Abstract

In reconciliation practices, wives’ consent is often neglected and interpreted differently across Islamic schools, while gender justice emphasizes equality in marriage. The husband’s unilateral right to reclaim his wife after talaq raj‘i reflects persistent male dominance within marital relations. This study analyzes wives’ reconciliation rights from gender justice and Islamic law in Indonesia, identifying transformation of Islamic family law, Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) reconstruction, shift from male authority to participatory relational justice. This study employed a qualitative normative-juridical approach using library research. Primary and secondary data sources were analyzed through content analysis and comparative analysis between classical fiqh perspectives, the KHI, and gender justice perspectives. This study finds: (1) Islamic family law transforms toward gender justice via women’s rights, husbands’ ethical duties, khulu’, and equal marital relations; (2) KHI reconstructs reconciliation by requiring wife’s consent, reinforcing her dignity, autonomy, and gender justice; (3) comparing classical law with gender perspectives shows a shift from absolute male authority to participatory reconciliation and relational justice. This study found a transformation of Islamic family law toward gender justice, the reconstruction of the KHI through the requirement of the wife’s consent, and a shift from absolute male authority toward participatory and relational reconciliation. This study contributes to integrating gender justice and maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah within Islamic law, while also encouraging the strengthening of KHI implementation, judicial training, and the inclusion of wife consent clauses in marriage contracts.

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

Female cosplayers (costume play) in Indonesian digital communities experience objectification and victim blaming, as illustrated in the case of Ai Kirishima, where online responses reinforce gender bias and moral surveillance. This study aims to critically analyze how digital discourse is constructed in cases of gender-based violence against female cosplayers, focusing on three layers of discourse: media framing, patterns of public comments, and the reproduction of legitimized violence. This study employs a qualitative approach using Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis to examine media framing, public comments, and social context in the Ai Kirishima case through digital comment data analyzed thematically. This study identifies three findings: 1) social media frames the tragedy in a sensational and gender-biased manner, prioritizing virality over victim sensitivity and generating ambiguous empathy and victim blaming. 2) public comments are dominated by victim blaming, body objectification, and perpetrator justification, while empathy toward victims remains a minority. 3) digital discourse reproduces the legitimization of gender-based violence by shifting sympathy from victims to perpetrators. This study concludes that digital media reproduces systemic gender bias: media frame events sensationally, online users engage in victim blaming, and sympathy shifts toward perpetrators, thereby reinforcing the legitimization of gender-based violence. This study contributes to digital gender studies by introducing the concept of sympathy reversal, while also promoting critical gender literacy, platform reform, and victim-centered media framing.

Abstract

The increasing spread of radicalism in rural areas places women as the most affected group; however, they remain excluded from peacebuilding and development processes. This situation reflects a serious irony that may threaten the long-term social sustainability of Indonesia’s future. This study analyzes the Peace Village Program’s response to rural radicalism through women’s empowerment and evaluates its impact on peace declarations and cooperative-based economic institutions. This qualitative case study employed document analysis, participatory observation, and interviews. Data were analyzed thematically using source triangulation and audit trail techniques to ensure validity and adherence to research ethics. The study findings indicate that: (1) the Peace Village Program responds to rural radicalism by empowering women through strengthening tolerance, peace, economic capacity, as well as training and advocacy; (2) the program successfully declares peace villages and empowers women as entrepreneurs; and (3) economic empowerment through the Peace Village Cooperative integrates nine peace indicators, establishes Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes), and distributes loans. The study concludes that the Peace Village Program effectively addresses radicalism and empowers women economically, but high participation does not ensure substantive power due to elite dominance and donor dependency. This study contributes to strengthening an integrative approach to village-based peacebuilding and emphasizes the importance of a power perspective, while highlighting the need to enhance women’s capacity, local institutions, and economic sustainability.

Abstract

Gender-based crimes against women in Katsina State occur at alarming levels and are systemically entrenched amid armed conflict. Extreme poverty, patriarchal norms, and weak legal protection create spaces of impunity for perpetrators, while inadequate institutional responses exacerbate women’s vulnerability and silence survivors. The aim of this study is to examine the structural factors underlying violence, the dominant forms of violence, and the implementation gaps in gender-based violence (GBV) protection policies in Katsina State, Nigeria. This study employs Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) with in-depth interviews conducted with 14 survivors and key informant interviews. The data were thematically analyzed using source triangulation, member checking, and reflexivity to ensure validity. Three key findings: (1) structural factors: poverty, economic inequality, internal displacement, patriarchal norms, with most vulnerable groups; (2) dominant violence: rape, survival-based sexual exploitation, economic neglect by husbands, forced marriage, physical and psychological violence; (3) government adopted Child Rights Act, VAPP Act, GBV centers, but implementation constrained by weak law enforcement, poor coordination, limited rural access, cultural norms sustaining impunity. This study concludes violence against women in Katsina State is driven by poverty, patriarchy, and displacement, dominated by rape, sexual exploitation, and forced marriage, while weak policies and impunity sustain it. This study contributes by strengthening structural feminist and intersectionality perspectives, and proposes an ecosystem model that simultaneously addresses economic neglect, cultural norms, and the roles of religious leaders.

Abstract

A major issue in classical fiqh is gender representation, where women are often positioned subordinate to men. Masāil al-Nisā’ constructs female identities and domestic roles through the repetition of socio-religious norms. This study analyzes the construction of gender in Masāil al-Nisā’ using the performativity theory of Judith Butler. It reveals how fiqh legitimizes binary norms, naturalizes masculine authority, and religiously reproduces women’s subordination within domestic and marital hierarchies. 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. The study on Masāil al-Nisāʾ finds that women’s access to the public sphere is conditional and necessity-based with unclear moral regulation. Textual prohibitions against imitating the opposite sex reinforce binary gender divisions. Women are positioned as inherently domestic supporters of husbands or fathers with limited public roles. Although balance is emphasized, male authority in final decisions results in concealed gender subordination. This study concludes that Masāil al-Nisāʾ constructs a normative and hierarchical gender framework, conditionally granting women public space while consistently positioning men as the primary authority, thereby producing covert subordination in gender relations based on religious legitimacy. This study enriches Islamic gender studies, critiques the concept of women's nature (kodrat), state ibuism, and promotes critical reading of fiqh texts.

Abstract

Although Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) are formally recognized within the national education system, the Pesantren Law lacks a specific gender-responsive legal framework. Consequently, male domination, policies without measurable indicators, and low gender literacy continue to perpetuate systemic inequality. This study analyzes the structural, cultural, and regulatory barriers to gender mainstreaming in pesantren, including male domination, normative policies, low gender literacy, the absence of a gender-responsive legal framework in the Pesantren Law, and weak monitoring mechanisms. This study employed a qualitative approach using a systematic literature review (SLR) method based on data from Publish or Perish, ERIC, and Google Scholar databases from 2013–2023. Thematic analysis was conducted using NVivo, while the PRISMA framework ensured validity and reliability. This study identified three findings: (1) gender mainstreaming in pesantren is hindered by male domination, normative policies, low literacy, and no gender framework in the Pesantren Law; (2) the Law lacks indicators and monitoring, so male domination in leadership and curriculum persists; (3) male leadership and conservative interpretations impede equality, demanding curriculum reform, inclusive policies, and women’s empowerment. This study concludes that gender mainstreaming in pesantren remains stagnant due to male domination, policies lacking measurable indicators, and weak regulatory frameworks, thereby making structural reform an urgent necessity. This study contributes to expanding the theory of power relations in education while offering substantive and accountable gender policy reforms in pesantren.

Abstract

Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) have a strong literacy tradition, yet female leaders’ roles in sustaining it are often overlooked. Recognizing their visionary, participatory leadership is essential to understanding how they foster student motivation, literacy practices, and integration of cultural, institutional, and pedagogical dimensions. This study aims to analyze the leadership role of Nyai (wife of the Kiai) in sustaining and developing the literacy culture of santri in pesantren through leadership transformation, the strengthening of literacy institutions, and the establishment of a santri literacy ecosystem. A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The data were analyzed thematically using triangulation of sources, methods, and time to ensure credibility, capture participants’ subjective experiences, and connect the findings with theories of women’s leadership. The study finds three key points. First, the Nyai's leadership transformed into competence-based institutional authority via mandatory reading programs and restructuring. Second, literacy reinforcement combined regulations with non-formal policies, expanding academic spaces and santri participation. Third, literacy success relied on synergy among visionary leadership, santri motivation, spiritual climate, institutional support, and trust in santri to manage literacy. The study concludes that Nyai's leadership transforms from domestic companion to competence-based institutional authority, synergizing visionary leadership, student motivation, and trust to make literacy an institutionalized and regenerated intellectual heritage. This study contributes to enriching transformational leadership and institutional work models, offering a practical literacy empowerment model for Islamic schools.
