Abstract

The development of technology and social media has brought significant changes in the dynamics of communication in the workplace. This study aims to answer two main questions: How do technology and social media affect discrimination and harassment in the workplace? and What is the impact of these practices on women? Using a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach, this study focuses on the experiences of three female informants in the retail, digital services, and administration sectors in Lampung Province. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, limited observations, and digital document analysis, which were analyzed using thematic techniques and a normative approach based on Mubādalah, a progressive Islamic perspective that emphasizes gender equality and justice. The results of the study show that technology and social media have become new channels for gender-based harassment and discrimination in the workplace. The forms include suggestive messages from superiors, sexist comments in work groups, and uploading photos without permission. The institutional response is generally passive and tends to blame the victim. The Mubādalah approach provides a normative alternative that emphasizes the need for corporate digital ethics reform with the principles of equality and collective protection. This study recommends the integration of Mubādalah values ​​in digital work policies to create a fair, safe, and inclusive work environment, especially for women

Abstract

The Family Hope Program (PKH) is a conditional social assistance program from the Indonesian government aimed at poor families to break the chain of intergenerational poverty. In practice, women are the main actors who receive and manage assistance because of their strategic position in childcare and household management. However, women who receive PKH often face social stigma that creates psychological pressure and social discrimination. This stigma is rooted in societal stereotypes that equate recipients of assistance with laziness, dependency, and failure in carrying out domestic roles. This study aims to analyze the social stigma against women who receive PKH, and to examine the extent to which the Mubadalah theory is a strategy to overcome this stigma. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study type and primary data sources in the form of in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation of PKH recipients and program supporting actors in Bandar Surabaya District, Central Lampung Regency. The data were analyzed using a thematic approach and using the Mubadalah theory as the main conceptual framework that emphasizes mutuality and justice in gender relations. The results showed that most women who receive PKH experience social stigma in the form of ridicule, exclusion, and moral judgment by the surrounding community, which strengthens social and psychological marginalization. Through the application of the Mubadalah principle, this study shows that transforming mindsets and gender relations structures to be more equal can be a solution-based approach to reducing social stigma and increasing women's empowerment in managing social assistance programs more fairly and effectively

Abstract

This study examines the influence of mass media and digital media on women's beauty, psychological, and social perceptions in the context of local communities in Mesuji Regency, Lampung Province. Through a three-year longitudinal study, this study aims to understand the dynamics of changes in women's beauty perceptions along with media exposure and how these narratives influence women's self-image construction, social interactions, and psychological well-being. A longitudinal study was chosen to capture the shift in personal values ​​and experiences in depth and continuously. This study uses a qualitative method with a social construction theory and media representation approach, and is analyzed through a mubadalah perspective that emphasizes the principles of gender reciprocity and justice. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, observations of social media activities, and documentation of local media content. The results show that mass media still dominates homogeneous beauty narratives, while digital media provides space for more diverse representations but still creates social pressure on appearance. These findings emphasize the importance of media literacy and women's active involvement in content production to build inclusive, fair, and liberating beauty standards from the dominance of hegemonic body images

Abstract

Gender inequality is the structural root of domestic violence (DV) which is still rampant in various regions, including Lampung Province. This article aims to reveal the relationship between gender inequality and the high rate of violence against wives, and to analyze how the Mubadalah approach can be an alternative solution in preventing domestic violence. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study in Mesuji Regency, Lampung, which has a high prevalence of domestic violence cases. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies. The Mubadalah theory developed by Faqihuddin Abdul Kodir was used as an analytical tool, with an emphasis on the principle of mutuality and justice in husband-wife relations. The results of the study show that violence against wives does not only stem from economic imbalance and social pressure, but is also influenced by religious interpretations that are patriarchal in nature. The Mubadalah approach offers a reinterpretation of Islamic values ​​that are more gender-just, so that it can be a transformative strategy in building equal and violence-free household relations. This article recommends mainstreaming Mubadalah values ​​in religious education, family policies, and domestic violence victim assistance programs at the local level

Abstract

 This article discusses the Contribution of Women to the Local Economy of Metro City. Economic development is the main foundation for creating overall community welfare. Women play a crucial role in the economic sector, particularly through their contributions to Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises, which are the backbone of the local economy. However, women still face various challenges, including limited access to capital, minimal entrepreneurship training, low financial literacy, and the burden of household responsibilities. The research method used is qualitative with documentation techniques, collecting data from various written sources such as books, journals, reports, and other relevant documents. Content analysis techniques were applied to understand the challenges and contributions of women to the local economy of Metro City. The results show that women contribute to the MSME sector, particularly in the culinary sector, which supports job creation and economic growth. However, they still face structural and cultural barriers that affect business sustainability. Therefore, sustainable entrepreneurship and financial literacy training programs are needed to support women's empowerment. Recommendations for inclusive government policy support and strengthening the MSME ecosystem can help increase women's contribution to local economic development.

Abstract

This research is a literature study with a descriptive qualitative approach that aims to answer three main questions: What is the role of women in higher education in the digital era? What are the challenges faced by women in this context? And what strategies can be applied to realize gender equality in higher education environments? Data were obtained from various scientific publications, policy reports, and relevant journal articles. The findings show that women face challenges in the form of gender stereotypes, limited access to technology, and double domestic burdens. On the other hand, the digital era also opens up opportunities through online learning, digital literacy training, and strengthening  moreover  inclusive academic leadership. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of equality strategies based on values ​​of justice, as well as the application of the concept of Mubādalah as a relational approach that can form a fair and gender-responsive higher education system.

Abstract

This study aims to measure women's contribution in preventing adolescent reproductive health risks through family and community education in Lampung Province. Housewives and adolescent girls (aged 15 to 19 years) were 120 respondents in this quantitative study using a correlational survey strategy. A closed-ended Likert scale survey was used to collect data, which were then analyzed using simple linear regression and Pearson correlation. The findings indicate that there is a strong correlation between the amount of women's involvement in family education and the level of reproductive health knowledge among adolescents. This study adopts the mubadalah perspective as a conceptual framework, to review the structure of gender relations in mutual value-based education, which has not been the main focus in conventional reproductive health education approaches. Thus, the results of this study are expected to be the basis for developing a more contextual and inclusive educational intervention model for local and religious values ​​in adolescent reproductive health issues

Abstract

The humanitarian crisis experienced by the Rohingya in Myanmar represents one of the gravest human rights violations of the twenty-first century. This study aims to identify the forms of crimes against humanity committed against the Rohingya, analyze the Myanmar government’s actions through the lens of international law, and assess the role of international judicial bodies in enforcing accountability. Employing a normative juridical method with a literature-based approach, this research draws on international legal instruments including the Rome Statute, UN Fact-Finding Mission reports, and global human rights documents supported by relevant theoretical frameworks in international criminal law. The findings reveal that mass killings, rape, forced deportation, and the systematic burning of villages constitute crimes against humanity under Article 7 of the Rome Statute and are reinforced by discriminatory state policies such as the 1982 Citizenship Law. Furthermore, the study highlights the critical roles of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in adjudicating genocide allegations and the International Criminal Court (ICC) in pursuing preliminary investigations. This research concludes that the Rohingya crisis constitutes an international crime requiring collective intervention and legal enforcement. It recommends strengthening global judicial cooperation, enhancing accountability mechanisms, and ensuring sustained international oversight to protect victims and prevent recurrence.

Abstract

This study is significant for understanding Ki Hadjar Dewantara's (KHD) contribution to the fight for women's rights, particularly through his writings in Wasita magazines (1928-1935). During this period, public awareness of women's rights was limited, and patriarchal traditions were deeply rooted in Indonesian society. The focus of this study is to analyze KHD's thoughts on women, as reflected in Wasita, and their impact on the development of women's thought in Indonesia. The research method employed a qualitative approach, analyzing texts published in Wasita magazines. The results show that KHD emphasized three main points: first, the importance of returning women to their natural role as mothers, which is considered as the foundation for maintaining moral values ​​and customs. Second, higher education for women is the key to national progress. Third, women's right to participate in the public domains, including obtaining decent work, while still observing norms of decency and security. KHD's thoughts in Wasita demonstrate an understanding far ahead of his time and are a valuable contribution to the fight for equal rights between women and men in Indonesia

Abstract

Online defamation in Malaysia reveals not only legal and technological challenges but also entrenched structural inequalities embedded within Criminal Law enforcement. Marginalized groups particularly individuals with low socio-economic status, minority identities, and limited digital or legal literacy face substantial obstacles in pursuing justice, while those with political or social influence tend to receive disproportionately rapid institutional responses. This study examines how discriminatory patterns emerge within Malaysia’s online defamation framework and evaluates Islamic jurisprudence as a normative alternative capable of shaping a more equitable liability structure. Employing a qualitative doctrinal and socio-legal methodology, the article analyzes statutory provisions, judicial decisions, regulatory instruments governing digital communication, and classical Islamic legal sources, complemented by thematic content analysis. The findings indicate that current liability arrangements, including broad immunities for digital intermediaries, reinforce systemic disadvantages by shifting the burden of proof and pursuit entirely onto victims, thereby privileging corporate actors and technologically empowered offenders. In contrast, Islamic legal principles such as hifz al-‘ird (protection of dignity) and tabayyun (verification) offer a proportional, intent-based, and dignity-centered framework for assigning responsibility. The study ultimately proposes a hybrid reform model integrating contemporary Criminal Law with Islamic jurisprudence to reduce structural discrimination, strengthen victim-centered protections, and enhance substantive justice in the digital environment.
