Abstract

The increasing presence of women in a manufacturing industry, highlights a significant shift in traditional gender roles while underscoring the challenges of balancing domestic responsibilities and professional obligations. This study investigates the dual-role conflicts experienced by female workers and explores the strategies they employ to achieve balance.  Using a qualitative approach with a case study methodology, the research delves deeply into the dual-role phenomenon. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation, utilizing purposive sampling for informant selection. Data validity was ensured through triangulation and analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model.  The study identifies two primary dimensions of conflict: time-based conflict and pressure-based conflict. Female workers implement five strategies to manage these conflicts: coping mechanisms for stress relief, leveraging social support from family and colleagues, effective time management through prioritization, ensuring meaningful quality time with family, and delegating domestic responsibilities to their children and spouses.  However, the effectiveness of these strategies is often hindered by inconsistent delegation and insufficient support from the company and colleagues. The study concludes that enhanced support from both family and the workplace is essential to help female workers achieve a sustainable balance between their personal and professional lives.

Abstract

This research aims to explore gender representation in Islamic Religious Education textbooks by examining the portrayal of gender through both content and illustrations. The study investigates how gender roles and values are reflected in the Qur'an, Hadith, descriptive narratives, and visuals in the textbooks. Additionally, it explores how Islamic Education promotes gender-related values through various elements, including text, narratives, and imagery. This study uses the library research method, this study analyses gender equality in Qur'anic verses, al-Hadits, descriptive narratives, and illustrations in these textbooks. Data were collected through a literature study, including identifying and reviewing verses, gender narratives, and illustrations. Content and visual analyses were conducted to find gender representation. Each element was analyzed in depth to understand its educational and social implications. The results showed that Qur'anic verses, Hadits of the Prophet Muhammad, descriptive narratives, and illustrative images provide a strong foundation for respecting, protecting, recognizing the contributions, and valuing women's rights in all aspects of life, including education, economy, marriage, inheritance, and family relationships. This demonstrates Islamic Religious Education's commitment to gender equality and justice in treating all individuals, regardless of gender. This research, however, is still limited to religious texts and does not consider the socio-cultural context. It is recommended that future textbooks strengthen the principles of gender justice by including socio-cultural contextualization, helping learners understand its practical application.

Abstract

Reproductive health implies that people are able to have a satisfying and safe sex life and that they have the capability to reproduce and the freedom to decide if, when and how often to do so. This study investigated gender power dynamics and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services among youth in Southwest Nigeria, using Connell's Theory of Gender and Power to explain the study. The study employed descriptive research design, in which multistage sampling techniques was adopted and questionnaire was used to gather information from 1200 respondents made up of youths aged 15 and 35 in Ekiti, Osun, and Ondo. Results: The findings from the study revealed a concerning lack of understanding of SRH services among youth, with knowledge often rooted in social myths and misconceptions. For example, 59% believed people with HIV always appear unhealthy. While most understood major SRH components like contraception and sexual violence, only 29% of males were familiar with periodic abstinence, preferring condoms. The study found low SRH service uptake among males, attributed to service-related barriers. Interestingly, while 78% agreed that either party can initiate condom use, 34% of males perceived a girl's suggestion as distrustful. Urgent policy reforms are recommended including establishing youth-friendly SRH centers, educational campaigns, and promoting equitable decision-making to empower youth and improve SRH service access. A gender disparity emerged, with females showing higher awareness of various contraceptive methods, potentially reinforcing traditional gender roles. This aligns with previous findings indicating greater HIV awareness compared to other SRH aspects. Societal norms dictate gender-specific risk-taking behaviors, particularly among males, impacting women's health. These behaviors include avoiding condoms, substance abuse, and reluctance to seek HIV testing and treatment. This can lead to issues like violence, STIs, and unintended pregnancies. Based on the findings, the study concluded that the gender disparity in the utilization of reproductive health services with females reporting higher usage compared to males. The study therefore recommends that there should be comprehensive and targeted educational programs that specifically address gaps in knowledge concerning sexual and reproductive health.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to identify the reasons male students use cosmetic products and to examine the perceptions of students in the Automotive Engineering Education program regarding the phenomenon of male grooming. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method. The study was conducted at the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Negeri Semarang. The informants were categorized into three groups: male students who engage in male grooming practices, male students who do not, and female students. The study utilizes the concept of gender stereotypes. The findings indicate that several factors motivate male students to engage in male grooming, including family and peer pressure, job requirements, skin problems, the desire to maintain appearance, and the influence of social media advertising. The phenomenon of male grooming generates varied perceptions among students. For male students who practice male grooming, such behavior is considered normal. However, some male students who do not engage in male grooming, as well as female students, perceive it as inappropriate behavior for students in the Faculty of Engineering. The study reveals that gender stereotypes in the Automotive Engineering Education program remain evident and strongly influence perceptions of male grooming.
