Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic reshaped schooling by shifting educational responsibilities from classrooms to homes, placing a concentrated load on women. In the suburban areas of Bekasi, Greater Jakarta, mothers and older sisters became the primary supervisors of elementary school children’s online learning while managing everyday household demands. Yet, thier experiences and insights rarely appear in regional education policies. This research examines how women handled the intensified tasks of supporting elementary-level online learning and explores the factors that limit their involvement in policy discussions. Elementary students were selected because their learning requires close and continuous supervision. Using a qualitative design, the research draws on focus group discussions and in-depth semi-structured interviews, followed by a three-stage coding analysis. The findings identify three key factors shaping women’s limited policymaking presence. (1) Ideological factors stem from persistent assumptions that public decision-making is not a women’s domain. (2) Internal factors arise from tensions and emotional demands within the household. (3) External factors include social expectations and institutional arrangements that expand women’s physical and mental workload. By documenting these layered pressures, the study demonstrates how women become the primary actors sustaining emergency education while remaining structurally sidelined from policy arenas. The analysis offers empirical insight into the gendered dynamics of home-based schooling in suburban Global South contexts.

Abstract

Acehnese women living in rural areas during the conflict immediately experienced economic problems and violations. Entering a normal phase, rural women returned to their roles outside the home, helping to build the family economy. Inequality in various sectors has exacerbated the powerlessness of women living in these areas, particularly in economic matters. This study analyzes the forms of post-conflict women's participation and the obstacles they face in economic empowerment. The documents in this study are supported by various field data, informal interviews, and various sources of information from research literature on the burdens of rural women qualitatively. The results of the study indicate that women in North Aceh, particularly in the rural communities of Nisam, Guha Ulue, Alue Rambe, and Pulau Iboh in Kutamakmur District, are mostly farmers who also work as housewives. Their participation is still lacking in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of village development. Women's empowerment in Aceh faces various structural problems, including patriarchy, discriminatory interpretations of Islamic Sharia law, poverty, and low levels of political participation at the village level. The research findings indicate that rural women in Aceh have significant potential and a strategic role in village development but still face various cultural and structural barriers that limit their participation in empowerment.

Abstract

The Saudi Arabian government's policy of allowing women to perform Umrah without a mahram since 2022 marks a significant change. However, this raises an urgent need for a comprehensive security system. This study aims to analyze the concept and implementation of a safe space for female pilgrims without a mahram during the Umrah pilgrimage, viewed from a legal, social, and spiritual perspective. This descriptive-analytical qualitative study employs three main data collection techniques: in-depth interviews for primary data, documentation studies and policy analysis for secondary data, and field observations. Data validity was tested using source triangulation. The results show that a safe space is formed through three key elements: (1) Policy and technology, namely implementing gender-based segregation of worship areas and the use of nusuk applications and GPS trackers as a substitute for the protective function of mahrams, (2) Social and collectivity such as the formation of solidarity and formal and informal mentoring networks among female pilgrims, (3) Spiritual and Autonomy providing the availability of a worship environment that supports devotion and spiritual independence. The construction of this safe space aligns with the principles of maqāṣid al-syarī'ah, particularly in safeguarding the body and soul (ḥifẓ al-nafs). This study recommends strengthening technology- based security systems, developing specific guidance for assistance, and improving digital literacy for pilgrims.
