Abstract

Background: Indonesia has built a strong legal foundation for child protection, including Law No. 35 of 2014 and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which comprehensively regulates child protection. On the other hand, there is a significant gap between legal recognition and practical concretization, which the government actualizes through the Indonesian Child Protection Commission. Methods: This study employed a descriptive qualitative method with content analysis, collecting secondary data from 2016–2024. Data were organized, analyzed, and triangulated to examine child protection cases in Indonesia, providing insights to guide policy recommendations and address structural and coordination challenges. Findings: The findings reveal institutional crumble, limited coordination between central and regional governments, a lack of trained personnel, and weak data systems as the main issues in child protection cases in Indonesia. Despite policy and budgetary interventions, legal gaps, fragmented monitoring, and cultural barriers persist, highlighting the need for harmonized regulations, capacity building, integrated data, and community engagement to strengthen child protection. Conclusion: The study concludes that legal frameworks alone are insufficient; effective child protection requires coordinated institutions, stronger local capacity, cultural transformation, and a community-based approach to ensure children’s rights are fulfilled, upholding commitments and safeguarding every child consistently. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this study highlights the scientific implications of child protection cases in Indonesia by evaluating the period from 2016 to 2024 as a reflection to protect children’s rights, providing new insights to overcome barriers, and offering policy recommendations to adequately address these issues.

Abstract

Background: People with disabilities represent one of the world's largest marginalized groups. In Indonesia, despite progressive legislation, significant implementation gaps persist in accessibility. Current technological solutions are often fragmented, failing to provide comprehensive support for diverse user needs. Methods: This research adopts a conceptual design-based approach, combining a systematic literature review, policy analysis, and system design thinking. The methodological framework integrates the Pentahelix multi-stakeholder collaboration model with Community-based development (CBD) principles. A SWOT analysis was conducted to evaluate the platform's strategic positioning and implementation feasibility. Findings: The conceptual framework for "SahabatInklusi" incorporates four synergistic features: real-time sign language translation using Computer Vision and deep learning, AI-powered navigation assistance with voice commands, interactive mapping of accessible public facilities, and an integrated emergency response system. The SWOT analysis reveals significant strengths in technological integration and a multi-disability approach, while identifying critical dependencies on digital infrastructure and data security. Conclusion: SahabatInklusi represents a paradigm shift in assistive technology design, positioning digital innovation as a catalyst for social inclusion rather than merely a technical solution. The platform demonstrates how integrated AI can transform accessibility into a central component of the digital ecosystem, thereby contributing to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) in Indonesia. Novelty/Originality of this article: The research introduces a novel integration of AI and Computer Vision within an inclusive design framework that incorporates multi- stakeholder collaboration models. This holistic approach addresses both the technological and social dimensions of accessibility, offering a replicable framework for developing comprehensive disability-inclusive solutions in emerging markets.

Abstract

Background: The phenomenon of online taaruf has emerged as an alternative method of finding a spouse in the digital age, widely used by Muslim youth. Its scope in the virtual world has brought this phenomenon into new dynamics in gender relations, differing from traditional taaruf. Methods: Through qualitative methods by interviewing 13 informants and using NVivo as a data analysis tool, as well as gender performativity theory, this study aims to explore the performance and expectations of gender roles during online taaruf, their changes after marriage, as well as participants' views on polygamy and how gender differences influence differing perspectives on such practices. Findings: The findings of this study indicate that women tend to present a feminine image, capable of performing domestic tasks, and patient. Meanwhile, men more often showcase leadership, responsibility, and authority. Conclusion: This study concludes that online taaruf reinforces traditional gender roles based on religious norms, where there is an imbalance of authority between men and women. These findings emphasize the urgency of gender-based digital literacy. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this study lies in applying gender performativity theory to understand how participants in digital taaruf perform and negotiate their gender roles, how these performances shift after marriage, and how gender differences shape perceptions of polygamy in the digital era.

Abstract

Background: The significant gap in labor force participation among Indonesia's 22.5 million persons with disabilities poses an urgent challenge to inclusive development, despite the existence of affirmative policy frameworks. This study aims to analyze the influence of human capital, measured by education level, training, and work experience, on the probability of employment among persons with disabilities. Methods: This study uses a mixed-methods approach, processing quantitative data from the February 2024 National Labor Force Survey (Sakernas) with a logistic regression (logit) model and reinforced with qualitative analysis through in-depth interviews. Findings: The results of the study show that higher education and participation in job training significantly increase the probability of employment for people with disabilities. However, this study reveals a crucial contrasting finding: secondary education has no significant effect, while work experience and residence on the island of Java are negatively correlated with employment opportunities. Qualitative interviews explain this paradox, in which systemic discrimination, stigma, and structural barriers in the workplace effectively negate the benefits of human capital. Conclusion: Investment in human capital (supply side) is important but insufficient if not balanced with intervention on the demand side. The main barriers to the inclusion of persons with disabilities in the workforce lie in discriminatory practices by employers and the lack of an accommodative work environment. Therefore, policy recommendations must shift from merely training individuals to strict law enforcement, incentives for proper accommodation, and changes in corporate culture to create a truly inclusive job market. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study uniquely combines recent Sakernas 2024 data and mixed methods to reveal how discrimination and structural barriers undermine human capital returns for persons with disabilities in Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Blue swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus) is one of Indonesia’s major fishery export commodities, with its processing—especially the crab picking work—being predominantly carried out by coastal women. This post-harvest activity plays a vital role in supporting both household and community-level economies, particularly in fishing villages. However, crab picking remains characterized by low wages, informal labor status, and limited access to social protection. Methods: This study analyzes the relationship between crab picking labor and the Human Development Index (HDI), focusing specifically on women’s contributions to education, health, and per capita household expenditure. Using a qualitative method with a descriptive approach through literature review, the research draws on secondary data related to the roles of women crab pickers in the Northern Coastal region of Java. The study also incorporates analysis of men’s roles in the broader crab supply chain, including fishers, traders, and miniplant owners. Findings: The results show that women occupy central roles in the post-harvest value chain—particularly in picking, trading (as bakul), and managing household income—yet their access to productive assets and control over economic decisions remains limited. Despite these structural inequalities, women’s financial contributions are consistently directed toward improving family welfare, especially in terms of children’s education and health, which are core indicators of HDI. The presence of gender-based access and control disparities across the crab supply chain affects not only economic equity but also the effectiveness of human development outcomes. Conclusion: In conclusion, this study demonstrates that while women’s informal labor in crab fisheries significantly supports HDI indicators at the community level, achieving more inclusive and sustainable coastal development will require policy interventions that formally recognize, support, and empower women’s economic roles within fisheries. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study provides a new perspective by linking women’s informal labor in blue swimming crab post-harvest activities to Human Development Index (HDI) indicators, emphasizing their overlooked contribution to community-level human development in coastal areas.

Abstract

Background: This study examines gendered social–ecological resilience by reinterpreting the role of Inong Balee in post-conflict Aceh. While the recovery of Aceh following the 2005 Helsinki Peace Agreement involved both political and socio-economic reconstruction, the gendered and ecological dimensions of post-conflict recovery have received comparatively limited scholarly attention. Methods: This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach based on literature analysis. Data were drawn from academic publications, institutional reports, policy documents, and reports from humanitarian and local organizations. The materials were analysed thematically using an integrated framework of social–ecological resilience, feminist political ecology, and the ethics of care. Findings: The findings indicate that Inong Balee have redefined their post-conflict roles through community-based initiatives centred on care, cooperation, and local resource management. Their collective practices strengthen social cohesion and ecological sustainability, demonstrating that resilience is a relational and gendered process rooted in everyday community life, with formal institutional arrangements serving only a complementary role. Conclusion: This study argues that post-conflict resilience in Aceh is sustained through women's everyday practices of care, solidarity, and environmental stewardship. By integrating social–ecological resilience, feminist political ecology, and the ethics of care, it offers an alternative perspective for understanding women's contributions to post-conflict recovery and sustainable peace. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study develops an integrated analytical framework that reinterprets Inong Balee's post-conflict roles through the intersection of social–ecological resilience, feminist political ecology, and the ethics of care, highlighting women's everyday practices as a foundation of sustainable peace.

Abstract

Background: PT. Pegadaian has established a vision to strengthen its role as a Financial Inclusion Accelerator for the community. This initiative presents significant opportunities to enhance financial inclusion for persons with mental disabilities, who often face systemic stigma and are deemed legally incompetent to contract. However, financial inclusion in the pawnbroking sector is still largely limited to physical accessibility measures, such as ramps and priority service queues, without addressing the substantial need for adaptive and inclusive contract arrangements. The contributions of development law could provide a perspective for fostering a climate of financial inclusion within the Pegadaian institution. Methods: This study examines the disparities in pawnbroking service utilization among disabled individuals and analyzes an affirmative action contract framework to support inclusive pawnbroking. Utilizing an interdisciplinary socio-legal approach, this research evaluates the harmonization of relevant legal norms, including the Disability Law, Financial Services Authority regulations (POJK) on Pawnbroking, and POJK on Financial Inclusion. Empirical insights were gathered through in-depth interviews with three respondents with psychosocial disabilities from Kedaibilitas Surabaya. Findings: Although respondents are generally familiar with pawnshop services, not all have ever accessed them. Basically, respondents were able to use the service, particularly with assistance from companions. Their experiences vary, ranging from positive interactions to unfavorable treatment. It should be noted that none of the respondents have ever received affirmative action in pawnbroking agreements. Conclusion: Affirmative action clauses in pawn contracts serve as a legal instrument to promote inclusive pawnbroking services. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this study highlights that including specific affirmative action clauses such as subsidized interest rates, waived administrative fees, reduced late penalties, reduced late payment penalties, and providing access to non-litigation dispute resolution through LAPS SJK, can serve as a specific legal instrument to promote inclusive pawbroking services.

Abstract

Background: Illegal Indonesian Migrant Workers (IMWs) continue to face persistent exploitation and violence despite their pursuit of better livelihoods abroad. This issue remains critically underexamined at the local village level, particularly in regions with high undocumented migration flows. Methods: This qualitative ethnographic study was conducted in Bujak Village, Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, through 50 days of fieldwork (24 June–13 August 2025). Data were collected using participant observation and in-depth interviews with three undocumented migrant workers selected via purposive sampling. The study employs a human security framework to analyze the structural and cultural drivers of irregular migration. Findings: The findings reveal that poverty, low educational attainment, and patriarchal cultural expectations collectively push residents toward undocumented migration facilitated by broker networks (Tekong). Once abroad, these migrants experience severe exploitation, including unpaid wages, physical violence, unsafe sea transport, and the complete absence of health or death insurance. Critically, the study finds that village-level government neither monitors nor intervenes in these departures, leaving migrants unprotected under Law No. 18 of 2017. Conclusion: The absence of state presence at the local level converts individual economic decisions into structural, systemic vulnerability. This study argues for stronger preventive and protective roles for both village and central governments to address the root causes and consequences of irregular migration. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research offers a novel contribution to the labor migration literature by shifting the analytical lens from national border control to the local village level, empirically demonstrating how state neglect at the grassroots perpetuates migrant vulnerability. It provides rare ethnographic insight into the lived experiences of undocumented migrants from a high-sending village, highlighting the critical yet overlooked role of village government in both facilitating and protecting irregular migration flows.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia institutionalizes children's participation through Children’s Forum as part of the Kabupaten/Kota Layak Anak (Child-Friendly Regency/City, KLA) policy, similar to how many cities around the world give children a formal voice in local governance. Prior Indonesian studies document Children’s Forum's formal existence and its dependence on local government partnership, but district-level studies outside major cities remain limited, particularly on how geography shapes equitable access to participation, an issue also highlighted in broader research on children's civic participation. Methods: This qualitative descriptive study draws on undergraduate thesis fieldwork conducted in Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi, in December 2020. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with six informants (a DP3A official and five Children’s Forum leaders/members), participatory observation, and documentation study, and analyzed following standard stages of qualitative data condensation, display, and conclusion drawing. Findings: Children’s Forum Gowa performs four roles: strengthening children's participation rights (chiefly via Musrenbang Anak, which Gowa pioneered in South Sulawesi in 2017), providing space for freedom of expression, supporting equitable access to education, and focusing advocacy on priority child issues (child marriage, bullying, and stunting). These roles are constrained by three recurring challenges: limited outreach to highland sub-districts, limited and inconsistent funding, and uneven cooperation from some local governments. Read through a social welfare perspective and a ladder-of-participation framework, the forum generates empowerment and social capital, but its benefits appear concentrated in lowland, more accessible sub-districts. Conclusion: Children’s Forum Gowa is a meaningful, government-recognized channel for child participation, but its equitable reach depends on resolving practical funding and geographic-access constraints. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study contributes a district-level account from South Sulawesi's highland–lowland terrain, showing how a regency-pioneered participation mechanism (Musrenbang Anak) can still reproduce geographic inequity even where the formal institutional design is comparatively advanced.

Abstract

Background: In Indonesian patriarchal culture, fathers are traditionally positioned as economic providers, while emotional caregiving is often associated with mothers. At the same time, public discussions of fatherlessness increasingly incorporate psychosocial themes related to emotional security, identity, and family relationships. Examining media representations of fatherhood is therefore important for understanding how paternal roles are socially constructed. Methods: This study employed a qualitative approach using 18 online news articles published by Indonesian media outlets and institutional platforms between 2024 and 2025. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis and subsequently interpreted using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) based on Wodak and Meyer’s framework. The analysis focused on how media discourse constructs meanings related to fatherhood, father absence, and their perceived psychosocial implications. Findings: The analysis reveals a discursive shift from provider-centered fatherhood toward representations emphasizing emotional engagement, relational involvement, and shared parenting responsibilities. Media narratives construct fatherlessness as a psychosocial and sociocultural issue shaped by emotional absence, structural constraints, changing family dynamics, and digital spaces that influence father–child relationships. Conclusion: Indonesian online media actively shape public understandings of fatherhood and fatherlessness through psychosocial, cultural, and structural narratives. These representations reflect ongoing negotiations between patriarchal expectations and emerging relational models of fatherhood. This study focuses on media representations and does not directly examine family experiences or children’s psychosocial outcomes. Future studies may integrate media analysis with empirical family-based research. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study provides a novel understanding of how Indonesian online media construct psychosocial meanings of fatherhood and fatherlessness within a patriarchal cultural context.
