Abstract

The socio-environmental aspects of Galian C Mining activities demonstrate the complexity of the problems, including inter-community conflicts, landslides, drought, and damage to river and forest ecosystems that support life. This also affects the economy by threatening the agricultural sector due to damaged irrigation systems and declining soil quality. However, studies on gender aspects, particularly women's experiences and roles in responding to these impacts, are still limited. This study aims to analyze the impact of Galian C Mining activities on women's groups and explore community resistance movements led by women. This type of research is qualitative with a case study method. The research subjects include key actors in the movement, affected communities, and members of the movement network. Data collection methods included in-depth interviews, field documentation, and literature reviews. Data analysis methods used the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results show that in terms of gender, women are the most impacted group because they bear the double burden of the patriarchal system. The conclusion of this study confirms that women experience multiple vulnerabilities while simultaneously playing an active role in the socio-ecological resistance movement. The implications of this research require the reconstruction of Mining policies by integrating gender perspectives, involving women in decision-making, and strengthening equitable and sustainable natural resource governance.
