Abstract

Phenomena about children with disabilities in Salatiga still show that there are some problems related to the quality aspect of their lives. This study aims to examine parenting patterns, social attitudes, and role of the Social Service in improving the quality of life for children with disabilities. This research is a mixed-methods research using congruent design. The research subjects consisted of 66 parents of children with disabilities selected using the purposive sampling technique and 87 residents of Salatiga City selected using cluster sampling technique. Data was collected through interviews, surveys, and documentation, then analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The results show that parents with disabled children have a democratic parenting style, the social attitude of Salatiga City residents is good, full of empathy, and full of support; however, the Social Service Office does not yet have programs directly intended for children with disabilities in Salatiga. Research novelty is reflected by the variables and research method, which are different from previous studies.

Abstract

Sexual abuse remains a prevalent issue among disabled individuals, particularly adolescents with intellectual disabilities. Parental lack of knowledge and negative attitudes towards sexual abuse contribute to its occurrence. This study aims to investigate the impact of “Underwear Rule” training on the attitudes of parents of adolescents with intellectual disabilities towards sexual abuse prevention. Employing a pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design, the research involved 72 parents. The Wilcoxon test was utilized for analysis. The findings reveal a positive influence of “Underwear Rule” training on parents’ attitudes, enhancing their motivation to prevent sexual abuse in adolescents with intellectual disabilities. Collaboration among healthcare workers, educators, and parents is recommended to implement and integrate “Underwear Rule” training into daily activities, effectively preventing sexual abuse in this vulnerable population.

Abstract

The presence of gender equality issues in Islamic family law has already become a new challenge faced by Muslims to manifest and uphold the higher purpose of sharī’a (maqāṣid al-sharī’a). Thus, maqāṣid al-sharī’a as a theoretical framework should be able to accept adjustment depending on the circumstance. This article aims to discuss the notion of gender equality in maqāṣid al-sharī’ah perspective, which is focused on two research questions, namely what is the perspective of maqāṣid al-sharī’a on gender equality discourse, especially in Islamic marriage law, and how can the reform of Islamic marriage law in the practice of divorce support the realization of a new paradigm of maqāṣid al-sharī’a to achieve justice. Using woman-initiated divorce (cerai gugat) in recent Indonesia as a case study and incorporating a normative legal approach along with the Islamic feminism theory proposed by Amina Wadud, the article concludes that the maqāṣid al-sharī’a applied in the Muslim legal tradition demonstrates the flexibility of Islamic law in adapting to various demands and circumstances. In the context of Islamic family law in Indonesia, it can be proven by the presence of woman-initiated divorce (cerai gugat) which has never been done before. It became a manifestation of the ability of maqāṣid al-sharī’a to reconcile contemporary issues such as the notion of gender equality.

Abstract

Women and politics are inseparable but intertwined. This study aims to explore the concept and implementation of women's political representation in Bone Regency by using qualitative methods through interviews with DPRD members, institutions, and the community. Although women's participation in political parties has met the 30% quota according to the KPU, women's representation in the Regional Representative Council (DPRD) of Bone Regency is only 4 out of 45 elected members (2019-2024). The analysis shows that the implementation of women's political representation has not been maximized, influenced by structural, cultural, religious stigma, and economic factors. Local regulations do not fully reflect women's needs and rights. Proposed solutions include political education, broad access for women, increasing awareness and confidence, and building political and social networks. This research shows that a concerted effort is needed from relevant parties to improve structures, overcome cultural and religious stigma, and create economic conditions that support women in actively participating in politics.

Abstract

Gender-based sex education is increasingly crucial in schools, especially high school. Despite various studied models, gender-sensitive sex education remains unexplored. This research aims to identify a gender-sensitive sex education model at SMA Harapan Mandiri Medan, North Sumatra, using a qualitative approach. Data collection involves observation, interviews, and documentation, which is analyzed through reduction, presentation, and NVivo 12 Pro mapping. Results show the successful initiation of a comprehensive sex education model at SMA Harapan Mandiri. The model integrates into the curriculum, includes teacher training, fosters inclusivity, adopts anti-discrimination policies, promotes respect for diversity, educates on the negative impacts of teenage dating, involves parents, and offers information resources. The anticipated positive impact is that SMA Harapan Mandiri will become a hub for improved student mindsets through responsive sex education, fostering literacy in sexual differences, and promoting respect toward the opposite sex.

Abstract

East Lombok Regency, despite implementing pregnancy health programs, grapples with a persistently high pregnancy risk. This study investigates the disparity between medical and Sasak cultural perspectives on young mothers’ pregnancy risks. Qualitative case study research reveals a conflict between community sociocultural narratives and medical viewpoints. Cultural norms normalize medical narratives, shaping pre-marital reproductive arrangements, body perceptions, and idealized pregnancy concepts. Young mothers, influenced by cultural values, accept pregnancy as a collective social process within the family. The study emphasizes the impact of cultural determinism on shaping perceptions and preferences for young mothers’ pregnancy health, highlighting the need for an integrated approach that bridges medical and cultural perspectives to address and mitigate pregnancy risks effectively.

Abstract

This article delves into the escalating cases of sexual violence in Aceh and the imperative need for trauma recovery efforts. Umi Hanisah, an Acehnese female ulama and founder of Dayah Diniyah Darussalam, the sole gender justice-oriented Islamic boarding school in Aceh, is pivotal in addressing this issue. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, this research explores Umi Hanisah’s endeavors to heal the trauma of child victims of sexual violence. Data collection includes in-depth interviews, observation of the Dayah environment, documentation, and literature studies. Findings reveal Umi Hanisah’s authoritative approach in accommodating and recovering victims through a religious lens. She contends that the Islamic religious approach can emancipate victims from the chains of trauma, supplemented by Aceh’s local wisdom values as a foundation for trauma recovery, empowering victims to reintegrate into their communities.

Abstract

This study underscores the critical need for mental health intervention among commercial sex workers undergoing rehabilitation, focusing on gender issues, particularly women choosing alternative paths in this field. The psychological challenges linked to their identity as female sex workers require the identification and enhancement of their self-concept. The research evaluates the effectiveness of the Solution-focused Brief Counseling (SFBC) approach in fortifying the self-concept of women involved in commercial sex work through group counseling services. Conducted at the Andam Dewi rehabilitation center in Solok with 21 female participants, the study adopts a quasi-experimental design. Results affirm the efficacy of SFBC, highlighting its potential to improve women’s self-concept in this specific context. This study contributes to an underexplored domain, urging counselors at rehabilitation centers to embrace group counseling services and SFBC to enhance the self-concept of women engaged in commercial sex work.

Abstract

Muslims in the United States (US) face religious discrimination due to an increasingly hostile environment. Further research is needed to explore the dynamics of gender differences in terms of religious discrimination as Muslim women are usually more pessimistic about their position in society compared to men. This study explores the experiences of Indonesian Muslim women in the US facing religious discrimination using qualitative methods that focus on socio-religious and psychological perspectives. In-depth interviews are conducted in Bahasa Indonesia with purposively selected respondents who are women aged 26 and above. The results demonstrate that respondents are: 1) feeling humiliated by others, 2) feeling intimidated, 3) experiencing hateful speech, and 4) experiencing religious microaggressions. This study emphasizes the need to raise awareness and promote education to combat negative stereotypes and prejudices against Muslims, particularly Muslim women, for a more inclusive and tolerant society.

Abstract

In 1997, the Islamic University of Indonesia (UII) Yogyakarta published Qur’an Karim dan Terjemahan Artinya (QKTA). This translation significantly differs from the official version of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia and contemporary translations. Emerging during Indonesia's transition from the New Order to Reformation, QKTA played an important role, which motivates this study using Teun A. van Dijk's critical discourse analysis. This research investigates QKTA's position amidst the growing feminist discourse in Indonesia. This article specifically examines its impact on the verses translated: QS. al-Baqarah [2]: 228, QS. al-Nisā' [4]: 1, and 34, and QS. al-Nabā' [78]: 33. These verses were chosen because feminist interpreters often criticize them for their patriarchal perspective. These verses show QKTA's partiality to the feminist point of view. The findings of this article state that the social context and cognition of the translator influence the translation.  This can be seen from the translations that apply a lot of linguistic rhetoric, such as majāz, kināyah, and euphemism.
