Abstract

The systematic analysis scrutinizes the psychoanalytic feminist of Nyai Ontosoroh character (a gundik- a woman who lives in a non-legal marriage with a man) as portrayed in This Earth of Mankindnovel by an Indonesian famous and influential literary figure, Pramoedya Ananta Toer. Drawing on inferential content analysis, this research depicted the psychological conflicts in the form of id, ego, and superego experienced by Nyai Ontosoroh. It was revealed that Nyai Ontosoroh's primary desires (id) centered on achieving personal freedom and independence and regaining custody of her daughter. However, she had undergone resistance from the Colonialism law (superego), which deemed her ineligible for custody and any inheritance from her former husband due to her status as a "gundik", not legally married to him. To reach a compromise, Nyai Ontosoroh took conscious and strategic steps (ego) to fight for her rights, such as marrying her daughter to a man she loved, attaining financial independence, and fighting against colonialism laws to regain custody of her daughter. This study's findings provide valuable insights for feminist activists looking to promote gender equality, as demonstrated through the character of Nyai Ontosoroh.

Abstract

Supreme Court Regulation (PERMA) No. 1 of 2016 concerning Mediation Procedures in Courts stipulates that all civil disputes in the First Instance Court must first be resolved through peace with the assistance of a mediator. The success of mediation in District Courts in Java is supported by certified non-judge mediators. Female non-judge mediators have the same role as male non-judge mediators. This study aims to analyze the role of the profession of female non-judge mediators in gender mainstreaming in District Courts in Java. A non-judge mediator is someone who acts as a liaison between disputing parties in the justice system. However, their role in ensuring gender equality and overcoming gender bias has not been widely explored. This research is descriptive qualitative, supported by primary data by conducting observations and data tracing in the field. Data were collected related to perceptions of gender equality, the challenges faced, and the practices they apply in mediation. The results of this study indicate that female non-judge mediators have varying awareness of gender issues. Some have taken steps to ensure equality in the mediation process, such as ensuring active participation of both parties and avoiding gender stereotypes. However, challenges remain, including a lack of specific training on gender mainstreaming and a lack of institutional support. This study provides recommendations to enhance the role of female non-judicial mediators in creating a more inclusive and equitable mediation environment. More rigorous training, practice guidelines, and support from the courts as well as relevant institutions are needed to ensure that female non-judicial mediators can effectively promote gender equality in the mediation process.

Abstract

This study aims to elucidate the motivations and risks experienced by female poll workers (KPPS) who served at the village level during the 2019 general elections in Banyumas Regency. Researh on the motivations and risks of KPPS members, critical to the success of election, remains limited. Existing studies have primarily focused on the implementation of policies to ensure 30% political participation by women. Employing a qualitative approach, this study identifies three main motivations that encouraged women to join as KPPS members in Banyumas Regency. Firstly, their established track record and expertise in coordinating elections motivated their participation. Secondly, having a background as social activists served as a driving force for active engagement in the electoral process. Thirdly, close and patron-client relationships with the village heads and officials provide additional motivation. The female poll workers also faced three risks. Firstly, working in a patriarchal culture posed challenges, as it tended to restrict women’s employment opportunities in private sectors. Furthermore, there was a potential risk of assuming only a complementary role. Moreover, the patron-client political structure at the village level created vulnerabilities. A key finding of this study is that female KPPS members with a background in activism exhibit greater self-assurance in their participation compared to those primarily recruited through close and patron-client ties with village elites.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of gender variations on job crafting and the perceived meaningfulness of work among workers at PT. X, a digital consulting business in Jakarta. The survey included 55 employees, 40 men and 15 women, who completed a questionnaire on their job transitions and the significance of their roles. The findings indicated that male employees had a greater propensity to alter their employment in alignment with their preferences and competencies, maybe due to a perceived sense of autonomy. Employees who transitioned to new positions often perceived their roles as more relevant since this adjustment aligned their employment closely with their personal preferences. Notably, despite males changing occupations more frequently, there was no disparity between men and women regarding the perceived significance of their employment. The survey underscores the necessity for employers to assist all employees, particularly women, in advancing their careers through training, mentorship, and flexible work arrangements, ensuring that every employee feels empowered and respected.

Abstract

The challenges of inclusive education in Banyumas Regency, apart from the lack of special assistant teachers, the inclusive curriculum, and inadequate facilities are the three deadly sins of education: bullying, intolerance, and sexual violence. This research aims to analyze how inclusive schools address the issue of these three sins of education. This research employed qualitative methods through a case study at SDN (State Elementary School) 5 Arcawinangun and SD (Elementary School) Terpadu Putera Harapan Purwokerto. Data collection was done through interviews, observations, and FGDs. The results showed that bullying cases were the most dominating cases in education, followed by intolerance and sexual violence. Bullying cases were also experienced by children with special needs. The school has made various efforts to overcome this problem, including anti-bullying socialization for students both in the classroom, such as through songs that are easily understood by children, and outside the classroom, such as during the flag ceremony. In addition, the school is responsible for providing an understanding to all school members about the existence of children with special needs to provide appropriate and non-discriminatory educational services.

Abstract

Parental stress is related to children's mental health and well-being. The success of stunting child care is influenced by the family's acceptance and coping response in caring for stunted children. The inability to accept a diagnosis of stunting in children is often responded to with denial as an emotional coping strategy that has an impact on decreasing childcare patterns. The purpose of this study was to explore the problems faced by parents in caring for children with stunting. The study used qualitative research, with semi-structured interviews through focus group discussions and brainstorming. One hundred eight experienced Integrated Service Post (Posyandu) cadres were participants, and data analysis was measured based on credibility, transferability, confirmability, and dependability. The study's results found four leading indicators of problems: problems related to nutritional management, negative responses to education/counseling, negative responses to child growth and development evaluations, and negative responses to integrated health post visits. Additional findings were picky eaters, lack of information/knowledge of stunting care, not visiting integrated health posts, and not accepting or caring about child growth and development. Readiness to be a parent who can choose coping mechanisms that solve problems can impact the care of stunted children.

Abstract

This study examines the phenomenon of the feminization of poverty through a case study of women informal parking attendants in the city of Surabaya. In the context of urbanization and economic inequality, poor women are increasingly pushed into vulnerable and unprotected sectors of informal labor. The aim of this research is to reveal the socio-economic realities, survival strategies, and structures of power relations faced by these women. Employing a qualitative approach, the study uses case study methods and in-depth interviews with seven primary informants. The findings show that these women work under legally uncertain conditions, shoulder the dual burden of public and domestic labor, and operate within an informal work structure dominated by patron-client relations and symbolic control. Nevertheless, the women also demonstrate agency through spatial negotiations, community solidarity, and survival strategies. The study concludes that the feminization of poverty in urban spaces is not only economic in nature, but also political and cultural. These findings highlight the urgent need for inclusive and gender-sensitive urban policies to ensure social sustainability for marginalized women in urban settings.

Abstract

Sexual violence is a significant problem within university environments, impacting not only the physical and psychological well-being of victims but also deteriorating the overall academic atmosphere. This cross-sectional analytic study aimed to examine the relationship between gender norms, prior experiences of sexual violence, and the perpetration of sexual violence among students at the University of Jember. A total of 176 students participated, selected through stratified proportionate random sampling. Data were collected using structured interviews and analyzed via Chi-square tests with a significance level set at 5%. The findings indicated that students with traditional gender norms, higher semester levels, and previous victimization experiences were significantly more likely to engage in sexual violence behavior. Conversely, no significant relationship was found between gender or age and perpetration. These results emphasize the influence of cultural and social factors on sexual violence behaviors in academic settings. The study recommends implementing educational programs promoting gender equality and providing psychological counseling to support students, particularly those with trauma histories, as effective measures to reduce the incidence of sexual violence on campus.

Abstract

Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFGBV) is an emerging and less explored dimension of workplace violence. This is particularly so in the hospitality sector, where women often occupy vulnerable, customer-facing roles. Despite increasing global recognition, little empirical evidence exists from low- and middle-income countries such as Zimbabwe, where digitalisation intersects with entrenched gender and labour inequalities. This paper investigates the patterns, impact, and institutional responses to TFGBV among women employed in Zimbabwe’s hospitality sector. A mixed-methods design was used, combining survey data from women working in the hospitality sector with document and policy analysis. Interpreted through feminist political economy and intersectional lenses, our findings demonstrate how digital technologies reproduce structural inequalities in feminised labour sectors, transforming existing vulnerabilities into new sites of control and exploitation. Unwanted sexual messages, online slander, and non-consensual image sharing were the most prevalent forms of TFGBV, frequently perpetrated by supervisors, colleagues, and clients. Further analysis showed that these digital abuses are embedded in workplace hierarchies and gendered power relations, resulting in psychosocial and economic harm, at the same time silencing women through fear of retaliation and weak institutional redress. Current workplace and national frameworks insufficiently address TFGBV, lacking specificity, enforcement, and survivor-centred safeguards. As such, TFGBV is both a digital rights and labour rights concern requiring gender-responsive reforms in Zimbabwe’s labour industry.

Abstract

Why Do Women Skip Fasting During Their Period? Integrating Curriculum Ibadah with a Women’s Perspective and the Reinterpretation of Menstruation (Haid). This study examines how female students at the Ahmad Dahlan Institute of Technology and Business Jakarta understand menstruation in relation to the practice of fasting and other acts of worship, which is based on coursework on campus. This study departs from controversies on social media between 2019 and 2020 concerning the permissibility of fasting for menstruating women. This qualitative research employs a grounded theory approach and collects primary data through in-depth interviews as well as open discussions in classroom learning and Gender Equality and Reproductive Health training. The respondents were aged 17–25 years and had backgrounds of activity in two categories, namely those merely active in the organization, and those active in the organization and have involvement in gender studies and women’s movements. The results show that first, female students who argue that menstruating women may fast or perform other acts of worship are considered liberal and as opposing the word of Allah Swt and the Qur’an. Second, female students who have not been involved in women’s movements tend to view the prohibition of fasting and other acts of worship as a rule based on the assumption that menstruation is “impure.” Third, respondents who are active in gender studies and women’s movements argue that fasting during menstruation may be permitted depending on a woman’s condition, and they reject the assumption that menstruation is something impure.
