Abstract

In the practice of reconciliation (rujuk), the wife’s consent is often overlooked and interpreted differently across various Islamic schools of thought, while gender justice emphasizes equal rights for wives within marriage. The husband’s right to reclaim his wife after a revocable divorce (talaq raj‘i) is often seen as a form of male dominance. This study aims to examine whether Islamic law, particularly regarding rujuk, supports the principle of gender justice or tends to be biased toward men. Using a normative approach, the research analyzes classical and contemporary literature in fiqh and Indonesian legislation, such as Law No. 1 of 1974 and the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI). The study employs a qualitative normative-juridical approach through literature research, analyzing primary Islamic texts and secondary Indonesian legal sources. Data were analyzed using content analysis to examine interpretations of the right of rujuk in divorce, assessing whether practices uphold gender justice, especially for marginalized wives. This research shows that the practice of reconciliation in Islamic law reflects a patriarchal structure, but contemporary interpretations based on the maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah and gender justice encourage mutual consent. Reforms such as the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) affirm the rights of wives, marking a shift towards equality, justice, and respect for human dignity in modern Islamic marriage. This research contributes to the development of gender justice discourse in Islamic law by offering a reinterpretation of the practice of reconciliation based on the principles of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. These findings enrich the study of Islamic family law and provide a basis for more just, inclusive, and gender-equality-based legal reform.

Abstract

The Qur’an has often been interpreted through patriarchal perspectives that limit women’s roles. This study highlights the challenge of reinterpreting gender in the Qur’an to develop understandings that are inclusive, just, and relevant to the context of modern Muslim societies. The research aims to analyze various forms of gender discrimination in Qur’anic interpretation and to explore opportunities and challenges in reconstructing more inclusive interpretations in the modern era. This study employs gender hermeneutics to uncover gender bias in traditional interpretations of the Qur’an through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. The research identifies patriarchal bias by selecting and analyzing relevant literature. The analytical process involves critically evaluating biased classical interpretations in comparison with more inclusive contemporary interpretations, using a thematic approach to understand gender discrimination within the texts. Findings indicate that inclusive Qur’anic interpretation requires critical analysis of patriarchal bias, women’s empowerment, and contextual hermeneutics. Social change, education, and digital technology create opportunities to reconstruct gender-just interpretations. Through women’s involvement, educational reform, digital advocacy, and international collaboration, progressive interpretations emerge that promote gender equality and social justice in contemporary contexts. This study contributes to the development of Qur’anic studies by offering a multidimensional approach to foster more inclusive and gender-just interpretations. By integrating critical analysis, women’s empowerment, digital technology, and international collaboration, this research broadens the religious discourse toward progressive interpretations relevant to modern social dynamics and supportive of gender equality.

Abstract

The patriarchal culture in Japanese society can be observed from its smallest and most basic unit, the family, where all decisions are made by men as heads of the household and must be obeyed, making women’s actions dependent on men. Although the trend of remaining unmarried has mainly highlighted women, many Japanese men also follow this pattern. This study aims to analyze the introduction of feminism, its influence, and the impact of the unmarried trend on Japanese society. The research employs a qualitative approach, collecting primary data from official Japanese government websites and secondary data from academic literature. Thematic analysis is applied to identify patterns and relationships, while triangulation and peer review ensure validity and reliability, providing a comprehensive understanding of feminism’s influence on social dynamics and marriage trends in Japan. The study shows that the second wave of feminism in Japan successfully challenged patriarchal norms and promoted gender equality. Women, particularly middle-class mothers, gained the freedom to choose their life paths and develop themselves beyond traditional roles (ryosai kenbo). This shift also influenced young people’s perceptions of marriage and transformed the Danjyo Kankei relationship into a more equal one, empowering women. The study contributes to understanding gender dynamics in Japan by demonstrating how the second wave of feminism changed the Danjyo Kankei relationship and traditional female roles. The findings expand academic insights into gender equality, women’s empowerment, and the impact of social movements on cultural norms and young people’s attitudes toward marriage.

Abstract

Global issues such as the exploitation of women and the environment are exacerbated by patriarchy and capitalism, resulting in gender inequality and environmental degradation. Women play a crucial role in conservation, as seen in the Green Belt Movement in Kenya, the Chipko Movement in India, and the struggles of Dayak women in Indonesia. Ecofeminism integrates gender and environmental issues to promote equitable sustainability. This study examines the relationship between women and the environment from an ecofeminist perspective, focusing on patriarchal domination, women’s interaction with nature, and their traditional roles and ecological knowledge in environmental preservation. The research employs a literature review method, using credible journals, books, and reports to explore ecofeminism and women’s roles in conservation. The study focuses on identifying key themes related to gender and conservation, exploring diverse perspectives, and developing a conceptual framework for systematic analysis and logical conclusions. The findings show that ecofeminism critiques patriarchal structures that subordinate women and nature, often making them targets of exploitation. This approach promotes the integration of gender analysis in ecology for inclusive and sustainable development, emphasizing women’s crucial role as agents of change toward a more just world. Ecofeminism highlights women’s involvement in resource management, conservation leadership, and their role as key actors in environmental justice and gender-sensitive policy-making. This study contributes by emphasizing the importance of the ecofeminist perspective in critiquing patriarchy, integrating gender analysis in ecology, and recognizing women as agents of change in resource management, conservation leadership, and the formulation of inclusive, gender-sensitive environmental policies for sustainable development.

Abstract

The problem in this research lies in how the representation of female cosplayers in the case of Ai Kirishima reflects gender bias in digital spaces. Public comments demonstrate the normalization of victim blaming and sexual objectification, which reproduce gender inequality within pop culture expressions such as cosplay on social media. This study aims to analyze how netizens’ comments on TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram reflect gender discourses that reproduce patriarchal values and justify violence against women, particularly in the context of objectification toward cosplayers in Indonesia’s digital space. This research employs a qualitative method using Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis to examine 120 selected comments. The data were thematically coded and interpreted across three levels textual, discursive practice, and social context. The findings reveal that digital spaces reproduce patriarchal discourse, positioning women particularly cosplayers as passive objects within narratives of violence. Through comments characterized by victim blaming, objectification, defense of perpetrators, and limited empathy, the dominance of gender bias becomes evident, marginalizing women and obscuring perpetrators’ accountability in public discourse. This study contributes to understanding how digital spaces function as arenas for the reproduction of patriarchy through the objectification of women. The findings enrich gender and digital media studies in Indonesia and encourage efforts to create more equitable, gender-sensitive, and violence-aware online spaces.

Abstract

The main issue addressed in this study is the low participation of women in community-level development and peacebuilding, as well as the need for effective strategies to promote inclusive social transformation through women’s economic, social, and leadership empowerment in Indonesia. This research aims to explore the role of the Wahid Foundation in empowering women through the Desa Damai (Peace Village) program, examining how women contribute to development processes and peacebuilding in the program’s target communities. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study analyzes the activities of the Wahid Foundation and their impact on women’s participation in development and conflict prevention, illustrating how its programs intervene in women’s empowerment and peace promotion across various communities. The findings indicate that women’s empowerment programs not only enhance leadership capacity and policy advocacy among women but also contribute to fostering social cohesion and strengthening peace at the local level. The Koperasi Wahid Cinta Damai (KCD) program has successfully empowered women through entrepreneurship training and financial literacy, creating an inclusive and cooperative environment among community members. This empowerment not only increases women’s economic independence but also contributes to preventing social conflict and radicalization. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on community-based women’s empowerment by demonstrating that improving women’s economic and social capacities through the Wahid Foundation’s programs effectively strengthens social cohesion, promotes local peace, and prevents potential conflict and radicalization.

Abstract

The main problem in this study is the increasing incidence of gender-based crimes against women in Katsina State, Nigeria. The research highlights recurring patterns of violence, examines the social, cultural, and economic causes, and assesses the effectiveness of institutional and community responses in preventing and addressing such crimes. This study aims to identify patterns of gender-based crimes against women in Katsina State, analyze the underlying causes, and evaluate the effectiveness of responses and interventions by institutions and the community. This study employed a qualitative design using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to explore participants’ lived experiences. Guided by Intersectional and Feminist Theories, data were collected through in-depth interviews with survivors and key informants from the Katsina State GBV Center. This study shows that gender-based violence in Katsina is influenced by the interaction of social, economic, and cultural factors, including low education, poverty, patriarchal norms, and family neglect. Although GBV centers provide comprehensive services, their effectiveness depends on coordination between the legal, medical, and social systems. The findings emphasize the importance of a holistic approach, including education, economic empowerment, legal protection, and social support, to reduce the vulnerability of women and girls to GBV. The findings emphasize the need for interventions that integrate education, economic empowerment, legal protection, and social support, as well as inter-agency coordination to prevent gender-based violence and reduce the vulnerability of women and girls.

Abstract

A major issue in classical fiqh is gender representation, where women are often positioned subordinate to men. Masāilun al-Nisā’ constructs female identities and domestic roles through the repetition of socio-religious norms. This study examines these performative mechanisms using Judith Butler’s framework to reveal both explicit and implicit gender biases. Employing a descriptive qualitative-interpretative approach, thematic analysis, and Butler’s gender performativity theory, the research analyzes primary texts and supporting literature to uncover constructions of women’s roles, identities, and subordination in domestic contexts. Findings indicate that Masāilun al-Nisā’ constructs female gender identities normatively and performatively within the Javanese context. While affirming moral-spiritual equality, the text prioritizes domestic roles. Butler’s perspective emphasizes that gender hierarchies are socially and religiously constructed, producing female identities recognized through piety, obedience, and domesticity, while reproducing patriarchal structures. These findings expand understanding of gender performativity in local fiqh texts, highlighting the interaction between religion and social construction. Practically, the study informs gender-sensitive religious curricula, revision of classical interpretations, and women’s empowerment in education, economic participation, and public engagement.

Abstract

Pesantren education plays a crucial role in shaping religious understanding and mindsets, including issues related to gender mainstreaming. This study aims to explore how gender influences pesantren education policies, particularly concerning efforts to mainstream gender. Using a qualitative approach with a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, this study utilized literature sourced from Publish or Perish, ERIC, and Google Scholar. A total of 64 relevant articles, published between 2013 and 2023, were identified and analyzed. The review examined key issues related to gender mainstreaming within the political landscape of pesantren education policies. The literature reviewed revealed diverse perspectives, particularly from Islamic feminist scholars, who attempt to unravel the complexities surrounding gender roles in Islamic educational institutions. Findings indicate that gender mainstreaming in pesantren represents a multifaceted challenge shaped by cultural, religious, and political influences. These factors significantly affect policy formulation and practical implementation within pesantren. By synthesizing various viewpoints, this study offers a deeper understanding of the relationship between gender and pesantren education. The study also highlights strategies for more effective integration of gender perspectives into educational policies. This research contributes by providing a comprehensive understanding of the cultural, religious, and political influences on gender mainstreaming in pesantren. Its findings provide a strategic basis for formulating more gender-responsive education policies and identifying best practices for integrating gender perspectives within pesantren environments.

Abstract

Although pesantren have a long-standing literacy tradition, the role of women’s leadership in sustaining santri literacy is often overlooked. Limited recognition of female leaders’ influence constrains understanding of how visionary and participative leadership fosters motivation, literacy practices, and the integration of cultural, institutional, and pedagogical aspects in pesantren. This study aims to understand Bu Nyai’s leadership in promoting santri literacy at Pesantren Annuqayah, exploring motivational strategies, literacy routines, and leadership innovations that cultivate a literacy culture, as well as the supporting factors for their success. A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed, collecting data through interviews, observation, and documentation, analyzed thematically with triangulation of sources, methods, and time to ensure credibility, capture subjective experiences, and relate findings to female leadership theory. Results indicate that Bu Nyai’s visionary, transformational, and participative leadership plays a central role in building a sustainable literacy culture and developing santri character. Institutional interaction, pedagogical practices, and social support create an adaptive literacy ecosystem. Literacy emerges as social, cultural, and professional capital gained through women’s leadership as agents of institutional transformation. The findings confirm that visionary and participative female leadership can promote sustainable literacy, strengthen santri character, and serve as a model for policy, pedagogical practice, and literacy ecosystem development in pesantren.
