Abstract

In this world, there are various problems, one of which is the problem of gender equality. Gender has recently become a hot phenomenon to be discussed. This can be seen from the fact that there are still many people who think that men are better and have a higher degree than women. So the purpose of this study is to describe the existence of gender equality in an Islamic perspective and gender equality in education in Indonesia. The method used is a literature study with careful repeated observation analysis techniques and then concluded qualitatively descriptively. The results of the study show that gender equality is highly respected in Islam and Indonesian education where from an Islamic perspective it has the same position between men and women starting from getting rewards, being servants of Allah and caliphs, achieving achievements to carrying out their obligations. Meanwhile, gender equality in the perspective of education in Indonesia is contained in Article 27 paragraphs 1 and 2 and the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 7 of 1994 concerning the elimination of discrimination, and Law No 20 of 2003 on the National Education System.

Abstract

This research explores the influence of Syafi'i Ma'arif's progressive and inclusive views on the role of women in leadership within the 21st-century digital era. Syafi'i Ma'arif, an esteemed Indonesian Muslim intellectual, has been instrumental in promoting gender equality and advocating for a more inclusive interpretation of Islamic principles, particularly regarding women’s rights and leadership roles. By employing a descriptive qualitative approach, this study examines Ma'arif's written works and draws insights from interviews with contemporary scholars and leaders inspired by his ideas. The analysis reveals that Ma'arif's emphasis on inclusivity challenges traditional gender norms and advocates for women's active participation in leadership across various sectors, including politics, education, and the economy. His forward-thinking perspective is especially relevant in the digital era, where the need for more inclusive leadership is increasingly recognized globally. Furthermore, the research highlights how Ma'arif’s views have resonated with contemporary Islamic thought, encouraging a re-evaluation of women's leadership roles in light of both religious teachings and modern societal demands. Through his works, Ma'arif has contributed to creating a framework for Islamic leadership that embraces diversity and promotes the empowerment of women. The study concludes that his thoughts provide valuable insights for addressing current challenges in promoting gender equality within Muslim-majority societies, particularly in navigating the complexities of the digital world.

This research aims to look at women in the trap of modernization caused by the colonial era and the new order. The research method used is descriptive-qualitative. The data collection technique is done with contrapuntal reading strategy. Data analysis is done as follows. First, read the literature in depth until a thorough understanding is obtained. Second, recording narratives and events about women in the colonial era and the new order era. Third, examining each problem using Edward Said's framework. Fourth, presenting the results of the analysis. The result of the research is that women experienced discrimination in the scope of society due to the stigma built during the colonial era and the new order. The existence of MPR Decree No. IV of 1999 did not change the stereotype of women not being separated from the mattress, well, and kitchen.

Abstract

Violent extremism is no longer carried out by men against women. Now, this violence also involves women as actors, such as in cases of terror against the police and even calls for hatred towards other people or groups. This research aims to analyze the typology of violent extremism to explore the roots of the emergence of violent extremism that occurs in the context of women in Yogyakarta city. This research uses a qualitative approach through observation and interviews to collect data. Data analysis uses reduction, display, analysis, and conclusion.The results of the research show that cross-cultural conflicts between immigrants and native residents cause the three typologies of violent extremism at the micro level. In mezzo, there is fanaticism based on group, culture, or religion. At the macro level, the mobilization of women calls for hatred and rejection of different views and groups (Intolerance). The causes are inherent fanaticism, lack of knowledge about other groups, and low literacy and critical ability to obtain information. So, the tendency to act frontally in some cases comes to the fore.
