Abstract

This article analyses the disputed narratives regarding women's identity and public space in Pakistani society, as reflected in the ideological struggle between traditionalist and non-traditionalist power blocs. The primary objective of this research is to explore how group-based threat feelings shape the narrative and counter-narrative of gender rights, feminism, and religious identity in Pakistan. The study also aspires to analyze how the traditionalists perpetuate religious patriarchy, whereas non-traditionalists promote more political and social engagement of women. Based on Group Threat Theory as a conceptual lens, the study employs a qualitative case study methodology. It draws on social media data from Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, complemented with newspaper, television, journal articles, and protest archives. Data were collected through thematic content analysis of social media, visual media, and grassroots activism, using search terms such as "Aurat March" and "anti-feminism Pakistan." The findings indicate an intense intergroup tension: women's rights organizations, civil society, and feminist foreign policy-supporting media voices, all non-traditionalists, believe women's liberty is under an existential threat due to entrenched religious patriarchy. They counter by demanding women's empowerment on such matters as body rights, marriage, dowry, and public participation. Alternatively, traditionalists view these demands as a cultural and symbolic threat to male authority, Islamic values, and morality. This results in militant counter-discourses, institutionalized resistance at the state level, and efforts to solidify conservative gender norms. The article finds that this intensifying group threat dynamic has grown into a bigger political and cultural conflict, setting gender identity politics in Pakistan but also across similarly structured postcolonial Muslim nations.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and analyze the effectiveness of the Meutaloe Wareeh agricultural empowerment model in organic rice farmer groups in North Aceh. Meutaloe Wareeh is a local wisdom approach rooted in the values of cooperation and togetherness in Acehnese society, which is applied in sustainable agricultural land management. This model integrates organic farming practices with the principles of active farmer participation, environmentally friendly natural resource management, and capacity building through training and mentoring. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the Meutaloe Wareeh model significantly increased organic rice productivity and farmer welfare in North Aceh. In addition, this model has succeeded in reducing farmer dependence on chemical agricultural inputs and increasing local food security. Factors such as community commitment, government support, and access to organic markets have also played a role in the success of this model. However, challenges related to technology adaptation and climate change are still major concerns. Overall, the Meutaloe Wareeh model has proven great potential as a holistic and sustainable agricultural empowerment strategy, which can be replicated in other areas with adjustments to the local context.

Abstract

International, national, and local religious leaders and organizations' contributions to promote public health are increasingly being explored and explicated. Religious leaders and faith-based organizations can potentially play strong roles in influencing health behaviours, and compelling obedience to health policies, and health intervention measures. Importantly, they can help frame approaches that will ensure the successful implementation of health policies and measures. The central aim of this qualitative study is to explore and examine the role of religious bodies, as community gatekeepers and trusted authorities, in supporting health interventions and promoting their compliance. This study particularly focuses on the extent of their influence and the nature of the support they offer. The population for this study comprises 15 Christian and Muslim religious leaders in Yola North and South Local Government Area of Adamawa state in Nigeria who represented the views of their organizations. The questions centred on the spiritual, psychosocial, and humanitarian role they played during the peak outbreak of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the dialogues and partnerships they had with the government and health authorities, and the extent of their contribution to supporting health policies. The study finds that religious leaders can positively lend their reputation, offer guidance, and galvanize community effort to support behavioural changes, drive healthcare and ensure compliance with health measures.

Abstract

The Pattaungeng tradition is one of the cultural heritages of the Bugis people in Soppeng Regency, which is held annually as a form of gratitude for the harvest and respect for ancestors. This research aims to examine the role of the Pattaungeng tradition in strengthening social cohesion within the community. The method used is descriptive qualitative research with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The research informants include traditional figures, village government officials, and community members who actively participate in the tradition. The research findings indicate that the Pattaungeng tradition plays a significant role in strengthening social cohesion thru five main dimensions: (1) preserving cultural identity as a collective symbol of Bugis society, (2) intergenerational integration thru the transfer of values and norms, (3) the practice of collective deliberation (tudang sipulung) as a means of building consensus, (4) symbolic relationships with religion that provide spiritual legitimacy for cultural practices, and (5) strengthening socio-economic networks thru community cooperation and mutual contribution. This finding confirms that Pattaungeng is not merely a cultural ritual, but also a social mechanism that maintains solidarity, prevents individualism, and strengthens community bonds amidst the currents of modernization.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of social media has fundamentally transformed adolescents’ social interactions, positioning digital platforms as integral elements of everyday life. This study examines patterns of TikTok use among senior high school students and analyzes its implications for their social interaction practices. Drawing on Manuel Castells’ theory of the network society, this research adopts a qualitative descriptive approach conducted at SMA Negeri 5 Tebo, Jambi Province, Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with twelve informants, non-participant observation, and document analysis, and were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings reveal that students spend between one and five hours per day on TikTok, accessing the platform across various times and locations. TikTok facilitates the expansion of students’ social networks and provides spaces for self-expression and peer connectivity. However, intensive engagement with the platform also contributes to a decline in face-to-face interaction and fosters tendencies toward social withdrawal, which may affect students’ communication skills and the quality of interpersonal relationships. This study highlights the dual role of TikTok as both an enabling and constraining force in students’ social lives. Balanced guidance and contextual supervision are therefore essential to maximize the social benefits of social media while mitigating its potential risks
