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.

Abstract

This study explores adolescent girls' experiences with the stigma and prohibition of lipstick use in schools through a qualitative lens. Using a case study method and in-depth interviews with 10 young women aged 18–22 in Jabodetabek, the research is grounded in Eagly's Social Role Theory and analyzed thematically. Findings reveal that the lipstick ban reflects efforts to maintain traditional gender roles, where academic focus is prioritized over personal expression through appearance. Teachers’ bans and parental directives show how gender norms are reinforced in both school and home environments. The stigma from peers and educators illustrates how social expectations about female appearance shape interactions and self-perception. However, the absence of stigma in some cases indicates varying levels of social acceptance and suggests shifting, more flexible norms. Respondents were divided: some supported the ban for preserving academic focus, while others saw it as a limitation on personal expression. These perspectives highlight the tension between conformity to traditional roles and the desire for self-expression. Overall, the study underscores how gender expectations shape students' experiences of cosmetic use and how evolving social values may influence the perception and acceptance of such school policies.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the forms, dynamics, and effects of internet misogyny on women’s engagement in school-based digital and academic spaces. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, digital interaction analysis, and review of school records. The data were analyzed through condensation, data presentation, verification, content analysis, and discourse analysis. The findings indicate that internet misogyny appears in various forms, including derogatory language, sexist humor, memes, and digital symbols that reproduce gender stereotypes and normalize the marginalization of women. These practices are reinforced by school-based social and cultural structures, particularly through moral discourses, gendered role distribution, and tolerance toward sexist jokes. The effects include declining self-confidence, digital anxiety, avoidance of academic interaction spaces, and reduced participation of female students in classroom discussions and school organizations. This study implies the need for gender-responsive digital literacy, stronger student protection mechanisms, and the development of a safe, inclusive, and equitable school culture. Keywords: online misogyny, women's participation, school culture

Abstract

Modern social and economic changes have influenced the implementation of the eight family functions, particularly due to the growing number of career women managing dual roles. This study examines how career women working as State Civil Apparatus at the Fakultas Dakwah, UIN Sulthan Thaha Saifuddin Jambi, perform family functions and identifies functional shifts within contemporary families. Using a quantitative descriptive approach, a total sampling (saturated sampling) technique was employed to involve the entire population of 19 career women. Amidst the data collection process, 16 respondents successfully completed the questionnaire, yielding an 84.2% response rate. The findings show that most respondents effectively performed family functions, especially religious, affectional, protective, economic, and environmental functions. However, shifts were identified in the socialization and education functions as well as the religious guidance aspect through the involvement of daycare, domestic helpers, and extended family as an adaptive strategy. Strong family support enabled stability, cooperation, and harmony, demonstrating that career women can sustain family resilience through flexible and collaborative role adjustments.

Abstract

Gender discrimination in the workplace remains a global issue affecting social, economic, and health aspects. Unequal treatment in wages, career advancement, promotion opportunities, and access to workplace resources may contribute to psychological stress and adverse reproductive health consequences among women. These conditions can impact reproductive health, including difficulties related to pregnancy, making this issue important to analyze and address. This study aims to explore workplace gender discrimination and its implications for reproductive health through a systematic review. The keywords used were “Gender Discrimination” AND “Work Environment” AND “Reproductive Health”. This study took articles from 2014-2024 that discussed gender discrimination in the workplace and its implications for reproductive health. Result is A total of 1,710 articles were obtained. In the analysis phase, seven articles were selected for analysis. The findings consistently showed that workplace gender discrimination negatively affects women’s reproductive health through several pathways, including chronic psychological stress, reduced access to reproductive health support, delayed pregnancy planning, lower childbirth intentions, menstrual disorders, and increased risks associated with hazardous occupational exposures. The reviewed studies also highlighted persistent inequalities in wages, promotion opportunities, and workplace treatment across various employment sectors and countries. Workplace gender discrimination across sectors affects reproductive health through stress, hazardous conditions, and reduced opportunities for family planning and sexual health. Gender discrimination in the workplace also directly affects women’s reproductive health.   Keywords: discrimination, work environment, reproductive health, gender.

Abstract

This study examines colonial education in the Dutch East Indies within the framework of the Ethical Policy and analyzes Kartini’s aspirations for educational equality through her 1903 memorandum, “Educate the Javanese!”. Unlike studies that primarily focus on Kartini’s personal correspondence, this research examines the memorandum as a formal policy proposal addressed to the colonial government. Using the historical method and library research, the study analyzes the 1903 memorandum, Kartini’s correspondence, and relevant historiography. The findings show that Kartini viewed the limited educational development of the Javanese people as a consequence of restrictive colonial policies. To address this condition, she proposed educational reforms that included character-oriented education for the indigenous aristocracy, women’s education as the foundation of social progress, expanded access to literacy, and the development of professional competencies. These ideas reflect Kartini’s vision of education as a strategic instrument for social transformation and the realization of educational equality.

Abstract

Women in indigenous communities play a strategic role in maintaining family life and preserving cultural values. This study aims to examine the dual role of women in domestic and economic life, particularly in the context of the indigenous community of Kampung Naga. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design. Data was obtained through field observations, in-depth interviews, and literature studies to understand gender role division and women's contributions within the family. The results show that women not only play a major role as household managers and educators of cultural values within the family, but also contribute significantly to supporting the family economy through various productive activities based on the household and culture. This dual role is an important foundation for the economic, social, and cultural stability of the family, even though it often does not receive equal recognition. This study concludes that the recognition and strengthening of women's dual roles is very important in efforts to preserve traditional values and sustainable family development amid social change.   Keywords: kampung naga, role, women.
