Abstract

The development of rubber plantations in East Sumatra during the colonial period absorbed a lot of workers, including women. In an unequal work structure, women occupy the most vulnerable positions. This study aims to analyze the experience, gender inequality, and survival strategies of women workers in rubber plantations during the colonial period. The methods used are historical methods, including heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Data sources come from colonial archives such as Memorie van Overgave, Staatsblad van Nederlandsch-Indie, Algeemene Secretarie, Koloniale Verslag, and newspapers. The study highlights the injustices experienced by women workers, such as low wages, long working hours, separation from family, sexual exploitation, and harsh punishment. Gender inequality is not only evident in the division of labor, but also from the systemic exploitative practices hidden behind the productivity narrative. These findings show that gender-based power relations formed the face of injustice in East Sumatra rubber plantations during the colonial period. Through the Women Behind Rubber case study, this research offers a new perpective on gender dynamics in an exploiative economic and political context.The main contribution of this research is its ability to connect past hstory with contempory issues related to gender equality and workers rights.Its implications are highly relevant to our current efforts in addressing gender inequality in modern industrial sector, as well as promoting more inclusive and pro-women policies.

Abstract

The persistent patriarchal culture in Indonesian society does not allow all women to get a safe space, especially women survivors. The purpose of this study is to explain the patriarchal culture in Banyuwangi Regency and the history of the Kawan Puan Banyuwangi Community, as well as analyze their activities in building mental health, so that women survivors can have safe spaces. This research’s novelty lies in examining the activities of the Kawan Puan Banyuwangi Community in creating safe spaces through the mental development of women survivors. So the questions of this research include what the patriarchal culture is in Banyuwangi Regency, what is the history of the birth of the Kawan Puan Banyuwangi Community, and how are the activities of the Kawan Puan Banyuwangi Community in building mental health, so that women survivors get a safe space? This research method used a case study with a historical approach in the Kawan Puan Banyuwangi Community. The analysis used Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Theory. The results of the study indicate the existence of a patriarchal culture in Banyuwangi Regency in 2021, including 38% of cases of sexual intercourse, 12 % of obscenity, 23% of psychological violence, 19% of sexual violence, 4% of physical violence, and 4% of neglect, resulting in women lacking access to safe spaces. The Kawan Puan Banyuwangi Community builds the mental health of women survivors through sharing activities without judgment, providing psychological assistance for survivors to map their problems appropriately, and creating a women-support-women habituation, which is key to safe spaces. Therefore, safe spaces need to be built collectively by various parties; all parties must have knowledge of how to protect women.

Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of gender relations among contemporary Sundanese women amid the intersecting influences of patriarchy, religion, and cultural modernity. It is grounded in the historical shift from egalitarian Sundanese values to a patriarchal system legitimized through religious interpretations. The study aims to identify women’s negotiation strategies and forms of agency in reinterpreting gendered power relations. Using a feminist qualitative approach informed by feminist epistemology, data were gathered through in-depth interviews with eleven Sundanese women aged 40–55 from diverse educational and professional backgrounds. The findings show that patriarchal ideology remains deeply rooted, particularly through norms such as ngawulaan salaki. Yet, women exercise subversive agency by negotiating equality in education, marriage, and domestic leadership. Education and reflective religiosity serve as key drivers of epistemological transformation, shifting their consciousness from obedience toward gender equality. Thus, gender transformation among Sundanese women emerges through an internal reinterpretation of religion and tradition rather than their rejection.

Abstract

Islamic boarding schools are Islamic educational institutions in the form of dormitories where students' activities are carried out under the guidance and supervision of mentors who are supposed to play an important role in instilling religious values so that students can comply with the legal norms that apply to them. However, behind the image of Islamic boarding schools as places of spiritual development, reports of sexual violence have raised public concern because they are committed by people who have the authority to educate and protect students. This occurs because the perpetrators wield power, making it easy for them to intimidate their victims. Sexual violence in religious educational environments is often hidden and goes unreported because it is committed by people with strong power structures. This issue is important and very complex because it can lead to violations of Islamic legal norms. Using a qualitative approach, this study analyzes the experiences of victims and the response of institutions to violations that have occurred. The results of the study show that unchecked power can create an environment that encourages sexual violence. This is evidenced by the fact that the perpetrators were immoral teachers and dormitory supervisors who held positions of power at the Islamic boarding school, making it impossible for the victims to avoid or even reject them. This study is expected to provide insights into the need for policy reform and increased awareness to protect victims, as well as the enforcement of existing legal norms

Abstract

This paper addresses the persistent issue of the gender pay gap among precarious workers in Indonesia, where women still receive significantly less than their male counterparts. The lack of empirical focus on this problem drives the research. Filling this void, the paper analyses how structures and institutions affect uneven wage formation and gendered labor insecurity. Adopting a quantitative approach, the paper employs the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition and quantile regressions (using the 2023 SAKERNAS dataset) to decompose wage differentials across the income distribution. The results show that women earn 35.6 percent less than men on average, and that over 70 percent of this gap is not accounted for by observable characteristics, demonstrating the existence of enduring structural discrimination. The disparity is highest at the lower tail of the wage distribution, suggesting a sticky floor effect. These results highlight the need for policy interventions that enhance care protection, implement pay parity, regularize informal work, and promote gender-responsive digital inclusion.

Abstract

Transactional sex between men carries a high risk of transmitting sexually transmitted infections. This study employed a qualitative phenomenological approach through in-depth interviews with homosexual men engaged in transactional sex. Inclusion criteria included men aged 19–40 who were sexually active with heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual partners. Participants were adults at the time of recruitment but some reported having hinitiated sexual intercourse during adolescence (as early as age 13), reflecting on their earlier experiences. Data were obtained through observation and semi-structured interviews lasting 60–100 minutes per session. Data analysis was conducted in three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and verification. The results showed that multiple partners, a large number of partners, and the lack of personal protective measures, particularly condom use, were dominant factors that increased the risk of transmission and spread of sexually transmitted infections. Furthermore, transactional sex tended to occur without long-term commitment, thus reinforcing risky behavior patterns. These findings emphasize the importance of condom availability and use as primary prevention measures to reduce the risk of infection. This study highlights the urgency of education-based prevention strategies and health promotion for men who engage in same-sex sex. Therefore, increasing awareness about safe sex behavior is a crucial step in reducing vulnerability to sexually transmitted infections among this high-risk group.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the increasing prevalence of stress in women influenced by domestic, social, and professional pressures. At the same time, psychoreligious approaches based on hadith-derived worship practices remain underexplored in scientific research. This study aims to analyze the effect of istighfar and dhikr on stress reduction in women through a psychoreligious approach, integrating the study of the Prophet’s hadith. The research method employed is a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative analysis, involving 28 teachers, 56 students, 50 mothers, and 50 wives who participated in religious activities at the Fadhilah Quran Foundation. The results showed that the practice of istighfar and dhikr contributed significantly to stress reduction through mechanisms of releasing psychological burdens, improving emotional regulation, and strengthening spiritual awareness, thereby impacting affective stability. Quantitative analysis confirmed a decrease in mean stress before and after the practice with a strong level of significance. At the same time, qualitative data revealed the formation of consistent subjective experiences of calm, focus, and positive reinterpretation of life’s pressures. These findings confirm that integrating istighfar and dhikr can serve as an effective psychoreligious intervention model for women’s empowerment and provide theoretical contributions to the development of Islamic psychology and hadith studies.

Abstract

This phenomenological study provides an in-depth examination of fathers' lived experiences in relation to early childhood behavioral development (ages 3–4) in Indonesia and Malaysia. The urgency of this research stems from the gap between the demands of contemporary parenting including digital literacy and the persistence of traditional masculinity constructs that often impede fathers' emotional involvement. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach through in-depth interviews with four fathers of children aged 3–4 years, the core findings reveal that modern fathers have transitioned into vital agents of the Complementary Parenting Model. They specifically foster children's independence, resilience, and exploratory courage while simultaneously acting as digital gatekeepers through restrictive mediation practices. Theoretically, these results contribute to strengthening the Complementary Parenting Model. However, the study also highlights a significant challenge: the masculinity dilemma, which leads to difficulties in emotional regulation and affective communication (emotional literacy), often managed through rigid expressions of assertiveness. The study underscores the critical need to transform fathering education programs from mere awareness campaigns into comprehensive training initiatives that emphasize specific competencies, particularly consistent positive discipline and emotional literacy, to enhance the quality and effectiveness of paternal involvement in early childhood development.
