This paper defines women’s status and agency in Information Technology (IT) in education and career as a programmer. In fact, technology is never a neutral ground. Technologies have a masculine image not only because they are dominated by men but because they incorporate symbols, metaphors and values that have masculine connotations. How do women define, control and transform herself in this area? The transformation of relationship between women and machine is important to be investigated. The new definition about masculinity domination and the new style is the technofeminism movement. Technofeminist approachesemphasize that the gender–technology relationship is fluid and flexible. Therefore we can re-define “technophobia†to “technophiliaâ€, as a celebration of woman’s agency to new digital age.

In 2013 and 2014 it is recorded that 42% of women and 58% of men are infected with HIV. So far government response to HIV / AIDS still maintains that men and women as the same entity. The highest group being infected with HIV / AIDS in Indonesia today is housewives with a number reached 6,539. In Surakarta, low-risk group housewives infected with HIV/AIDS—recorded 346 cases as of August 2014. The amount is higher when compared to HIV and AIDS in the group of Female Sex Workers (FSW)—recorded 154 cases. Government response to the low risk group of housewives are still minimal. Strategic National Action Plan (SRAN) HIV and AIDS 2010-2014, housewives with low risk have not yet been targeted. Policies at the level of local government, planning and implementation of HIV / AIDS are still focused on key populations and people living with HIV/AIDS to reduce the number of new cases while housewives are still unreached.

WHO stated that “One in Three†women have experienced physical or sexual trauma globally (WHO, 2013). Statistics show that girls and women are not safer in their own homes as perpetrators are usually their intimate others or family members (Indonesian National Commission Anti Violence Against Women, 2015). Sexual violence experienced during childhood years/stage of development is likely to leave traumatic scars into adulthood if left untreated. Research in the US and Australia had indicated that survivors of sexual violence during childhood years are more susceptible to revictimization of other gender-based violence in later stage of their lives. Survivors of sexual violence are usually reluctant to report thus living silently with their trauma for years or even decades. Incest survivors found it especially hard to report their traumatic incidents because their perpetrators are family members or those familiar or with easy access around the family house/area. Research also indicated that sexual coercion showed the most negative impact compared to other traumatic coercions. Clinical and counseling psychologists with human rights perspectives need to be available to provide professional services to prevent further life trauma to survivors of sexual violence. Family therapy or a systemic approach should be an option to also provide a supportive environment as well to manage stigma from the family or from society attached to those with history of sexual violence. Services need to be strengthened, which also include interventions for perpetrators of sexual violence.

This paper focuses on the experience of domestic workers who experience violence, discrimination and neglect of rights committed by employers as well as management of apartments where domestic workers work. From the data of six domestic workers withdiverse backgrounds who were interviewed in depth, it can be revealed that every domestic worker has experienced violence during work. There are forms of violence that can be easily recognized as violence, but there is also some discrimination and violence that are not viewed as violence or are considered fairness. This type of discrimination and violence is usually associated with inappropriate work situations. The vulnerability situation faced by domestic workers because of the scope of their work in this private domain is an implication of the absence of laws protecting domestic workers in carrying out their work. Therefore, the existence of law as an umbrella law of domestic workers protection as well as other workers becomes a fundamental requirement.

This paper elaborates strategy to stop child marriage in NTB (Nusa Tenggara Barat) via local culture that internalized in formal education. Child marriage has ruined the future of children. This practice is not just as well as ignoring the rights of children under the disguise of religion and adat. Child marriage in NTB via merariq tradition has violated child’s rights as well as making girls vulnerable under Sasak Adat Law. However if being investigated further this tradition is giving full autonomy to girls in taking decision in marriage. In modern era, this rights and autonomy are not being exercised and even erased from girls’s rights. this creates more vulnerability to girls. The reformed merariq adat law need to be reformed and inserted into formal education so that girls are empowered and able to fight against child marriage.

This study examines the role of women prawn farmers in Dipasena, East Rawajitu District, Tulang Bawang, Lampung and what it means for human development in Indonesia. Several focus group discussions and indepth interviews with women prawn farmers and fishermen community were conducted to collect data and understand comprehensively the issues that women prawn farmers face in a patriarchal culture where they are not acknowledged as women workers. This paper uses a feminist perspective on women and work and Martha Nussbaum’s capability categories. This paper concludes that women’s roles and contribution in fishery and in national development is not recognized and not accommodated in national and local policies. Women’s role in fishery industry is considered non-existent in this society and therefore restrict their potential and meaningful existence and respect on equal human dignity.

This paper attempts to analyze how Indonesian gay males and transgenders male to female in two different social, cultural and political contexts (in Indonesia and Northern Europe) are actively engaged in the making of their own subjectivity. Their subjectivities are entangled with gender, sexuality, religion, romantic love relationships and kinship. They juggle in negotiating and making sense of norms and values of societies that projected towards them. This paper aims to shed light on gender politics of gay and transgender Indonesians in the context of heterosexual hegemony and migration.

This paper examines theological sources of Islam on the status of women in Politics. Al Quran states that equality between men and women are guaranteed in politics such as in Quran: Ali Imran, 195; an Nahl, 97; at Taubah, 71. Islamic politics based on the following postulates: first, freedom (al Hurriyyah). Human beings are only serving God. Second, equality (Musawah, non-discriminatory). All human being are equal in front of Allah. Third, respect to other human beings (Karamah al Insan/ preserving the other human’s dignity). Fourth, justice (‘Adalah). Theological sources of Islam has given foundation for the contemporary status of women in politics which had long been stripped away due to misogynistic interpretation of Quran. Quran has ontologically supply equality and justice to human rights that can be used in politics and state affairs.
