Abstract

This research explores the Implementation of Religious Moderation Values in Minangkabau Cultural Local Content. The local content focuses on character building based on the noble values of Minangkabau natural culture, namely PK-BAM. Using descriptive qualitative methods, data were collected through in-depth interviews with teachers and principals, direct observation of learning activities, and curriculum documentation studies. The collected data were analyzed using the Miles Huberman interactive model including data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. To ensure data validity, this study used triangulation. The results showed that the implementation of the PK-BAM curriculum has been running since 2022 in elementary schools in Bukittinggi City with learning once a week. The learning method combines face-to-face learning and direct practice of traditional values, involving traditional leaders such as ninik mama and bundo kanduang as guest teachers. Religious moderation means applying a balanced way of religion by prioritizing tolerance, respecting differences, upholding national values, and respecting local culture. Although the value of religious moderation is not explicitly listed in the textbooks, teachers creatively integrate it in learning. The PK-BAM curriculum influences students' understanding of cultural values and religious moderation. Students show appreciation of cultural values in daily life, respect religious and cultural differences and prioritize peace. The sustainability of the PK-BAM curriculum is ensured through the support of regional policies and the active involvement of community leaders, in line with the vision of “Bukittinggi Hebat” which is based on Adat Basandi Syarak and Syarak Basandi Kitabullah.

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the existence of gender inequality in the implementation of education in pesantren because there is a phenomenon in the form of pesantren regulations that limit the teaching role of female teachers, especially female teachers are prohibited from teaching in male student classes. This restriction of teaching roles creates the impression that pesantren have marginalised the role of female teachers. Considering the negative impression on pesantren institutions due to this phenomenon, this issue needs to be explored more deeply, especially from the perspective of the pesantren teachers themselves who are assumed to be marginalised in their roles. This study observed the above phenomenon by exploring the opinions of teachers in pesantrens using a qualitative approach through questionnaire instruments and in-depth interviews. The sample size for the questionnaire instrument in this study was 70 pesantren teachers consisting of 35 female teachers and 35 male teachers, while in-depth interviews were conducted with 3 teachers. The results revealed that these restrictions cannot be rashly claimed as a form of regulatory policy that is not gender fair. This is because the data obtained shows that the majority of pesantren teachers, both male and female, agree with the restrictions with various reasons and arguments.

Abstract

This study explores the gender dynamics within Minangkabau customs, focusing on the pivotal role of women in safeguarding and preserving high heirlooms (harta pusaka tinggi). As a matrilineal society, Minangkabau places women at the center of inheritance and cultural preservation, with high heirlooms serving as symbols of familial and communal identity. Using a qualitative approach, this research examines the responsibilities, challenges, and strategies employed by women in maintaining these assets. Data were collected through interviews with customary leaders, women inheritors, and community members, complemented by observations of traditional practices. The findings reveal that Minangkabau women hold a dual responsibility as custodians of both physical heirlooms, such as land and traditional objects, and intangible heritage, including customs and values. This role ensures the continuity of Minangkabau identity across generations. However, modernization, urbanization, and shifts in gender roles pose significant challenges to this tradition. Women often navigate complex negotiations between preserving traditional values and adapting to contemporary economic and social realities. The study highlights the adaptive strategies employed by women to balance these demands while safeguarding communal harmony. This research underscores the importance of empowering women in their roles as cultural custodians and the need for community-based initiatives to support the preservation of Minangkabau heritage. By illuminating the interplay between gender and cultural sustainability, this study contributes to broader discussions on matrilineal societies and the evolving role of women in cultural preservation.

Abstract

Group brawls between teenage students have become recurring problem. Violence has been regarded as a solution to any problem by the adolescents. This is clear evidence that adolescents are freely carrying out anarchic acts. Indeed, this poor behavior harms not only the people engaged in the fights or brawls, but also others who are not directly involved. This research aims to describe the pattern of handling teenage brawls using grounded theory approach. The data were collected through interviews obtained from 32 informants who were selected based on the criteria predetermined by the researcher. The analysis of themes was conducted through the N Vivo 12. The results of the study identified several models of prevention, diversion, and rehabilitation to deal with the behavior of teenage brawls.

Abstract

This study examines the hegemony of masculinity within the tradition of women proposing to men in Lembor Village, Lamongan. While this tradition seemingly grants women agency, it remains embedded within patriarchal structures that reinforce male dominance. The novelty of this research lies in its critical approach, employing Connell’s theory of hegemonic masculinity to analyze power dynamics in gender relations. Using qualitative methods, data were collected from 15 participants, including women who proposed marriage (6), male counterparts (4), family members (3), and community leaders (2). The study utilized semi-structured interviews to explore personal experiences and social perceptions, complemented by participant observations of marriage proposal rituals. Additionally, literature reviews encompassed previous ethnographic studies, gender theory, and local marriage customs to contextualize findings. Results indicate that, despite women initiating marriage proposals, major decisions including marriage approval, dowry negotiations, and wedding arrangements are still controlled by the male’s family, reinforcing gender hierarchies and positioning women in a subordinate role. Furthermore, societal perceptions stigmatize women who actively propose, as they are deemed to violate traditional femininity. While the tradition offers limited space for women’s initiative, it ultimately adapts patriarchal norms rather than dismantling them. These findings highlight how hegemonic masculinity remains deeply embedded within cultural traditions, shaping gender relations through structural dominance and symbolic power.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the gender dynamics in the implementation of basadosa sanctions for adultery cases in Sintang Regency, West Kalimantan. The study uses a qualitative research methodology. A descriptive-analytical approach will be applied to explore how these sanctions are implemented on male and female offenders, with a focus on gender differences and their impacts. This research will analyze the distinctions in the application of basadosa sanctions and the social, psychological, and economic consequences experienced by male and female offenders. The findings of this study regarding the application of basadosa sanctions in adultery cases in Sintang Regency, West Kalimantan, reveal significant gender inequality, with women often receiving harsher social sanctions compared to men. Social ostracism and humiliation are more frequently experienced by women, leading to more severe psychological and social impacts for them. This occurs due to social norms that view women as the guardians of family honor, while men are more often given leniency or forgiveness. The implications of this research provide critical insights into the influence of basadosa sanctions in reinforcing or challenging gender inequality, as well as providing policy recommendations to promote gender equality in the application of customary law.

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

The causative factors of the gender equality problem include misunderstanding social roles between men and women as a result of an incomplete understanding of Islamic law. This misunderstanding of gender equality results in unequal conceptions placing the positions of men and women in society.This article aims to the primary data sources in this article are the Qur'an text which outlines the gender equality issues in the Islamic law perspective. This article is a qualitative study with a normative juridical approach by describing and analyzing the concept of gender in the Qur'an and fiqh. The results of this study explain that Islam teaches equality between humans, both men and women. At least there are five principles of gender equality in Islam, men and women are both servants of Allah Swt, men and women are both caliphs of Allah, men and women both accept the primordial covenant, men (Adam) and women (Hawa) are both actively involved in the events of the cosmic creation, and men and women have the same potential for achievement. The Qur'an emphasizes the equal status of men and women in terms of fundamental rights as their existence as human and divine beings.
