Abstract

Women's participation in politics remains a significant issue, despite the emphasis on gender equality in political party administration since 2002 and the encouragement of a 30% legislative quota for women in 2003. Women continue to encounter substantial challenges when entering the political sphere. Data from the Indonesia Statistics of Malang City indicate that the percentage of women in the legislature remains below 30%. In the 2019 Election, political participation among Malang's citizens reached 77.5%. This research investigates whether there are differences in women's political participation in Malang City between the 2019 and 2024 elections and explores the changes in the 2024 Election. Employing the participation concept used by the General Election Supervisory Agency to measure the Election Vulnerability Index, this study adopts an explanative qualitative approach with the women of Malang City as the research population. Data collection was conducted through interviews, documentation, and observation. The data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon statistical test. The research results indicate significant differences in the levels of women's political participation between the 2019 and 2024 Elections, with a significance level of 0.05. Although the political participation of women in these elections is still categorized as low, this is attributed to women's apathy towards political conditions and the perception of politics as a male domain, as well as the complex monitoring report mechanisms. Women perceive the political sphere as harsh and unsuitable, further influenced by stereotypes that emphasize femininity and domestic roles, which encourage passive behavior in political arenas.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the dominant factors of early marriage from the other perspective of married teenage girls. This Research was conducted from May 2022 until January 2023 in Singosari, Malang. Purpose sampling was used to select 20 electable informants. Data was collected directly through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using conventional content analysis methods. This research uses a qualitative method with a content analysis design for exploring topics related to cultural context. The qualitative method with content analysis design in this study uses a traditional approach. The research results showed that multiple factors encourage the decision to marry at an early age from the perspective of adolescent girls including two categories namely "socio-economic conditions" and "individual conditions." Therefore, the problem of early marriage is caused by many factors, and a multidimensional and interdisciplinary approach is needed to develop and implement systematic, effective, massive, and comprehensive steps, including programs to increase knowledge, understanding, and awareness of teenagers, parents and society about the negative impacts of early marriage. The implications of this research highlight the need for more targeted policies and interventions to prevent early marriage, as well as the important role of education and community support in changing perceptions and social norms that support this practice. This research also provides a basis for the development of youth empowerment programs that focus on improving their quality of life and well-being.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to find out the psychological dynamics in children's boarding schools, which focus on the problems of the psychological well-being of young students who are felt to be in the boarding school environment as well as the challenges of boarding schools in fulfilling the psychological well-being of students in the perspective of genderfriendly boarding schools. This research is qualitative research with the type of Field Research and uses a phenomenological paradigm. The research subjects were students of school age, namely 6-12 years. Through interviews, observation, and documentation, data was collected for both the santri and the caretakers of the boarding schools (kiai or nyai). Data analysis uses the Miles and Huberman model, through four steps, namely data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion. The results showed that there were still some conditions for students who experienced psychological turmoil during the adjustment period, such as homesickness, self-acceptance, difficulties in establishing social relations with other friends problems of independence, especially for low-class students and at the beginning of the boarding year. A gender-biased perspective was found in fulfilling children's rights in Islamic boarding schools, such as the assumption that looking after women is more difficult than men, women have to take extra care of themselves and their morals while men are labeled as difficult to manage, and tend to be naughty. Besides that, the fulfillment of nutrition and balanced nutrition is not found in Islamic boarding schools with the reason for developing the principle of zuhud (simplicity). This is what makes it a particular challenge for Islamic boarding schools to help the growth and personal development of students so that they feel comfortable and happy in the boarding school with all the activities and activities that bind students, both male and female students. This challenge is very important to be captured by pesantren managers such as forming child-friendly pesantren.

Abstract

This article aims to determine the policy and practice of gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) in Islamic universities in Indonesia, with a particular focus on the State Islamic University (UIN) Mataram.  This qualitative research was carried out for 5 months in 2023, using indicators of gender-responsive higher education through observation, interviews, and documentation. Meanwhile, the analysis is carried out through three stages, namely restatement, description, and interpretation. Studies show that UIN Mataram has moved towards gender-responsive higher education.  Some gender-responsive policies have been implemented to create an inclusive campus. The application of GESI can be observed through four dimensions: institutional, three pillars of higher education, institutional governance, and culture of non-violence. Although the university leadership is dominated by men, gender-responsive men can serve as role models to encourage inclusive cultural transformation. UIN Mataram has had a Center for Gender and Child Studies since 2002, which conducts gender programs, activities, and advocacy; gender textbooks to guide teaching and learning in the classroom; the involvement of female lecturers in research; the provision of support for women-friendly villages; the availability of facilities to address practical gender needs; the establishment of UIN Care, which focuses on preventing and responding to sexual violence; and the Center for Literacy and Social Disability Studies and Services (PUSKA LDS), which fosters social inclusion. Factors such as patriarchal culture, religious understanding, and leadership commitment have an impact on the implementation of GESI in the Islamic university.

Abstract

The “motherhood penalty” refers to the negative impact that becoming a mother has on women's overall economic outcomes. This study aims to determine if the severity of this penalty varies for employed and self-employed women across different income levels (poor, middle, and high). Understanding these variations can help policymakers create tailored support systems to promote gender equality and address specific challenges faced by each group. This research fills a gap by examining the extent of the motherhood penalty across women with different incomes and employment statuses. It uses ordinary least squares (OLS) regression on pooled data from the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) 2000–2014, combining data from 2000, 2007, and 2014 to account for historical economic changes and unique child ownership. The IFLS provides an eight-year work history, crucial for controlling the motherhood penalty mechanism from the forgone experience phase, a feature absent in other surveys. The findings reveal that, compared to childless women, employed mothers earn the least regardless of income level, with a woman's income decreasing as the number of children increases. However, in low-, middle-, and high-paid jobs, only high-paid working mothers experience significantly lower wages compared to their childless counterparts. Self-employed women are less likely to face the motherhood penalty. These results highlight the need for policy interventions to support employed mothers, particularly those in high-income brackets, while recognizing that self-employed women do not experience the same negative financial effects. The study concludes with policy recommendations for decision-makers and stakeholders to address these issues.
