Abstract

Social media has become a crucial space for producing and disseminating social narratives, including issues of gender inequality and sexuality. TikTok is one of the most popular platforms in Indonesia, widely used by the younger generation. Although studies on gender and digital media generally focus on the representation of women in online content, there remains a limited body of research examining how patriarchal values are reproduced through users’ discursive interactions in social media comment sections. This study analyzes the representation of gender inequality in narratives of sexuality on TikTok Indonesia, focusing on netizens’ responses to content related to gender issues. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using content analysis of comments on 10 selected TikTok videos. The findings reveal three main patterns of netizen responses. First, rejection of feminism manifested through misconceptions, stereotypes, and justifications of injustice based on biological and religious arguments. Second, limited support emphasizing principles of human rights and gender equality. Third, ambivalence that nominally accepts equality while maintaining the status quo in social practice. The analysis also identified four mechanisms for reproducing inequality: traditional gender role division, double standards in evaluating sexual behavior, denial of the objectification of women, and the reinforcement of gender hierarchies through narratives of natural order. These narratives are often conveyed through casual language, humor, or religious claims that normalize gender bias. These findings underscore the importance of strengthening digital gender literacy and multistakeholder collaboration to create a more inclusive and gender-sensitive social media ecosystem.

Abstract

This study aims to develop an inclusive agricultural development model to increase the participation of marginalized women farmers and young farmers in Nagan Raya Regency. This region is one of the nation’s food baskets, however the food security index has not been optimized with the targets set by the National Food Security Agency. Inclusive agricultural research relies on synergy between local governments and local communities which has not yet been integrated or specific. Therefore this study focuses on classifying groups of women farmers and young farmers who in an inclusive manner leverage local potential to achieve sustainable development goals. Data were analyzed using an inductive qualitative approach through data reduction verification and conclusion drawing. The results of this study show that an inclusive development model can be implemented through promoting female farmers’ participation and involving young farmers in transforming local resources in Nagan Raya Regency. The implementation of inclusive agriculture embraces the principle of empowering farmers’ resources within environmentally economically and socially oriented frameworks to enhance sustainable food security. Furthermore, the inclusive development model aims to achieve a green society a green economy and inclusive growth by strengthening the participation of women farmers and young farmers working together to support local food security. The implications of this research help classify the roles of various actors in achieving development priorities in agriculturally based regions of Nagan Raya and improving the regional food security index.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse digital literacy among social media users from a gender perspective. The rapid development of communication technology, particularly the emergence of social media, has transformed human interaction from limited offline spaces into boundless online environments. On the one hand, this transformation enables individuals to connect with a wider audience and access vast amounts of information. On the other hand, it has also given rise to various issues, including violations of digital ethics, the spread of misinformation, and the presence of deviant behaviours on social media platforms. Strong digital literacy is essential to prevent the normalization of such deviations, particularly those related to gender issues in digital spaces, in order to foster a healthier online environment. Users are expected to critically evaluate misinformation, reject gender bias, and contribute to creating safe and ethical social media spaces. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method, examining social media phenomena and conducting interviews with 32 participants. The findings indicate that participants actively reject gender-related deviant content by reporting inappropriate accounts, maintaining their privacy, and critically assessing circulating content. Furthermore, this study recommends strengthening digital literacy through ethical awareness, mental health considerations, and balanced social media usage. Users are encouraged to engage with social media according to their needs, avoid excessive use, and report content containing elements of deviance, including gender-related deviations.

Abstract

This study examines the historical background of the Chinese community in Banda Aceh, the current implementation of the Family Planning (FP) program, and how the community perceives and understands the program as one of the government’s public welfare initiatives. The research employed a qualitative approach using observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation as the primary data collection techniques. Ten married participants were selected through purposive sampling because they were considered capable of providing relevant and in-depth information in terms of specific characteristics, experiences, or knowledge relevant to family planning practices within the Chinese community. The findings reveal that the Chinese community in Banda Aceh perceives family planning not merely as a method to limit births, but as a strategy for navigating familial relationships and achieving enduring well-being. Many families view FP as an investment to enhance their quality of life, especially by ensuring children's education and household economic stability. This perspective reflects cultural values that emphasize careful future planning and the continuity of family businesses. Consequently, some participants prefer long-term contraceptive methods such as implants because they are considered practical and compatible with demanding work schedules in trade and business activities. The study also reveals that reproductive decisions are influenced by religious teachings, ancestral traditions, and social environments. Buddhist and Confucian beliefs generally support responsible parenting and do not prohibit birth regulation. However, traditional expectations regarding lineage continuity, especially the preference for sons, still shape reproductive decisions among many families.

Abstract

The palm leaf craft industry in Bona Village has flourished since the 1950s, coinciding with the popularity of Kecak dance performances. This qualitative research explores women’s involvement and gender-based roles in the industry. Observations and interviews with eight informants revealed a stark division of labor: men generally operate the machines, while women dominate the manual weaving techniques. Women’s roles are crucial at every stage. In the pre-production stage, they collect raw materials. During the production process, women are responsible for washing, cutting, dyeing, and shaping the palm leaves into finished products. In the distribution stage, they distribute their products to local collectors and art markets outside the village. Although not the primary source of income for most families, this industry holds significant economic and social value, contributing to the cultural identity of Bona Village. Balinese women in Bona Village not only fulfill reproductive and socio-religious functions but also play key roles in production, possessing economic sovereignty. These findings confirm the existence of a cultural meritocracy in which women serve as social shock absorbers in the face of crises. Theoretically, this research enriches contextual feminist studies on the relationship between Balinese culture, gender relations, and the household economy. Practically, this study provides recommendations for strengthening women's bargaining power in the traditional crafts industry and recognizing their complex role as drivers of the national economy in the postmodern era.

Abstract

This study analyzes marriage practices within the merarik culture (merarik kode’) among Sasak women in Pejanggik Village, Central Lombok, using the Harvard Gender Analysis Framework and Walby’s theory of patriarchy. The study focuses on understanding how early marriage within this cultural tradition influences women’s educational experiences and gender relations in everyday life. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with purposive sampling to select participants who had experienced marriage through the merarik tradition. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving Sasak women who married at a young age as well as local stakeholders. The collected data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, including data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that women who experience merarik kode’ often live within unequal gender relations in which domestic responsibilities are assigned to them despite participation in income-generating activities. Their autonomy and access to resources are restricted, as many decisions require approval from their husbands. In addition, early marriage significantly affects women’s educational trajectories. Many women are forced to drop out of formal schooling, face difficulties in continuing equivalency education, and experience limited access to information and knowledge development. These limitations also influence their capacity in parenting and child education. This study highlights that early marriage within the merarik cultural context contributes to educational inequality and limits women’s opportunities for empowerment and social mobility. Therefore, culturally sensitive educational programs and community-based interventions are needed to increase awareness of women’s education and reduce early marriage practices.

Abstract

This study explores the obligation of biological fathers to provide financial support for children born outside marriage, focusing on the groundbreaking views of classical jurist Ibn Taimiyah and their relevance to the modern law of child rights adopted in Indonesia. Traditional fiqh generally denies all civil rights of illegitimate children, such as maintenance, inheritance, or guardianship, assigning responsibility for their welfare to the mother or the state. Ibn Taimiyah, however, challenges this consensus by proposing a recognition mechanism (istilhaq) that can establish a paternal bond under specific conditions, with which a certain kind of child support can be imposed on the biological father. Using a juridical-normative approach, this research draws on Ibn Taimiyah’s writings and classical fiqh texts as primary sources, while contemporary journals in Islamic family law and Indonesian legislation are secondary. The findings reveal that Ibn Taimiyah’s concept should be considered progressive, aligns with maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, and emphasizing the protection of children’s socio-economic rights, lineage, and welfare. His ideas resonate with modern legal developments in Indonesia, including the Constitutional Court Decision No. 46/PUU-VIII/2010 and MUI Fatwa No. 11/2012. This study argues that integrating Ibn Taimiyah’s insights can contribute to a more equitable and child-centered framework in contemporary Islamic family law.
