The Journal of Feminism and Gender Studies (JFGS) main objectives are to develop scientific discourse and analysis on issues of gender and feminism. JFGF accommodates articles with both empirical and discursive approaches by providing freedom of scientific development within the framework of feminism and gender perspectives. Articles with empirical and interdisciplinary approaches to the study of feminism and gender are preferable. In keeping with its commitment to distribute and disseminate information on issues of feminism and gender worldwide, as part of the advocacy efforts undertaken by the University of Jember, JFGS provides free and open access to all of his published works. This journal aims to become a forum for dialogue between academics, experts, practitioners, and feminist activists around the world. It also builds and creates new knowledge in favor of justice and equality in a humanitarian framework so that JFGS will later become a platform for discussion and debate as we also accept the plurality of thoughts.

Abstract

Domestic violence has become a significant social issue in Indonesia, and its representation in online media influences public perceptions of victims, perpetrators, and gender relations. This study aims to analyze the news coverage of Dilan’s domestic violence case published by Okezone.com by examining the representation of subject and object positions, as well as writer and reader positions, using Sara Mills’ Critical Discourse Analysis framework. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, with news texts published between 2024 and 2025 serving as the primary data. Data were collected through documentation and analyzed based on Sara Mills’ concepts of subject–object and writer–reader positions. The findings indicate that Dilan is predominantly positioned as the narrative subject because she is given extensive opportunities to express her experiences and emotions, while Safno is positioned as the object whose identity is constructed through the victim’s perspective. The writer reinforces the victim’s narrative through emotionally charged language, detailed descriptions, and visual evidence, thereby directing readers to sympathize with the victim and perceive the alleged perpetrator negatively. These findings demonstrate that Okezone’s news coverage is not neutral but constructs social reality by reproducing gendered representations and power relations through its discursive strategies.

Abstract

Conditions in Indonesia show that cases of violence, crime, and sexual harassment are increasing. Sexual violence not only occurs against adults but also against children. Children are vulnerable to becoming victims of sexual violence, this is because they are in a weaker position and cannot protect themselves. This study aims to determine the role and service mechanisms of the UPTD PPA Jember Regency in providing legal protection to child victims of sexual violence, and to determine the inhibiting and supporting factors of the UPTD PPA Jember Regency in implementing protection for child victims of sexual violence. The empirical legal research method uses two approaches, namely the Legal Approach and the Sociology of Law. The location of this research is the Regional Technical Implementation Unit for the Protection of Women and Children of Jember Regency, the research subjects are UPTD PPA companion officers, parents/guardians of victims, and child victims. Primary data sources were obtained through interviews, observation, and documentation, while secondary data are divided into two forms, namely primary legal materials and secondary legal materials. Data collection was carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing and verifying conclusions. The researcher used descriptive analytical techniques for primary and secondary data.

Abstract

Coastal communities in Indonesia, Vietnam, and Bangladesh are increasingly exposed to climate-related hazards that threaten livelihoods, ecosystems, and social well-being. Although previous studies have extensively documented women's vulnerability to climate change, comparatively little attention has been paid to the mechanisms through which gender equality strengthens coastal climate resilience across different governance contexts. This study examines the relationship between gender equality and coastal climate resilience through a qualitative comparative analysis of Indonesia, Vietnam, and Bangladesh. The analysis integrates primary evidence from Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) conducted in Indonesia with secondary evidence from Vietnam and Bangladesh, complemented by policy documents and scholarly literature. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. The findings demonstrate that women make substantial contributions to climate adaptation through livelihood diversification, local ecological knowledge, environmental stewardship, collective action, and disaster preparedness. However, these contributions remain constrained by unequal access to productive resources, limited participation in decision-making, and persistent socio-cultural and institutional barriers. The comparative analysis further demonstrates that gender equality strengthens adaptive capacity by enabling women's agency, while inclusive governance determines the extent to which this agency can be translated into long-term coastal climate resilience. The study advances an integrated conceptual framework positioning women's agency as the central mechanism linking gender equality, adaptive capacity, and coastal climate resilience across diverse institutional contexts. These findings contribute to Feminist Political Ecology by demonstrating that resilient coastal communities are shaped not only by technological adaptation but also by inclusive governance that recognises women's knowledge, participation, and leadership.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic, which has occurred, followed by a global crisis and the issue of recession in various parts of the world, including Indonesia, has had a vulnerable impact on family resilience. This can be seen from the phenomenon of a significant increase in the prevalence of divorce from 291,677 in 2020, which increased by 53% to 447,743 in 2021, which places Indonesia as the country with the highest prevalence of divorce in Asia-Africa. This is directly proportional to the high prevalence of single parents, which places Indonesia in the second-highest position in the world with fatherless countries and DI. Yogyakarta ranks third highest in Indonesia. According to the Indonesian Ministry of Religion, the phenomenon of divorce is dominated by contested divorce from wives, namely 73.7%, with the reason being ongoing disputes at 62.4%. Various factors, including gender inequality in the domestic sphere, cause the disputes. The research method used was qualitative, with an explanatory research approach to 34 informants who were prospective premarital couples in the KUA Depok Yogyakarta work area. Data was collected through FGDs and deep interviews to explore prospective partners' perceptions of gender partnership in the family—purposive sampling technique according to inclusion criteria. Data analysis uses phenomenological studies, including data familiarization through identifying thematic frameworks, data indexation, coding and charting, and data interpretation carried out independently by the researcher. The research results show that the lowest knowledge of respondents regarding family functions is the socio-cultural function, namely ten respondents (29.41%), followed by the coaching function, namely 14 respondents (41.17%), and the reproductive function, namely 16 respondents (47.06%).
