Abstract

This study aims to understand the experiences of sexual harassment victims in accessing counseling services at higher education institutions in Samarinda. The research addresses a gap in the literature, as most previous studies have focused more on the legal, sociological, and psychological aspects of sexual harassment but have not deeply explored the experiences of victims in accessing counseling services at the university level. This qualitative phenomenological research employed the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach. The participants consisted of four sexual harassment victims from two universities, one public and one religious-based institution. The findings of this study identified three main barriers. First, a lack of information regarding the counseling services available on campus led to delays in seeking help by the victims. Second, feelings of shame prevented victims from accessing counseling services as they were reluctant to share their traumatic experiences. This sense of shame was often exacerbated by fear of being blamed or perceived as overreacting by others, causing victims to keep their experiences to themselves. Third, the fear of social and academic stigma, including concerns about negative judgment from peers and lecturers, particularly if the perpetrator was a faculty member, became a significant obstacle for victims seeking help. Some victims even expressed concerns about the impact on their academic achievements if the incident became public. The study emphasizes the importance of policies that ensure easy access and clear information about counseling services, as well as efforts to reduce stigma, to encourage victims to seek help.

Abstract

Women’s poverty in Aceh persists due to entrenched gender norms restricting their economic access and social welfare, despite the poverty alleviation efforts. Gender mainstreaming policies (GMP), initiated through Presidential Instruction No. 9/2000, remain ineffective due to weak institutional coordination, inadequate funding, and exclusion of women in planning. This qualitative study analyzes policy implementation via document reviews, observations, and interviews, revealing multidimensional challenges. Institutional fragmentation, short-term program focus, and financial constraints limit women’s empowerment. Women’s exclusion from policy planning further reduces program ownership and engagement. Field data underscore women’s undervalued economic roles in coastal and agricultural sectors. In fishing communities, women contribute to fish processing, while female coffee farmers in Bener Meriah manage harvesting and small businesses. However, restricted access to resources, credit, and decision-making stifles their potential. To address these gaps, the study advocates strengthening institutional collaboration, increasing gender-responsive budgets, and integrating women into planning and evaluation. Sustainable outcomes require prioritizing long-term strategies with robust monitoring. Enhancing resource access, financial support, and decision-making power for women is critical to reducing poverty and advancing gender equity. These reforms aim to transform policy frameworks into actionable, inclusive solutions, ensuring Aceh’s poverty alleviation efforts align with the needs and contributions of its women.

Abstract

This article aimed to understand of the practice of bacha bazi, a widespread sexual exploitation and abuse of boys in Afghanistan in the guise of performances in which boys dance as women. Guided by intersectional feminist theory, the research examined the intersecting patriarchal discourses of class, gender, power inequality that support this exploitation. The study employed humane research methods, such as document analysis, to gather and analyze data thematically from the sources studied. The study showed how vulnerable boys are exploited by powerful adult men and forced into bacha bazi in exchange for money or protection. The study attested to bacha bazi having its roots in patriarchal Afghan society where gender roles and power dynamics are rigid and boys are disenfranchised and their victimization normalized. The study cited economic despair and social inequality as inducing families to sell their sons to exploitation. The research, through intersectional feminist analysis, reveals the complex intersection of gender, power, and class that informs the practice. The research facilitated in theorizing about structural inequalities to facilitate sexual exploitation and justice and equality for all marginalized peoples in Afghanistan. The study saw that the issue requires a range of solutions from legal reform to economic assistance, through cultural change, in addressing the causes of bacha bazi and protecting vulnerable children.

Abstract

The development of the internet has provided easier access to information, entertainment, and communication. However, its use among the public has remained unstructured, particularly in supporting educational activities and positive parenting in the digital era. Various cyber risks have emerged, potentially affecting family well-being, especially in densely populated urban areas. This study aimed to describe the role and interaction between parents, families, communities, and local policies in enhancing digital literacy and family cyber resilience. This research employed a qualitative phenomenological approach with 16 respondents. Data were collected through focus group discussions and analyzed using Parson’s System Theory. The data analysis process followed the stages of open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. The validity of the data was tested through source triangulation, comparing FGD findings with in-depth interviews conducted with digital policy experts. The research showed that parents were concerned about their children's internet usage. Efforts to promote digital literacy were continuously carried out through collaboration among families, communities, government, and other stakeholders to strengthen cyber resilience in densely populated environments. The findings of this study could be utilized to support the development of effective empowerment and intervention programs to increase cyber resilience, enhance family welfare, and develop cyber resilience support systems in densely populated settlements.

Abstract

Misogyny and sexism have become prominent issues in society, particularly in the workplace and daily life. Examining the role of media narratives in shaping public perception and framing events to serve specific agendas or ideologies can offer diverse perspectives. This study conducts of discourse analysis of two media sources: the BBC World Service video "Women fight back as South Korea tries to abolish its Gender Equality Ministry" and the interview video "What Koreans Think about Misogyny in Korea" by Asian Boss. By focusing on narrative structure, language, and representations of misogyny and sexism, this research aimed to reveal how these media platforms frame the issue. Using a qualitative approach, the study analyzed and interpreted the language in these sources. By using Van Dijk's discourse analysis theory with three analytical frameworks (textual analysis, social cognition and social context) as a research tool to explore this issue through the media. These findings indicated that BBC emphasizes structural and systemic issues from a global feminist perspective, focusing on formal cases, while Asian Boss highlights personal experiences and local opinions, focusing on community attitudes. The differences in framing not only underscore the varying emphases in how each media outlet addresses misogyny and sexism but also reveal the impact of media perspectives in shaping public understanding of these issues in South Korea. This analysis suggested broader implications for gender equality policies and the ongoing discourse surrounding women’s rights in the country.

Abstract

K-Poppers were one of the groups that were present when protests regarding the Omnibus Law surfaced in 2020, especially on social media such as Twitter. K-Pop fans, otherwise known as fandom, raised the #TolakOmnibusLaw movement on social media platforms including Twitter. This study specifically discusses fangirls, or female fan groups, who dominate K-Poppers accounts in Indonesia and their activism in voicing and supporting #TolakOmnibusLaw. Fangirls are often stigmatized by society and the mass media as irrational, hysterical, and lacking the capacity to understand issues in society. This study used a sequential mixed-method strategy with two data collection methods to obtain the desired findings. Quantitative data collection using data crawling and Social Network Analysis (SNA) was necessary to identify K-Pop accounts that participated in digital activism on Twitter during the 2020 Omnibus Law protests. Subsequently, qualitative data were gathered through in-depth interviews conducted online and offline to analyze the trends of digital activism displayed by K-Pop accounts on Twitter in rejecting the Omnibus Law. Through this study, which is part of the research related to K-Poppers' digital activism in the #TolakOmnibusLaw action, we argue that the stereotype against fangirls is not proven. Through their fangirling accounts, they strategize to build awareness and solidarity among K-Pop fans and the wider public against the process and substance of the Omnibus Law that harms labor groups and other aspects of society. Their activism is based on their closeness to their conditions as workers and students who will also become workers in Indonesia.

Abstract

Qur’anic interpretation of gender equality has become an increasingly significant topic in contemporary Islamic studies, especially in the context of changing social dynamics. This article aims to analyse the different interpretations of Qur’anic verses relating to gender equality through a comparative approach between classical and modern tafsir. The study employs qualitative approach with library research method. Through this study, the author explores how classical tafsir, which is often influenced by the cultural and social norms of its time, interacts with modern tafsir that focuses more on the principles of social justice and women's rights. The classical exegeses include Tafsir al-Tabari (Ibnu Jarir al-Tabari), Tafsir al-Qurtubi (by Al-Imam Abu Abdillah Muhammad), and Tafsir Ibnu Kathir (by Imam Ibn Kathir). Meanwhile, modern exegeses include Tafsir al-Misbah (by Quraish Shihab), Tafsir al-Maraghi (by Imam Ahmad Musthafa Al-Maraghi), as well as the works of Asma Barlas and Fazlur Rahman. The article highlights the different approaches in interpreting verses such as Q.S. An-Nisa' and Al-Baqarah relating to gender roles, women's rights in marriage, and social participation. The findings of this study indicate a significant paradigm shift in modern tafsir that is more inclusive and responsive to gender issues in society, without leaving the foundation of Islamic principles. This research also offers a critical reflection on the relevance of Qur’anic interpretation in supporting gender equality in the contemporary era, as well as the challenges faced in trying to bridge classical and modern interpretations.

Abstract

This study aims to understand how Generation Z in Jakarta perceives beauty as constructed by social media, with a focus on beauty standards often shaped by homogeneous representations. These standards influence individuals' perceptions of beauty, which in turn shape their identity and self-image. This research employs Berger’s social construction theory to analyse how social media functions as a primary agent in shaping perceptions of beauty. A qualitative-descriptive approach is employed to explore the experiences and perceptions of Generation Z regarding these beauty standards. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participatory observation, and content analysis of social media. Informants were selected using purposive sampling, with a total of six people chosen as informants and actively consuming beauty content on social media. They come from diverse backgrounds to provide a more comprehensive perspective. The findings indicate that social media, particularly Instagram, plays a significant role in internalizing homogeneous beauty standards, such as fair skin and slim bodies. However, a growing resistance movement among Generation Z advocates for diversity and inclusivity in defining beauty. This study highlights the importance of critical education regarding the impact of social media on beauty perceptions and the need to introduce more diverse and unrestricted representations of beauty.

Abstract

Sexual harassment has emerged as a major concern in women's workplaces and has significant implications for female employees' performance. This study aims to assess the effect of sexual harassment on the performance of Sales Promotion Girls (SPG) by considering motivation, job stress, and job satisfaction as mediating factors. Using a survey-based quantitative method, data were collected from 260 respondents from PT. Hanjaya Mandala Sampoerna and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Smart PLS.  The findings indicate that sexual harassment significantly affects job stress, work motivation, and job satisfaction among SPG. Moreover, job stress has a positive and significant effect on both work motivation and SPG performance. Sexual harassment was found to indirectly affect SPG performance through the mediating roles of job stress and work motivation. Furthermore, job satisfaction also mediates the relationship between sexual harassment and SPG performance. This study provides valuable insights for improving employee performance, particularly for SPG who experience sexual harassment. A better understanding of its impact enables companies to implement appropriate measures to reduce job stress and enhance SPG motivation, ultimately leading to increased job satisfaction. This not only fosters a safer and more positive work environment for employees but also contributes to overall productivity and SPG performance. Additionally, companies can take concrete steps to proactively prevent and address workplace sexual harassment, ensuring both the well-being and optimal performance of their SPG employees.

Abstract

The exploitation and objectification of women are issues that develop across various aspects of life, including the digital realm. From a radical feminist perspective, the phenomenon of Video Call Sex arises due to the rapid advancement of digital technology, leading to increased exploitation of women. This practice commodifies women's bodies to fulfill men's sexual desires. This study aims to analyze the forms of exploitation and objectification experienced by women in Video Call Sex practices. A qualitative approach with a phenomenological perspective was used. Data collection techniques included interviews and participatory observations. The research subjects were women with direct experience in Video Call Sex who were willing to openly share their personal experiences. The study involved three informants, and data collection continued until no new information was found. The study’s findings reveal that: (1) Women are reduced to sexual objects controlled by men, either as clients or as request regulators. (2) There is a power imbalance between men and women, as women are in a vulnerable position in responding to client demands. These findings indicate that women in Video Call Sex practices face not only economic exploitation but also structural oppression that sustains gender inequality. The novelty of this research lies in its in-depth analysis of how digital technology reinforces the exploitation of women within a radical feminist framework and how this practice contributes to the expanding patriarchal system in the digital era.
