Abstract

After the COVID-19 pandemic, a new condition (New Normal) affects a variety of human activities, especially the working conditions of urban women. Until now, women have been more than viewed as merely objects of domestication, worker exploitation, verbal or physical violence, and other forms of discrimination. This study aims to disclose an alternative perspective on women as subjects actively negotiating their domestic and public roles. This new condition introduces adjustments to women's work-at-home (work-from-home) and family responsibilities during the pandemic (approximately for two years). This research used a qualitative method with in-depth interviews through mapping a new condition of women who were able to negotiate and resist during the pandemic in their families. This study was conducted with working mothers in Surabaya, Sidoarjo, and Gresik. The findings of this study revealed that urban working women frequently negotiate and resist their roles, meaning that gender roles or relations are not static but are always in the process of being.

Abstract

The practice of dance has historically been associated with complex social and political functions. There is abundant evidence demonstrating dance’s centrality in society, and it has become an integral part of the historical process. Concurrently, dance becomes an identity associated with women. In line with Hobsbawm’s concept of the invention of tradition. This study investigates the Jathilan Obyog tradition in Ponorogo through the lens of Hobsbawm’s notion of the invention of tradition, focusing on the dominant elite and the participation of Jathil women. The present study employs a qualitative approach, specifically utilizing ethnographic methodology. The data were collected through participant observation, interviews, and documentation that were tailored to the specific context and research objectives. The investigation employed the notion of the fabrication of tradition, initially introduced by Eric Hobsbawm and Terence Ranger, as the focal point of exami­nation. The result shows that in a hegemonic endeavor that attempts to ‘discipline’ the tradition, Jathil women have succeeded in determining the power to reinvent tradition in picturesque ways, primarily through the body and with massive media support to create the process of reconstructing social memory and imagination. This research brings positive views of women as cultural agents within society.

Abstract

Since 1960, the transmigration program between Java Island and Lampung Province has been massive. Some of the transmigration players are impoverished farmers seeking fresh farmland. The financial conditions of transmigrants motivate women to work in both the domestic and productive sectors. This study aims to determine women's roles and the effect of social pressure on women's roles in the agricultural region of the transmigration area in Pringsewu Regency, Lampung Province. The study was performed between November 2021 and March 2022. The research employed a qualitative case study approach. Forty respondents serve as both housewives and productive agricultural workers. The results of the study indicate that women in the Pringsewu transmigration area have three roles: housewife (domestic work), productive work (farming), and social work. Women play these equivalent roles as men in agricultural work. Women who do not engage in productive work (farming) are considered unproductive among their family and neighbors who make up stories about them. In agrarian societies in transmigration areas, a low level of education encourages the persistence of inequality. To achieve gender equality, numerous stakeholders must collaborate and maintain their efforts, particularly in agricultural communities in transmigration areas.

Abstract

Since 2017-2021, case of electronic-based sexual violence (EBSV) reported to service institution continues to increase, and a majority of the victims are women. This research aims to describe the EBSV case data, explain legal protection efforts given to the victims, then analyze it using the legal system theory. The type of research used is juridical-empirical with locus research at Women Crisis Centre (WCC) Dian Mutiara. The research results show that on month January 2020 - September 2022, there were 42 cases handled by WCC Dian Mutiara. Then the legal protection for victims is carried out through preventive and repressive efforts. In terms of legal structure, the facilities and infrastructure for handling KSBE cases at WCC Dian Mutiara and the police are not yet fully available. At WCC Dian Mutiara, this can be seen from the lack of human resources (assistants) and the unstable finances of the institution. Meanwhile, in the police, it can be seen from the victim's complaint at the time of confiscation of evidence in the form of a handphone which is usually used for daily activities by the victim. Then the analysis of the legal substance shows that the rules regarding EBSV already exist in the Law on Electronic Transactions (UU ITE) and the Pornography Law, but more comprehensive rules are contained in the Law on Crimes against Sexual Violence (RUU TPKS). Finally, an analysis of legal culture shows that public oversight of the performance of law enforcers, especially the police, is increasing. However, some­times the community's understanding of a case is still partial, making it easy to intervene. Meanwhile, the legal culture of law enforcement officials can be seen from the lack of optimal cases in the process of resolving cases, coupled with the occasional attitude of the police, not on the side of the victims.

Abstract

Comprehending the factors that lead to public speaking anxiety is crucial; this includes gender distinction. This research was aimed at examining the levels of students' English public speaking anxiety in the context of their gender differences. This study included 63 (21 males and 42 females) English Language Education Study Program students from one of the state universities in North Sumatra. To examine this phenomenon in its natural environment, a mixing technique was used. An examination of records was utilized to collect the required data. The data was then analyzed in two distinct ways: a statistical calculation was performed on the results of 17-question student questionnaires on their level of public speaking anxiety, and a constructive analysis was performed by comparing the responses of various respondents. On average, male participants in this study reported lower levels of anxiety than female ones. The difference between 50.52 and 57.14 is substantial. “I am anxious that I will embarrass myself in front of the audience,” “I am anxious before speaking,” and “I am worried that my audience will think I am a poor speaker” are the areas where female respondents are more anxious than male. It is necessary to do more research with a bigger number and variety of respondents.

Abstract

Income inequality is a challenge in the workplace, particularly in the fisheries subsector. Women are exploited, undervalued, and have limited educational opportunities. Age, education, employment position, duration of employ­ment, and hours worked all contribute to this discrepancy. This study investigates how sociodemographic and work-related factors affect the gender wage gap in Indonesia’s fisheries subsector. 7.574 samples from the 2019 National Labour Force Survey were utilized. In this investigation, multiple linear regression analysis was employed. We find that age (p0.001), working hours (p0.001), and years worked (p0.001) have a positive and significant association with earnings. In all categories, women earn less than men on average. The discrepancy in income depending on age, hours worked, and years worked ranges between 350 and 600 thousand rupiahs. The interaction of education and job status is likewise significant (p0.02). This interaction also demonstrates the correlation between education level and the wealth gap. Inequality in income ranges from 450 to 800 thousand rupiahs for formal workers with a low level of education to a bachelor's degree, and from 450 to 550 thousand rupiahs for informal workers. For this reason, increasing education and empowering women are important factors in reducing income inequality and realizing the SDGs target to achieve decent work. Furthermore, government programs and policies at both the community and national levels need to adopt the norms, roles, and involvement of women in the fisheries subsector.

Abstract

Sexual harassment of female employees in the workplace is a pervasive problem, especially in hospitals that rely on nurses to deliver medical care through physical contact with several patients, therefore increasing their risk of sexual harassment. The purpose of this study is to examine the circumstances and experiences of sexual harassment against female hospital nurses in Jakarta, Indonesia. The research employed a qualitative, phenomenological approach, with eight informants participating in In-Depth Interviews and coding analysis. According to the subjects of the study, sexual harassment happened during work hours, making them victims. Sexual harassment can range from subtle to overt, from gestures to physical assault. The majority of perpetrators are male. While female nurses are providing medical treatment, visiting patients, or engaging in training, sexual harassment may occur. The findings point to preventative strategies such as policy development, training, and increasing public awareness of sexual harassment, as well as a coping strategy that involves assisting victims in reporting their experiences through an established grievance procedure system to reach a fair resolution.

Abstract

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are the foundation for advancing the nation’s economy. According to the mapping of MSMEs actors in Indonesia, 64.5% of total MSMEs were micro-scaled enterprises managed by women. Expanding women’s businesses positively impacts economic recovery; therefore, women’s empowerment must be appropriately implemented. This study aimed to obtain empirical data regarding women’s empowerment in the fashion sector of MSMEs in Bandung. This research used a quantitative non-experimental approach with convenience sampling and was conducted with 115 women entrepreneurs of MSMEs in the online and offline fashion sector in Bandung. The research results show that women entrepreneurs of MSMEs with good women’s empowerment can help themselves improve their per­formance in entrepreneurship to create progress for women’s MSMEs. Education is a very important factor for women to be more empowered. An annual omzet on a Microscale allows women to be empowered and direct them­selves better because they feel more competent with the risks of small-scale businesses. Women entrepreneurs must retain and expand their women’s empowerment to realise their inner potential to enhance the performance and business they are now conducting.

Abstract

Conventional interpretation of the Quran often leads to the understanding that the verses are gender biased. This study is intended to discuss the mubādalah approach used by Kongres Ulama Perempuan Indonesia (KUPI) in interpreting the verses of the Qur’an that are considered gender bias. The question is how the Qur’an can be interpreted and how it can be explained. This study is a library study, focusing entirely on the existing library data. The study uses descriptive analysis with a hermeneutic approach, a tafsir analysis that considers the context of interpretation. This study concluded that the mubādalah approach that becomes the “official approach” of KUPI is relevant for interpreting gender biased-verses of the Qur’an. It is because the traditional and conventional interpretation makes it as if the verses of the Qur’an subordinate women, maltreating women in their relationship with men. Inter­pretation of the Quranic verses considered gender biased with the mubādalah approach in the context of the KUPI struggle is an appropriate advocative interpretation model for the improvement and fairness of gender relations.

Abstract

Online gambling in Indonesia increasingly exposes women and children to financial-based violence, making them vulnerable groups. Despite the rise in online gambling, current legal policies and rehabilitation programs have failed to fully address its harmful social effects. This study analyzes the criminogenic factors that contribute to victimization among women and children and evaluates the effectiveness of criminal law policies and rehabilitation programs in safeguarding them. Through a normative legal research method, utilizing legislative analysis, criminology, and case studies, the findings reveal that existing policies are inadequate and overlook the complexity of financial violence in this context. Rehabilitation programs also tend to be less effective, focusing primarily on legal and therapeutic approaches while neglecting broader social, economic, and cultural influences. This research proposes a more comprehensive and rehabilitative policy framework that not only seeks to punish offenders but also prioritizes prevention, reducing violence recurrence, and enhancing social reintegration for victims.
