Abstract

This research is grounded in environmental issues stemming from human exploitation of nature. Kampung Dukuh, located in West Java, is a traditional community that upholds local wisdom, particularly in managing forests and natural resources, fostering ecological balance. While previous studies have focused primarily on the roles of men, this research highlights the roles and positions of women in environmental preservation. It specifically explores the forms of local wisdom practiced by women in the use and conservation of natural resources. Employing ecofeminism and critical theory as analytical frameworks, the study examines the often-overlooked contributions of women to environmental stewardship. Findings show that nature is preserved through customary principles known as pikukuh pitutur, and pacaduan. Women actively transmit these values through oral storytelling, exemplary conduct, and written records. They also play vital roles in rituals—such as serving as lawang (ritual gatekeepers), guiding female pilgrims, performing the ngadamel tradition through nyepeng sapu (symbolic sweeping), and preparing traditional meals. The community’s reverence for women is symbolically reflected in their respect for nature; for example, the sugar palm tree is metaphorically likened to a wife, emphasizing the need for care and respect.

Abstract

Despite extensive scholarship on female mourning practices (iḥdād), male mourning within Islamic legal and gender studies is largely overlooked, creating a significant gap in understanding how widowers manage grief culturally and religiously. This study focuses on the neglected male mourning practices in Islamic contexts and how widowers navigate their grief. Through a qualitative method involving in-depth interviews with five widowers, alongside observations and document analysis (in the form of local prayer books, memorial schedules, and religious guidance texts), the data was thematically analyzed using the Braun and Clarke framework, combined with phenomenological insights to uncover emotional and ethical patterns. The findings indicate that widowers engage in ethical negotiations—such as postponing remarriage and avoiding social gatherings—that reflect an interplay between Islamic teachings and Javanese cultural norms. This research suggests that the Qira'ah Mubādalah perspective offers a valuable interpretive framework that situates these mourning practices within a context of reciprocal ethics rooted in spirituality, which has broader implications for gender ethics in contemporary Islamic discourse.

Abstract

The government-induced program Sustainable Food Garden (Pekarangan Pangan Lestari/P2L), holds significant potential for promoting inclusive development in the agricultural sector. As a community empowerment initiative, P2L enables both women and men to collaborate in managing household food gardens. Ideally, to ensure equal benefits, its implementation must consider a balanced division of roles within the household. Previous studies generally use the Harvard Analysis Framework mainly to map gender roles, access, and control in development programs. In contrast, this study goes further by examining how P2L creates space for women to build independence and gain the power to make decisions in their lives. A qualitative approach was applied, gathering insights from KWT members and the men involved in P2L activities. The data were analyzed using the Harvard Gender Analysis Framework, which assesses gender equality through three dimensions: activity profiles; access to and control over resources and benefits; and motivating factors behind women’s participation. Findings show that women’s productive roles at home provide them with time flexibility to participate in P2L. Men also contribute, particularly in tasks such as watering, fertilizing, and manual weeding. Access to and control over resources are fairly distributed between men and women. Women’s participation is supported by both internal and external motivations. Furthermore, P2L fosters empowerment by creating space for autonomy, independence, and self-reliance among KWT women.

Abstract

This study explores the dynamics of religious expression among young Muslim women in Bali within the context of socio-cultural diversity and the challenges of being a minority. Bali, as a global tourism destination, has a history of Muslim communities dating back to the 14th century coexisting with the Hindu majority. The research employs a descriptive-qualitative method, utilizing participant observation, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), and document analysis. Primary data were collected from young Muslim women, community leaders, and Islamic youth organizations in Bali. The results reveal that young Muslim women face significant challenges, including religious discrimination, social pressure in expressing their faith, limited access to religious education, difficulties in obtaining halal food, and religious conversion due to marital pressures. On the other hand, they utilize social media as a new space to express their religious identities. In interfaith interactions, young Muslim women demonstrate adaptability to local norms while facing tensions between religious identity and social demands. Theoretically, this research enriches the discourse on the relationship between identity, religious minorities, and religious expression in multicultural contexts such as Bali.

Abstract

Using qualitative methods grounded in social identity theory and transnational feminism, this research explores how Indonesian female health professionals act as cultural ambassadors through their professional roles and community engagements. This study explores the phenomenon of Indonesia’s diaspora branding in Perth, Australia through the experiences of female healthcare workers, with a specific focus on the communicative strategies that foster cultural identity and professional integration. The participants navigated multiple identities as healthcare professionals, women, migrants, and cultural ambassadors. They balanced their professional duties with maintaining their cultural heritage. Moreover, their deep understanding of Indonesian values contributed to their ability to provide culturally sensitive care. This competence not only benefited patients from similar backgrounds but also enriched the multicultural fabric of the healthcare setting. Though these women faced challenges, such as balancing professional responsibilities with family roles, they provided opportunities to showcase strengths such as empathy and caregiving, which are essentials in the healthcare sector. The study was limited to Indonesia female diaspora who live in Perth, Australia. The results provide insights into the intersections of communication, gender, and migration, contributing to an understanding of how identity is negotiated and represented in multicultural contexts. Implications for intercultural communication and diaspora identity promotion are discussed.

Abstract

Land conflict is a very crucial issue. The persistence of this conflict has ecological and economic implications, as well as causing the deformation of social relations. These three contexts are the fundamental motives for women conflict survivors at the local level to organize a movement. This study aims to comprehensively explore the strategies, patterns, and forms of the movement by women survivors of land conflict and its meaning in relation to ecofeminism. This study uses a qualitative method. The data were obtained through in-depth interviews and observation towards movement of women conflict survivors in local communities in Jambi Province. The findings of this study show that first, the social movement of women survivors of land conflict is a reformative movement. Second, the movement’s strategies involve framing and protest actions, mobilization of solidarity through religious activities, and environmental empowerment. This study concludes that the movement of women survivors of land conflict is a form of ecofeminism, which not only serves as a way to advocate for justice at the local level but also as an effort to deconstruct the legacy of agrarian colonialism that is structurally unequal and gender-biased.
