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

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%).

Abstract

Japan is one of the countries that has adopted the 2030 sustainable development agenda or SDG's (Sustainability Development Goals) by building an SDG’s Promotion Headquarters to achieve balance in the country's development while protecting earth and eliminating poverty. Gender equality is a development target in the SDGs contained in point five. The increase in the elderly and the decline in the birth rate prompted the Japanese Government to take the initiative to increase the role of women in the public. However, the ranking of gender equality in Japan is ranked low globally. Therefore, to achieve the SDGs, the urgent goal that must be done is to address gender equality in Japan by integrating the concept of gender in policy and decision making. In this study, the authors will describe the policies issued by the government in integrating gender and collect data on the gender gap that exists in Japan. By using the concept of gender mainstreaming in liberal feminism perspective, the author takes the initiative to find the causes of the factors that cause gender equality in Japan to be unsuccessful. Therefore, this study will explain some of the obstacles to gender equality by looking at what terms have not been implemented by Japan. The author has succeeded in finding that there are two factors that cause gender equality in Japan to be unsuccessful, there are the lack of commitment and understanding of gender by the government and regulatory agencies and the Gender Responsive Budget (ARG) which has no legal provisions.

Abstract

Chhattisgarh is a state in India which separated from the state of Madhya Pradesh in 2000. One part of Chhattisgarh is Koriya District which is located in the northwest corner. The district is one of the most densely forested areas in Chhattisgarh. The prevalence of deforestation and forest conversion is a fundamental problem in India which has caused resistance from various groups in society, especially the Koriya community, who live based on the forest. One of the organizations against illegal logging is Adivasi Adhikar Samiti (AAS), an Indigenous Peoples Rights Organization that focuses on health. Using the concept of eco-feminism, this study will analyze the reasons why AAS plays a role in dealing with the problems of forest conversion and illegal logging in Chhattisgarh.
