Abstract

This study analyzed the impact of pronatalist policies on fertility rates in four Asian countries, consist of Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan during the period 2015-2023. Following a trend previously observed in Europe, these countries experienced a significant decline in fertility along with increasing economic activity in recent years. The selected timeframe reflects a period of active implementation of pronatalist policies since 2015. This research employs a comparative quantitative approach using multiple linear regression analysis to assess the relationship between policy variables and fertility rates. Secondary data are used, based on indicators derived from Sleebos’ (2003) framework, which includes financial incentives, child care, parental leave, family-friendly workplaces, welfare state, and tax systems. The findings, linear with previous study, indicate a positive and significant relationship between several pronatalist policies and fertility rates. This study focuses on mapping the current effectiveness of these policies in countries with similiar socio-economic contexts and highlights the complex interplay between policy design and each country’s unique social, cultural, and economic conditions.

Abstract

The seriousness of the Government in preventing sexual violence against children can be seen from the formation of Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 35 of 2014 concerning child protection. Prevention of sexual violence against children needs to get more attention through collaboration carried out by stakeholders. Many cases are not reported because the victims are helpless and ashamed. Currently, prevention of sexual violence is only focused on rehabilitation, and not focused on the initial stages of prevention. This requires collaboration between actors to be able to build commitment and trust in carrying out prevention. The purpose of this study is to describe collaborative governance in preventing sexual violence against children in Islamic boarding schools in Rian Province. This study uses a descriptive qualitative research method with data collection methods through stages of observation, interviews, and documentation. The research sample consisted of 30 people. The existing data is grouped, analyzed and summarized the findings. The results of this study are that collaboration between stakeholders is quite good, this can be seen from the full awareness of stakeholders to be able to synergize in preventing sexual violence in Islamic boarding schools. The Pekanbaru City Women's Empowerment, Child Protection and Community Empowerment Service provides educational information and socialization to the community so that children do not become perpetrators and victims of sexual violence. The formation of the PPKS task force is the beginning of the process of preventing sexual violence in Islamic boarding schools.

Abstract

This study explores the role of Wanita Syarikat Islam, known during the period as Gerwapsi (Gerakan Wanita Syarikat Islam), in Indonesia’s political landscape between 1966 and 1975. Despite the extensive attention given to Syarikat Islam as a broader movement, the specific contributions of Gerwapsi have been largely neglected in academic historiography. This research aims to address that gap by highlighting the organization’s political activism during the crucial transition from the Sukarno to the Suharto regime. Employing a qualitative-descriptive method within a historical framework, the study utilizes primary sources including archival records, photographs, period newspapers, interviews with historical actors, and autobiographies. Data validity is reinforced through triangulation and cross-referencing of multiple source types. Findings indicate that Gerwapsi significantly influenced political discourse and decision-making during the New Order’s early years. The organization participated in efforts to attribute responsibility for the G30S/PKI incident to Sukarno, contributed to the formulation of the Islamic Marriage Law, and advocated for the repeal of Presidential Regulation No. 2 of 1959. Gerwapsi also led initiatives against gambling, prostitution, and human trafficking. These roles demonstrate that Gerwapsi was more than an auxiliary women's group; it was a central political actor. This study offers a vital addition to research on women’s political movements in modern Indonesian history.

Abstract

The Sing Beling Sing Nganten tradition in Bali is a cultural practice requiring women to prove their fertility before marriage. This tradition reflects deeply ingrained social norms and contributes to gender inequality within Balinese society. This study analyzes the tradition through the theoretical lenses of Lev Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory, Claude Lévi-Strauss’s structuralism, Kate Millett’s structuralist feminism, and Kimberlé Crenshaw’s intersectionality. Findings reveal that these cultural norms are passed down through social interactions and reinforced within traditional structures that prioritize male lineage continuity. Women are associated with nature and reproductive functions, while men serve as decision-makers within the social system. Moreover, women from lower socioeconomic backgrounds face greater pressure compared to those with access to education and economic resources. The social implications of this practice include stigma against women who fail to prove their fertility before marriage, significantly affecting their psychological well-being. Legally, there are no specific regulations protecting women from social pressure imposed by such cultural norms. Therefore, systemic changes are required, including legal reforms, women's economic empowerment, and public education to raise awareness of women's rights.

Abstract

This study explores the relationship between women's autonomy and fertility intentions in Indonesia, considering the socio-cultural and economic dynamics that shape reproductive decision-making. Utilizing couples’s data from the 2017 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS), the study employs an instrumental variable (IV) approach to address potential endogeneity in measuring women's autonomy. The findings reveal that higher levels of women's autonomy, defined through participation in household decision-making, significantly reduce women's fertility intentions. Women with autonomy have a stronger ability to negotiate reproductive decisions with their husbands, enabling them to align their reproductive choices with their personal aspirations. Having autonomy enables women to exercise their reproductive rights and make well-informed decisions about family planning. In contrast, limited autonomy restricts women’s participation in decision-making, reinforcing social norms that prioritize male authority in fertility-related matters. Closing this gap requires targeted interventions to enhance women’s role in reproductive health, ensuring they have an equal say in fertility-related decisions.

Abstract

A child's development, particularly in terms of motoric skills, is most formative during the first few years of life. One approach that is considered effective in optimizing children's motoric development is nature-based learning, which utilizes the natural environment as the main learning medium. This study aims to explore the dynamics of nature-based learning in developing early childhood motoric skills through literature studies. Articles, books, and scientific documents produced between 2015 and 2024 are reviewed in a literature review using a qualitative descriptive methodology.This study found that children's fine and gross motoric skills, as well as their social and emotional development, can benefit from learning in natural settings. However, its implementation in Indonesia still faces challenges, especially related to parents' perceptions of child safety and the limitations of teachers' creativity in designing outdoor activities. This study provides active support from parents and increasing teacher capacity as an effort to optimize nature-based learning in early childhood education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze in depth how the practice of polygamy in Majene Regency affects the fulfillment and protection of women's rights in the context of family law. This research is a descriptive qualitative research in understanding the practice of polygamy in Majene Regency and its impact on the fulfillment and protection of women's rights. Primary data, namely data obtained directly from four informants, namely (a) Wife in polygamous marriage, (b) Daughter from polygamous marriage, (c) One of the Women's Institutions in Majene Regency, (d) Religious Leaders in Majene Regency. Meanwhile, secondary data comes from documents or literature related to the object of research. Data collection techniques include interviews, observations and documentation studies. Data analysis was carried out thematically through the stages of reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that the practice of polygamy in Majene Regency has a significant impact on the fulfillment and protection of women's rights, especially first wives, in the context of family law. Although there are clear legal rules, their implementation is still constrained by low legal awareness, weak supervision, and a strong patriarchal culture that places women in subordinate positions. In addition, children from polygamous families also experience emotional impacts due to the inequality of parental attention, which has so far received less attention in legal policies. Therefore, a more holistic and gender-perspective legal approach is needed that not only focuses on formal aspects, but also considers social, cultural, and psychological factors to realize fair and comprehensive legal protection for all family members.

Abstract

This study examines the actions taken by female religious leaders in Madura as a manifestation of gender equality. The implementation of gender equality actions is accumulated from activities, roles, efforts, positions, power, representation, contributions, and even in gender relation bargaining to advocate for gender equality. The research employs a phenomenological approach, aiming to understand the experiences of female religious leaders in Madura as an embodiment of gender equality in their daily lives as the central issue within the primary structure of this study. The main subjects of this research are two female religious leaders. Data collection, processing, and analysis are conducted in an integrated manner through phenomenological steps. The findings of this study indicate that Nyai, as a representation of female religious figures in Madura, enacts gender equality by serving as religious leaders and worship guides, leaders and caretakers of Islamic boarding schools, controllers of the tengka tradition, motivators and counselors, domestic affairs managers, and facilitators of public space access.
