Abstract

The form of gender inequality between women and men outlines the existence of female gender inequality, one of which is the phenomenon of early marriage. Therefore, the aim of this research is to determine the forms of gender inequality in women who commit early marriage. The research method uses a constructivism paradigm with a qualitative descriptive research type. The participants of this study consist of women who have entered into early marriages, while the focal point of investigation lies in discerning the various manifestations of gender injustice experienced within this demographic. Informants were purposefully selected, utilizing purposive sampling techniques to ensure comprehensive representation and depth in data collection. Data collection techniques use observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis uses data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The data validity checking technique uses source triangulation and member checking. The findings of this research underscore the intricate interplay between gender injustice and entrenched cultural norms within the context of early marriage, illuminating the perpetuation of traditions and cultural practices across generations. Specifically, the study reveals pervasive forms of marginalization, subordination, stereotype reinforcement, instances of violence, and the imposition of double workloads experienced by women who engage in early marriages. Gender injustice in women from early marriage views women as having a lower status compared to men. The latest finding is that education is the single most effective weapon in fighting gender inequality and reducing the rate of early marriage.

Abstract

The desire for a white and smooth face is not only a woman's need, but has become a man's need as well. This new phenomenon is influenced by the globalization of the Korean wave, which has created contemporary cultural standards. Such as the increased need for facial skin care products among men. Therefore, this paper discusses how the development of the Korean Wave affects men's skincare needs that are provided through Instagram. It even leads to the emergence of a new hyperreality that replaces the previous cultural standard. Hyperreality is the result of postmodernism, which makes the role of media a source of new human needs. The preparation of this paper is through the netnography method and literature review. The netnography method itself is a development of ethnography that uses Internet media to find information and connect with informants. Netnography helps research to examine social phenomena that appear in the Internet world, and has special methods in interviewing and validating information data obtained from Internet media. This paper shows that Somethinc's local product is a symbol of hyperreality that shifts the special needs of one gender to a common need raised by the globalization of the Korean Wave at this time. The new standards of life brought by the media show that the media has penetrated human life. It has even become a new standard or a standard for the continuation of life.

Abstract

This article examines masculinity, gender roles, and power relations in Indonesian society through Taylor Swift’s song “The Man”. The lyrics and music video, which criticise the demands and double standards that society places on women in comparison to males, provide a framework for analysing related problems in Indonesia, a country where traditional gender roles are ingrained in the fabric of culture. The qualitative content analysis was employed to systematically evaluate the content of “The Man” within various forms of communication, such as texts, images, and videos. The analysis sheds light on the social forces that influence gender performance and the maintenance of male dominance, highlighting how Swift’s critique of gendered power inequalities may be utilised to comprehend the intricacies of masculinity and femininity in Indonesia. The article also highlights the idea of gender performance, taking into account how people in Indonesia either comply with or defy these social norms. Swift’s depiction of a society in which people would view her activities differently if she were a man is reminiscent of the experiences of numerous Indonesian women in both public and private settings. The article then concludes how these gendered expectations reinforce power relations and maintain disparities that most likely benefit men.

Abstract

The decision not to have children (also known as childfree) is a Western lifestyle that is currently being debated. The concept is regarded as unnatural, contrary to human nature, and outside of the values held by society, particularly Indonesian. From an Islamic perspective, the concept of childfree opposes the shari'ah's goals (maqasid al syari’ah) namely hifzu an-nasl (protecting of offspring). This study focused on discussing about the concept of childfree based on the perspective of Manhaj Tarjih Muhammadiyah. Three basic questions discussed were 1) the history and background of the concept of childfree, 2) the perspective of the Muhammadiyah Tarjih and Tajdid Council and 3) the concept of childfree in the perspective of Manhaj Tarjih Muhammadiyah? The method used in this research is a qualitative method using library research through several primary sources such as the book "Childfree and Happy" by Victoria Tunggono, the book of "Manhaj Tarjih Muhammadiyah" written by Syamsul Anwar, Decisions of the Tarjih National Deliberation Muhammadiyah XXV in Jakarta and other secondary sources in the form of books, books, journals, or previous research. Based on research related to the concept of childfree, then analyzed using the bayani, burhani, and irfani approaches and a collection with hierarchical assumptions, namely basic values (al-qiyām al-assiyyah), general principles (al-uṣūl al-kulliyah) and practical legal provisions (al-ahkam al-far'iyyah), it can be concluded that the concept of childfree (the decision to not have children) is not justified in Islam.

Abstract

In Banda Aceh, it is common to see children who are not yet of working age selling in cafes and at traffic lights. Their working hours exceed 3 hours a day, and the work they do can threaten safety and interfere with children’s education, which is in conflict with law number 13 concerning employment. This study aims to determine stakeholder participation in handling child labor in Banda Aceh City. Employing qualitative research methods with a descriptive framework, researchers identified multiple actions undertaken by stakeholders in addressing child labor in Banda Aceh City. First, the Banda Aceh City Social Service has the authority to provide guidance to child workers. Second, DP3AP2KB Banda Aceh City has the authority to prevent and handle violence against children. Third, the UPTD PPA Banda Aceh City has the authority to respond quickly and is psychoeducational to child victims of violence. Fourth, Banda Aceh City Satpol PP and WH have the authority to supervise, control, and safeguard child workers to maximize public order and community security. Furthermore, the challenges in handling child labor in the City of Banda Aceh are: 1) the behavior of people who easily feel pity; 2) the behavior of child workers who are used to working on the streets; 3) the limited authority of the government; 4) weak applicable laws and no special regulations regarding child labor.

Abstract

This study conducts an in-depth analysis of face-saving and face-threatening acts as depicted in selected headlines sourced from the Court and Crime Column in the Nigerian Tribune, with a specific focus on the context of marital relationships. Employing a qualitative content analysis, the research looks into the intricate elements of language and communication strategies employed by individuals within these headlines. The findings elucidated both face-saving and face-threatening acts, illuminating the many dynamics inherent in marital communication. Through careful examination, key themes emerged, encompassing a spectrum of behaviour including accusations, justifications, denials, and endeavours aimed at preserving one's reputation. By shedding light on these underlying patterns, the study underscores the crucial role of language and communication in marital relationships, offering valuable insights into the strategies individuals employ to safeguard their own dignity or challenge the integrity of their partners. Moreover, the research contributes significantly to our understanding of the complexities surrounding communication dynamics within marriages, emphasizing the profound impact of face-saving and face-threatening acts on perceptions and relationship outcomes. Ultimately, the study advocates for the adoption of effective communication strategies, emphasizing the importance of positive language choices, empathy, and understanding as fundamental pillars for fostering and sustaining healthy and harmonious marital relationships.

Abstract

The main objective of the research is to find out the risk of sexual harassment of persons with disabilities in Makassar City from the perspective of Islamic Law. This type of research is qualitative research (field research), with the research approach being theological-normative, sociological, and juridical. Primary data sources were eight subjects. The subjects were five women with disabilities, a psychologist, two social workers, and a religious figure. The secondary data is obtained through books, journal articles, government data, laws, fatwas, and research reports by utilizing libraries, online databases, and websites of related institutions. The data collection methods used are observation, interviews, documentation, and reference searches. Data processing and analysis techniques are carried out in three stages: data reduction, presentation/display, and conclusion drawing. The results of this study show, from an Islamic law perspective, that the protection of women with disabilities is supported by principles such as human dignity (al-Karāmah al-Insāniyah), equality (al-Musawah), justice (al-'Adalah), and freedom (al-Hurriyah). Islam underscores the importance of safeguarding and respecting the rights of all individuals, including those with disabilities. Islamic sanctions for sexual harassment can range from ta'zir (discretionary punishments) to had (prescribed punishments), depending on the severity of the offense. These Islamic principles align with human rights standards and provide a foundation for fostering a more equitable and secure environment for women with disabilities. The research implications include the development of an Islamic law-based protection system, raising social awareness, and establishing a support network to create a safe environment for women with disabilities.

Abstract

This article aims to explore how women utilize social media, their objectives for its use, and the content they typically engage with. Social media serves as a platform for individuals of all genders to self-actualize. However, it is noteworthy that there are minimal restrictions on women's access to social media, allowing them to explore various content at any time, potentially leading to legal issues today. This adverse impact has been evidenced in several cases and extensively discussed in numerous studies. Additionally, women's experiences of embarrassment on social media have been emphasized in their pursuit of self-actualization online. This study employs a quantitative approach utilizing a survey method to analyze the trends, attitudes, and opinions of a population through a sample examination. The study focused on a small group aged between 17 and 40, identified as active users of social media. The research sample comprised 182 individuals and was conducted between March and July 2022 in Pekanbaru. The research findings reveal that 35.7% of women utilize social media primarily to share their best photos as a form of self-actualization, while 41.2% access marketplace and engage in online shopping as their most frequent activities. Furthermore, women's self-actualization as social media users was assessed as medium, with a percentage of 35%, and their experiences of social embarrassment on social media were classified as medium as well, with a percentage of 42%.

Abstract

The phenomenon of pink tax is a gender inequality issue that discriminates women in the purchase of goods or services by producers. The objective of this research is to identify the pink tax phenomenon in Indonesia, encompassing its existence, influencing factors, and the urgency of the related issue. Additionally, this study aims to analyse the role of the government through policies regarding the emergence of the pink tax phenomenon. Policies closely associated with the pink tax include Law Number 8 of 1999 on Consumer Protection, Law Number 5 of 1999 on the Prohibition of Monopoly Practices and Unfair Business Competition, and Law Number 7 of 2014 on Trade. The research methodology employed in this study is qualitative, involving literature review, documentary analysis, and interviews. The findings of this research indicate that the pink tax exists in Indonesia, yet awareness of this issue is not evenly distributed across all layers of society. While some institutions have acknowledged the existence of this problem, there have been no concrete steps taken to reduce or address this gender-based price discrimination. Furthermore, current policies are deemed inadequate in addressing gender-based price discrimination practices and protect women’s consumer. This is attributed to the fact that gender equality elements are not fully encompassed in the existing policies.

Abstract

Sexual harassment is a significant problem in employment but is often underreported. Women are one of the most vulnerable groups to get harassment in the workplace. As well as gender inequality towards women in development, which is caused by patriarchal cultural factors, such as men are always placed above women. Sexual harassment in the work environment does not only refer to physical acts but to unwanted verbal behavior, which makes the victim feel uncomfortable. This study aims to determine the harassment that occurs in the work environment. Besides, this study also aims to show that sexual jokes during breaks, even in meetings or workspaces at a telecommunication company, are considered normal. This study used qualitative methods with five subjects. These subjects are female workers at a company in Surabaya. They were chosen based on their sexual harassment experience. The research used accidental sampling to determine the subject. This study used a semi-structured interview data collection method. This study is analyzed in the theory of power relations. The theory of power relations stands on two things: (1) the power spreads everywhere (dispersed) and cannot be localized, and (2) when there are structures and relationships between people, there is power. The result demonstrated in three founds. There are several sexual harassments that occurred in the work environment, the resistance of female workers, and the challenges they faced in carrying out their work. Sexual harassment that occurs is verbally based and disguised as a joke in the work environment.
