Abstract

This study explores gender equality in Islam through three main dimensions: the fundamental concepts of gender and equality, the Islamic principles of justice, and the strategic roles of women in da’wah and education. Employing a qualitative descriptive method with a library research approach, this research draws on primary sources (the Qur’an and Hadith) and contemporary academic literature. Data were analyzed thematically through stages of reduction, presentation, and conclusion. The results indicate that Islam provides strong theological and social foundations for promoting equitable and contextual gender equality. Conceptually, gender is viewed as a social construct that can be reconstructed through critical awareness and justice-oriented interpretation. The principles of monotheism and justice in Islam affirm the spiritual and social equality of men and women while acknowledging their natural distinctions. In da’wah and education, women serve as educators, agents of social transformation, and active contributors in both domestic and public spheres. The study concludes that gender equality in Islam is not an adaptation of modern values but an intrinsic expression of divine justice and human dignity contained within Islamic revelation.

Abstract

This study reexamines the Qur’anic narrative of the creation, relationship, and descent to earth of Adam and Eve through a gender-just interpretive framework. Classical interpretations have often portrayed women as secondary beings or as the primary cause of humanity’s misfortune, views largely shaped by patriarchal assumptions rather than grounded in the Qur’anic text itself. Employing a literature-based qualitative approach and a thematic exegesis (tafsīr maudhu‘ī), this study examines key Qur’anic verses including Surah 4:1, 7:11–27, 20:115–122, and 39:6, by comparing traditional exegetical perspectives with contemporary gender-sensitive interpretations. The findings demonstrate that the Qur’an affirms the ontological equality of men and women through the concept of nafs wāḥidah (a single shared essence) and does not attribute exclusive responsibility for humanity’s earthly descent to Eve. This article contributes to Qur’anic gender studies by reconstructing the Adam–Eve narrative as one that emphasizes collective moral responsibility and mutuality, in accordance with the Qur’an’s broader principles of justice, reciprocity, and gender equality.

Abstract

The gender roles played by husbands and wives have considerable impacts on the stability of marriage. However, marital instability can lead to divorce. Egalitarian (nontraditional) gender roles cause negative effects on marital stability. This research tried to reveal the perception of married couples in Java about their gender roles, whether egalitarian or traditional. This study found the fact that in general, husband and wife who become respondents tend to choose egalitarian (non-traditional) gender roles, even though in three aspects they still adhere to the patriarchal (traditional) gender role, most of them reject the concept of: (a) household leadership based on agreement (not on sex); (b) the possibility of providing cost of living from wife to husband; and (c) household expenses are shared responsibility. Moreover, the egalitarian gender perception of the respondents has negative impact on marital stability. Fortunately the impact is not significant.

Abstract

This study examines cases of violence, particularly sexual abuse of children, perpetrated by authorities in Islamic boarding schools in Lamongan, as represented in INews media coverage. The study employs a qualitative descriptive approach and draws on Teun A. van Dijk’s model of critical discourse analysis, which encompasses three dimensions: textual analysis, social cognition, and social context. The textual analysis focuses on the macrostructure, superstructure, and microstructure of the news discourse to identify dominant themes and narrative patterns. The findings indicate that the reports not only present factual information regarding the perpetrator’s arrest but also construct a broader discourse on the abuse of power by religious authorities. At the macrostructural level, the coverage foregrounds themes of criminality within religious institutions. At the superstructural level, the narrative is systematically organized, moving from case introduction to public reaction. At the microstructural level, the discourse employs assertive diction and an emotionally charged style to emphasize the gravity of the case. In terms of social cognition, the news discourse reflects a journalistic stance aligned with law enforcement and the protection of victims. Within the dimension of social context, the discourse reveals unequal power relations, in which the perpetrator occupies a dominant position while the victims are placed in vulnerable conditions. The INews coverage contributes to raising public awareness and encourages firm responses to sexual abuse within religious-based educational institutions.

Abstract

The inequality in the implementation of menstrual leave rights for women in the workplace in Indonesia remains a significant issue, despite being regulated under Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower. This study aims to analyze the factors contributing to this inequality and to examine the phenomenon through the lens of liberal feminist theory. This research employs a qualitative literature review method, collecting and analyzing data from various written sources, including books, journal articles, and research reports. The findings indicate that inequality in the implementation of menstrual leave rights is influenced by legal, cultural, economic, and internal company policy factors. The main obstacles include weak enforcement of regulations, social stigma surrounding menstruation, complicated administrative procedures, and a workplace culture that is not gender-sensitive. From a liberal feminist perspective, this inequality reflects the failure of both the state and companies to ensure equal rights and adequate protection for women workers. The implications of this inequality affect women’s health, well-being, and position in the workplace. This study recommends strengthening regulatory oversight, reforming company policies, and promoting education to eliminate menstrual stigma in order to create a fair and equitable working environment for women.

Abstract

This article discusses the importance of cognitive development in early childhood as a crucial phase that establishes the foundation for subsequent learning and intellectual growth. The study emphasizes the application of Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky’s theories to support cognitive development through constructive, collaborative, and experiential approaches. Additionally, the role of family and educational environments in stimulating children’s thinking, imagination, and social skills is explored in depth. The utilization of science-based play, verbal stimulation, and optimal social interaction is believed to enhance children’s critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. This research aims to serve as a reference for parents, educators, and researchers in developing effective strategies to optimize early childhood cognitive development.

Abstract

In societies where social norms are still largely based on traditional gender dichotomies, non-conventional gender expressions frequently encounter rejection and stigmatization, a phenomenon observed in both real life and popular media, including anime. This study employs Roland Barthes' semiotic approach to analyze Tsubaki's character in the anime Wind Breaker, aiming to uncover the denotative and connotative meanings of the gender symbols displayed. By focusing on visual elements such as lipstick, feminine clothing, gestures, and dialogue, the research investigates how these signs construct a narrative about gender identity that is fluid and performativity. Findings reveal that Tsubaki's representation acts as a form of counter-hegemonic discourse, challenging binary gender schemes and fostering a more inclusive interpretation of identity. However, the Indonesian audience's non-acceptance of non-conventional gender expressions in Wind Breaker indicates resistance to content perceived as deviating from local values. This research not only underscores anime's potential as a medium for social critique but also promotes discussion on the crucial need for more diverse and humane gender representation in the global media landscape.

Abstract

The Link Women Indonesia initiative represents UN Women's pioneering artificial intelligence and digital technology training program designed to address gender disparities in Indonesia's technological workforce. Collaborating with LinkedIn and Markoding, this educational intervention provides comprehensive literacy in artificial intelligence and digital competencies while integrating workplace gender equality principles and professional development modules specifically tailored for women experiencing career interruptions and career starters. This investigation systematically analyzes the curriculum's effectiveness in delivering gender-aware content and highquality technical instruction by examining syllabi, training modules, presentations, audiovisual materials, and supplementary documentation. The analytical framework evaluates curriculum alignment with program objectives, content comprehensibility across diverse participant backgrounds, and potential enhancement opportunities to ensure program sustainability. Findings reveal that the curriculum successfully integrates gender awareness across all training components while maintaining accessible technical content with inclusive pedagogical approaches. However, limitations emerge in advanced skill coverage, opportunities for participant-instructor interaction, and professional networking infrastructure. The research demonstrates that while foundational competencies are effectively established, sustained career competitiveness requires supplementary advanced modules and enhanced networking mechanisms. This evaluation contributes to understanding how gender-responsive technology education can facilitate women's economic empowerment and professional reintegration in digital economy contexts.
