Abstract

This study examines socio-economic poverty among Yoruba women in the Southwestern region of Nigeria, with women as the main unit of analysis and Yorubaland as the socio-cultural context of the study. The aim of this study is to identify the structural, cultural, and economic factors that contribute to the sustainability of Yoruba women's socio-economic poverty and to examine their implications for women's empowerment and national development. This research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing a critical analysis of academic literature, policy documents, and secondary data from international development agency reports, complemented by contextual observations of the socio-economic realities of the Yoruba people. The findings of the study show that the socio-economic poverty of Yoruba women is influenced by limited access to education, patriarchal cultural norms, economic inequality, government policies that are less favorable to women, the high cost of living, and lack of access to financial resources. These factors collectively limit women's economic participation, inhibit asset accumulation, and reinforce cycles of dependency and vulnerability. The study also found that unpaid domestic work and the exclusion of women from the decision-making process weakened their socio-economic progress. This article contributes to the study of gender and development by presenting a contextual analysis of women's poverty in Yoruba society and affirms the urgency of gender-sensitive policies as a sustainable development strategy in Nigeria.

Abstract

This article examines post-conflict Muslim-Christian relations in Indonesia, using communal trauma as the primary unit of analysis. The aim of this study was to show how trauma functions as a relational reality that forms patterns of segregation, latent prejudice, and possible interfaith encounters. This study employs a qualitative approach through narrative inquiry, analyzing the documentary film Beta Mau Jumpa as a narrative-theological text, supported by a literature review on interreligious conflict and trauma theology. The results show that post-conflict trauma does not stop as an individual experience but operates as a collective memory that shapes Muslim-Christian relations in an ongoing manner. The novelty of this research lies in the positioning of trauma as a locus theologicus in the study of interreligious relations. This article contributes to the development of contextual theology and religious education by offering a more sensitive theological framework to the experience of wounds and post-conflict reconciliation.

Abstract

This study examines the practice of Mowea Sarapu within the Tolaki Muslim community in Indonesia, focusing on the husband as the primary unit of analysis. In this context, the husband symbolically "hands over" the cheating wife to his lover through the ritual of splitting the sarong and the payment of customary fines, often without formal divorce. The purpose of this study is to examine the conformity of these practices with Islamic norms (marriage, talaq, ishlah, and maqasid al-shari'ah) and to evaluate the normative position of women at the intersection of customs, religion, and state law. Utilizing normative legal research methods with conceptual and comparative approaches, this study draws on a literature review that focuses on the Tolaki/Kalosara tradition, Islamic family law, gender discourse, and Indonesian positive law. The findings suggest that Mowea Sarapu is able to mitigate communal conflict and restore dignity, but it creates a liminal zone for women's legal status, which is vulnerable to livelihood insecurity, hereditary issues, and stigma. The novelty lies in its framing as a reconstructable "ishlah adat." The contribution of research, in the form of socio-theological frameworks (maqasid, legal pluralism, and gender justice), aims to transform it into a model that is women-centered, more equitable, and in line with substantive justice and the rule of law.
