Abstract

The continuation of land conflicts has ecological, economic, and social implications. This has motivated women survivors of conflict to organize movements. This study aims to explore the strategies, patterns, and forms of the movement and its meaning in relation to ecofeminism. This research uses qualitative methods. The results of the study show that, first, the women's movement is a reformative movement. Second, the movement's strategies involve protests and framing, mobilizing solidarity through religious activities, and environmental empowerment. These strategies affirm the value of ecofeminism in movements organized by local women. This study concludes that the movement of women survivors of land conflict reflects the ecofeminist movement, by voicing justice at the local level as well as an effort to deconstruct the legacy of agrarian colonialism, which is structurally unequal and gender biased. This study contributes to the study of ecofeminism in Indonesia by enriching the agrarian-based conceptual understanding and experiences of local women's movements.

Abstract

Sexual violence is a serious human rights and public health issue because rape survivors face a high risk of unwanted pregnancy. Emergency contraception (EC) is recognized internationally as an essential health service that states are obliged to prov ide. This study examines Indonesia’s compliance with international human rights obligations regarding EC access for rape survivors and identifies gaps in the national legal framework. Using a normative legal approach, the research analyzes Indonesian regulations alongside international human rights standards. The findings show a gap between legal commitments and practical implementation. Although Indonesian laws recognize survivors’ healthcare rights, EC is not explicitly mandated, leading to inconsistent access, stigma, bureaucratic barriers, limited facilities, and inadequate gender-sensitive training for healthcare workers. EC access is therefore a fundamental human rights obligation requiring stronger legal protections.

Abstract

Violence against pregnant women has serious physical, psychological, and social consequences for both mothers and their unborn children. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2024) reports that one in three women experience violence, yet many cases remain undetected because of reporting barriers, stigma, and limited screening methods. This study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with violence against pregnant women by utilizing QR Code technology as a secure survey tool in the working area of the Yogyakarta City Health Office. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 463 pregnant women using a validated and reliable questionnaire. The prevalence of violence was 36.3%, with psychological violence identified as the most common form. Logistic regression analysis showed that young maternal age (OR = 2.11; p = 0.010), low income (OR = 1.79; p = 0.015), unwanted pregnancy (OR = 2.69; p < 0.001), and a history of previous violence (OR = 4.05; p < 0.001) were significant predictors. Strengthening routine screening and community-based prevention programs is recommended.

Abstract

Women undergo significant identity changes during the transition to motherhood, which is often culturally viewed as the pinnacle of a woman’s achievements. This study examines the perspectives presented on the Instagram account @mubadalah.id regarding motherhood, mental health, and Baby Blues Syndrome (BBS) using Machin and Mayr’s multimodal content analysis and Crenshaw’s intersectional feminism. The results of the analysis show that the text positions women as the primary actors through word choice, overlexicalization, and structural opposition that highlight the causes and experiences of BBS. Visual analysis reveals a dominance of representations of domestic spaces associated with motherhood. The intersectional approach reveals that BBS is related to identity transitions, parental responsibilities, and various forms of multidimensional oppression. Support from fellow mothers is presented as an inclusive solution. Nevertheless, the representation of the challenges of motherhood remains limited to the domestic sphere. This study contributes to research on language, media, and maternal mental health, while also enriching the understanding of the Islamic perspective on this issue.

Abstract

The 2024 Indonesian General Election saw a surge of “Mompreneur-Politicians”- female candidates who leveraged their micro-entrepreneurial background to boost their electoral appeal. This study employs a netnographic analysis of TikTok and Instagram to explore how they operate within the digital attention economy. Drawing upon Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of capital conversion and Deniz Kandiyoti’s concept of patriarchal bargaining, it argues that the Mompreneur identity converts commercial credibility into political trust. The findings suggest a “algorithmic campaigning” approach that combines soft-sell business stories with political messaging, which leads to increased audience engagement in comparison to traditional campaigning. This strategy offers women an alternative path outside of dynastic politics, but at the same time it reproduces patriarchal norms by legitimating political ambition through domesticity and service, and it commodifies democratic citizenship through increasingly clientelist-consumerist relations between voters and politicians.

Abstract

Early marriage is a significant social issue in Indonesia, particularly influenced by cultural expectations, family dynamics, and gender norms affecting young women. This study focuses on the Kraksaan region of Probolinggo, East Java, which the Madurese predominantly inhabit. A qualitative approach reveals that early marriage results from both parental decisions and young women’s aspirations, suggesting a reciprocal relationship between their willingness to marry young and parents’ perceived responsibilities in facilitating these unions. The normalization of early marriage within the social environment portrays post-marriage life as simple and appealing, contributing to its evolution into a generational pattern. To address this issue, the study calls for the Probolinggo Government to enhance gender mainstreaming policies aimed at promoting gender equality, dismantling harmful stereotypes, and alleviating the long-term negative impacts of early marriage.

Abstract

Gender-based social justice and Islamic values are important foundations for inclusive and equitable regional development. This study aims to analyze the policies of the North Luwu Regency Government, South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, under the leadership of Regent Andi Abdullah Rahim in promoting gender-based social justice through the Women and Child-Friendly Village (Desa Ramah Perempuan dan Peduli Anak - DRPPA) program in Malimbu Village, Sabbang District. Using a qualitative approach and case study methodology, data were collected through interviews, field observations, and analysis of local policy documents. The findings indicate that the DRPPA policy integrates Rawlsian social justice (specifically the principle of difference) with Islamic values such as ‘adl (justice), musawah (equality), and raḥmah (compassion). This program has improved women’s access to economic empowerment, social participation, and decision-making. Its effectiveness is supported by trans-formational leadership, collaboration, and policy commitment. This study shows that the DRPPA model can serve as a practical guide for gender-responsive and inclusive regional development policies.

Abstract

Potential disaster threats that endanger students’ safety require an inclusive, gender-responsive, and protective approach to disaster education for all members of the educational community. This study aims to identify the challenges of implementing the gender-based Safe School Disaster Unit (Satuan Pendidikan Aman Bencana/SPAB) program in Muhammadiyah schools located in disaster-prone areas in Sukoharjo Regency. The focus of the study was directed at female students’ perceptions of school readiness and responsiveness in implementing gender-inclusive SPAB principles. A total of 238 female students became respondents in this study. The method used was a quantitative approach with Relative Importance Index (RII) analysis to determine the priority of the challenges faced. The results showed that the main challenges in both schools included infrastructure aspects such as safe building design, availability of emergency facilities, and lack of routine renovations. These findings emphasize the importance of integrating a gender approach in developing SPAB policies and practices to create a safe, resilient, and inclusive learning environment for all groups, especially female students.
