Abstract

This research examines the themes of women's digital literacy within the evolving digital economy. Digital literacy includes the ability to operate technological devices, critical understanding on information, and the use digital media safely and effectively. The literacy is one of the crucial keys to succeed in the competitive market, particularly for online women workers. This literature study employs descriptive analysis from a feminist political economy perspective that analyzes how power relations, social structures, and the economy shape gender inequality in the context of work and technology. This analysis explores the technology gap among women online workers, focusing on challenges, opportunities, and skills gaps. The findings indicate that in the era of the digital economy, technological proficiency is one of the keys to enhance women's livelihood. Nevertheless, women tend to possess lower technological skills than men. Several factors contribute to this gap, including socio-cultural structures, gender-biased technology, and limited access to education. It is essential to implement appropriate policies and initiatives to improve women's digital literacy, so, we can empower women to compete in the digital economy.

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 article analyzes the myth of beauty within the “UNEJ Cantik” community, focusing on its members' efforts to achieve the ideal concept of beauty. The research highlights the collective and horizontal interactions among community members in shaping beauty standards, a perspective that is less commonly discussed compared to studies emphasizing the role of individuals or influencers in establishing beauty norms. Using the netnography method, data were collected through observations and in-depth interviews with community members, comprising 10 core informants, 5 additional informants, and 2 account administrators. The findings reveal that the community's ideal beauty standards include glowing skin, a slim body, straight hair, and natural makeup. These standards are influenced by three main contexts: mass media (including social media), Dutch colonial heritage, and the local Pandhalungan culture. To achieve these standards, community members engage in various practices such as using skincare products, undergoing whitening injections, getting hair treatments, and getting eyelash extensions. This phenomenon reflects the tension between students' rational aspirations and the exploitation by the beauty market, as well as the clash between local values and global aesthetics. Thus, this study aims to foster critical awareness of the social pressures arising from the homogenization of modern beauty standards.

Abstract

The concept of gender equality and disability long been advocated, emphasizing equal rights and equality between human beings. However, in reality, gender, disability and poverty persists as intersecting factors that contribute to discrimination against the deaf. There are stigmatising assumptions that encourage unequal treatment of the deaf. This study aims to analyse the interrelated experiences of the deaf based on gender, poverty and employment opportunities in East Java. The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews with 29 informants, documentation and focus group discussions (FGDs). The data were analysed using the NVivo 12 software, following a series of steps: data input, coding, exploration, visualization, and presentation. The results of the study challenge the gender disability theory which suggests that women with disabilities tend to be poorer than men with disabilities. Instead, this study found that both men and women with disabilities face similar levels of poverty and encounter difficulties in accessing labour market. Some of them are poor from birth, making it difficult to get education costs and making it difficult to find work. There are also those who have difficulty getting work because they are deaf, so they lack income to meet their needs. In addition, the result supports the existence of disability-poverty cycle among the deaf. Poverty for the deaf is exacerbated by their disability, lack of health insurance, limited access to education and skills training, and difficulties in penetrating the labour market.

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 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 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

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

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.
