical ideologies shape the construction of women’s identities and influence their perceptions of social roles in Indonesia. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research combines in-depth interviews with women involved in extremist networks and literature analysis to capture the social and psychological dimensions of their experiences. The findings reveal that radical ideologies provide alternative identity frameworks that differ from traditional narratives portraying women as passive or subordinate. Instead, these ideologies offer a sense of empowerment, belonging, and purpose, attracting women who feel marginalised or dissatisfied with their societal positions. The study also finds that women’s involvement in radical groups can simultaneously challenge patriarchal norms while reinforcing ideological control under extremist structures. This duality illustrates how radical movements reconstruct gender roles and redefine women’s participation in sociopolitical life. The research concludes that dissatisfaction with social inequality and the search for meaning are key drivers of women’s radicalisation. Therefore, understanding the identity dynamics within this process is crucial for developing effective gender-sensitive strategies to prevent extremism. The article contributes to the broader field of gender and radicalisation studies by providing empirical insights into how women negotiate power, identity, and ideology in the context of Indonesian society. This study aims to determine the position of women as witnesses in Islam. Islam as a religion has legal principles that define women's roles and responsibilities in various areas of life, including as witnesses in Islamic law. This study examines the Islamic view of women as witnesses, evaluates the legal norms governing women's participation in testimony, and analyzes the application of these principles in Islamic jurisprudence. The research method analyzes classical Islamic texts such as the Quran and Hadith to understand the legal basis of women's testimonial role. In addition, the research also examines the various interpretations that have emerged on this topic in the Islamic tradition. The results of this study can provide a deeper understanding of whether the status of women as Islamic witnesses is in accordance with the principles of gender justice and equality and how the concept is implemented in contemporary Islamic jurisprudence. This research is expected to contribute to the literature on the role of women in the Islamic legal system, provide a balanced view on gender issues in the context of testimony and provide a discussion on the importance of Islamic values in the legal system of Islamic values in modern society.]]>
