Abstract

This paper examines the dominance of gender relations in the theory of Qira’ah Mubadalah, introduced by Faqihuddin Abdul Kodir as a hermeneutical method for interpreting religious texts based on the principle of reciprocity. In essence, Qira’ah Mubadalah is a universal approach, derived from Qur’anic verses that emphasize justice, equality, and partnership in social relations. However, in its practical application, the theory has been primarily focused on gender issues, particularly the relationship between men and women in both domestic and public spheres. This orientation is inseparable from the patriarchal culture and gendered nature of the Arabic language, as well as from Faqihuddin’s feminist perspective as its initiator. Employing a literature study, this research explores the ideas, principles, and application of Qira’ah Mubadalah and situates it within the framework of contemporary Qur’anic hermeneutics and feminist exegesis. The study finds that while Qira’ah Mubadalah significantly contributes to promoting more gender-just interpretations, its dominance in gender-related discourse makes it appear partial. Therefore, Qira’ah Mubadalah should be extended to a broader range of social relations in order to fully embody the Qur’an’s universal spirit.

Abstract

Gender dysphoria, as a condition of discomfort resulting from a mismatch between gender identity and biological sex, is analyzed as a complex biopsychosocial problem. Gender identity disorder is a psychological condition that is distinct from sexual orientation, but there is also a relationship. Although society generally interprets this disorder as only being experienced by   transgender people,  the fact is that people who are not transgender can also suffer from this disorder. This study uses a qualitative-analytical method through literature review and thematic analysis of the collected textual data. The result is a prohibition against physical changes made by individuals with gender dysphoria or otherwise, based on efforts to preserve the authenticity of creation (fitrah) and prevent harm. Exceptions are only made for intersex conditions that require biological clarification. As an alternative, the recommended treatment is through a psychological-spiritual approach. Given that gender dysphoria is closely related to psychological disorders resulting from such discomfort, psychotherapy such as cognitive behavioral therapy, individual, family, and group therapy is considered more in line with human nature. This approach aims to help individuals manage dysphoria, strengthen self-acceptance, and align their psychological condition with the nature of creation, rather than making physical changes that are prohibited.

Abstract

This study analyzes the harmonization of the implementation of restorative justice in Indonesia through a comparative normative empirical approach involving five countries, namely New Zealand, Australia, Canada, South Africa, and Indonesia. The type of research used is normative-empirical legal research with legislative, conceptual, comparative law, and sociological legal approaches. Normative analysis of restorative justice regulations is combined with empirical data to assess legal consistency, institutional capacity, and integration of socio-cultural values in practice. Data collection was carried out through document studies of laws and regulations, institutional policies, and scientific literature, as well as in-depth interviews with law enforcement officials, restorative justice facilitators, and community leaders. The validity of the data is maintained through triangulation of sources and methods. Data analysis was carried out qualitatively using content analysis, comparative analysis between countries, and the Miles and Huberman interactive analysis model which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results show that New Zealand has the highest level of effectiveness through a comprehensively integrated legislative framework, while Indonesia still faces sectoral regulatory fragmentation with limited implementation beyond children's cases. Comparisons show Indonesia scores lowest in system integration and institutional support, despite having strong potential in community-based mediation practices and customary values. The main challenges include weak legal harmonization and limitations in monitoring and evaluation systems. This study contributes to the development of a contextual and sustainable model of restorative justice implementation in a pluralistic legal system.

Abstract

Garut Regency faces serious problems related to the high rate of sexual violence against adolescents which indicates the need for comprehensive reproductive health treatment. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of cross-sector collaboration in improving adolescent reproductive health through the synergy of the Garut Branch of the Indonesian Women's Coalition with the Garut Regency Family Planning Population Control Office. The research method uses a qualitative approach with a triangulation method which is assisted in analyzing using Nvivo software. This research identifies five dimensions of collaboration, namely cooperation, flexibility, responsibility, compromise, and communication. The results of the study show that collaboration is effective through the implementation of educational programs in the form of socialization, victim assistance, and sexual violence prevention campaigns. However, there are still obstacles such as social stigma in society, limited resources, and less interactive methods of delivering material. This study recommends the need for a more adolescent-friendly approach with the strengthening of interactive discussions and continuous evaluation to maximize the long-term impact on improving adolescent health in Garut Regency.

Abstract

This research analyzes the dynamics of gender harmony and household integrity in migrant worker families in Ponorogo through a qualitative case study approach. The feminization of international migration creates complex gender role restructuring that involves negotiation between Javanese cultural values, Islamic religiosity norms, and the practical demands of transnational life. The findings reveal heterogeneity in family adaptive responses, where the redistribution of domestic roles ranges from progressive transformation to the perpetuation of patriarchy, influenced by individual gender literacy, social stigma, and the quality of digital communication. Although women*'s** economic contributions increase their bargaining power, conservative gender ideology perpetuates the double burden and relational inequality. Family resilience is determined by the convergence of extended family support, remittance management strategies, legal literacy, and religiosity as a coping mechanism. The research identifies gaps in legal protection, risks of family disintegration due to boundary ambiguity, and the transformation of younger generation aspirations. The theoretical implications enrich the transnational family sociology discourse with local cultural perspectives, while practical recommendations include developing a holistic protection framework that integrates gender-sensitive pre-departure counseling, the strengthening of community networks, and sustainable empowerment programs.

Abstract

This study will examine fashion as a form of resistance for women to actualize bodily autonomy. Women's lives within a patriarchal system shape the formation of a controlled discourse on women's fashion. This study interprets this control over women's fashion as a process of domesticating the body (docile bodies). Sandra Lee emphasizes that women's bodies are subject to discriminatory control. However, counter-discourse can change hegemonic discourse through the circulation of what Foucault calls "subjugated knowledge.” Therefore, this study aims to examine fashion as a site of counter-discourse about what fashion means to young female feminist activists who refuse to contribute to the production of the discourse of "domesticated bodies." This study observes young female feminist activists in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. It is qualitative research. Data collection techniques include three methods: observation, interviews, and literature review. This study utilized interviews with several young female feminist activists in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The selection of informants used purposive sampling techniques, with a background as a student (either state or private in DIY) and involvement in the feminist activism movement. The results of the study show the following counter-discourse: first, a new awareness that the body is a space for contestation of resistance; second, the informants show new fashion expressions, which are autonomous choices for their bodies; and third, using fashion as a means to spread their freedom and spread feminist issues.

Abstract

This study describes forms of student exploitation in campus fundraising activities through a Marxist feminist perspective. In practice, fundraising is often viewed as a learning activity and a means of developing students' interpersonal skills. However, the findings of this study indicate that behind this narrative lies a power relationship that places students, especially women, in exploitative positions of reproductive and emotional labor. This study used qualitative methods with a phenomenological approach to explore the lived experiences of three informants directly involved in fundraising activities. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, organizational observations, documentation studies, and literature reviews, then describes using thematic analysis techniques. The results of the study indicate four forms of exploitation: (1) a greater reproductive and emotional workload on female students; (2) a gender-based division of labor that places women in tasks related to body representation and public interactions; (3) structural pressures through hierarchies and organizational cultures that normalize uncompensated work; and (4) the commodification of women's bodies as a strategy for obtaining funds. This study concludes that the exploitation that occurs is the result of the intersection of campus capitalism and patriarchy that operate through organizational structures. These findings emphasize the importance of critiquing fundraising practices to make them more fair, transparent, and sensitive to gender issues.

Abstract

This study examines the phenomenon of gender bias embedded within the technical structure of Arabic textbooks, a pedagogical tool often perceived as a neutral medium for knowledge transfer. Specifically, it aims to uncover gender subordination within Muhammad Yusron’s Qawāid al-Lughah al-Arabiyyah through the lens of Roland Barthes’ semiotics. Employing a qualitative-descriptive method, the analysis scrutinizes three primary instructional components: reading materials (al-qirā’atu), grammatical rules (al-qawāidu), and exercises (al-tadrībātu), to deconstruct the two-stage signification system of denotation and connotation. The findings reveal that gender subordination is systematically manifested through the dominance of male subjects as the primary centers of intellectual, social, and religious authority. Semiotically, the marginalization of female representation and the use of collective diction, such as substituting zaujah (wife) with usrah (family), serve as potent indicators of "masculine normativity." Through repetitive grammatical signs and an exercise ratio of 5:1 favoring males, the textbook effectively reinforces the myth of men as the central subjects of Arabic linguistics, while relegating women to marginal roles. This study concludes that seemingly objective grammatical rules function as a vehicle for internalizing patriarchal ideology. These implications necessitate a deconstruction and reconstruction of the Arabic curriculum to foster a more inclusive, gender-responsive framework that ensures equitable representation without symbolic discrimination.
