<![CDATA[Moderate Islam usually only understood as a counter narrative to radical Islamic movements or conservative Islam such as acts of radicalism, terrorism, and intolerance. Moderate Islam also has an important role in the liberation and empowerment of women. This can be seen in the NU and Muhammadiyah mass organizations as the two main currents of moderate Islam in Indonesia. Therefore, this study will examine the values or spirit contained in moderate Islam in Indonesia, especially the NU and Muhammadiyah mass organizations as the main drivers of moderate Islam in Indonesia and its urgency for the movement of women's liberation and empowerment. This research is a type of descriptive qualitative research with a literature study method. The results showed that Islamic organizations Nahdlatul 'Ulama and Muhammadiyah use contextual interpretation in understanding religious texts. This then gave rise to various women's organizations such as Muslimat or 'Aisyiyah and gender activists who participated in fighting for women's rights through movements, studies, and workshops. The expected conclusion shows that moderate Islamic values with their contextual interpretation are closely related to the spirit of maqashid sharia which is none other than in accordance with the principles of Human Rights (HAM) so as to support gender equality.]]>
