Promoting Gender Equality through Architecture and Technology-Based Education: An Islamic Values Approach
This paper explores the role of architecture and technology in promoting gender equality through education, framed within the context of Islamic values, to support the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Gender equality, as a crucial aspect of SDG 5, is vital for achieving broader societal development and empowerment. The study examines how architectural design and technological innovations can foster inclusive spaces and educational platforms that support gender equity in both urban and rural contexts. The research methodology involves a qualitative analysis of case studies, focusing on Islamic educational institutions, community centers, and digital platforms that integrate Islamic teachings with modern technologies. Key findings indicate that architecture, when designed with gender-responsive principles, can provide equal access to resources and opportunities, particularly for women in marginalized communities. Moreover, technology-based educational tools, rooted in Islamic values, offer flexible and accessible learning environments that break traditional barriers, promoting gender equality in the educational sphere. In conclusion, architecture and technology, aligned with Islamic principles, can play a transformative role in supporting gender equality. These tools are essential for fostering an environment that empowers both women and men, contributing to the achievement of SDGs, especially in communities where gender disparity is prominent. The integration of gender-sensitive architectural design and technological innovations has immense potential to transform educational environments into spaces of inclusivity and empowerment. By combining gender perspectives, collaborative design processes, and technological advancements, educational institutions can address systemic barriers and create environments that reflect the diverse needs of their communities.
Gender Equality Strategy through Technology-Based Islamic Education in Matrilineal Minangkabau Society to Support SDGs
Gender equality is one of the global issues that has received serious attention in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda. Achieving gender equality in Indonesia is still a problem, especially in areas with strong cultural traditions such as Minangkabau. The purpose of this study is to develop a strategy for promoting gender equality through technology-based Islamic education in the context of a matrilineal Minangkabau society in order to improve the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly the goal of gender equality. The method used was a literature study with a qualitative approach, where data were collected from various sources, such as academic journals, books and related reports. The analysis focused on identifying effective strategies to integrate technology and Islamic principles to support education in Minangkabau society. The results show that technology integration has the potential to improve the status of women in Minangkabau society, which has adopted the matrilineal system, in addition to improving women's access to education. Among the strategies discussed are the development of gender-responsive curricula, teacher training in the use of technology based on Islamic principles, and the promotion of digital literacy among women through e-learning programs. However, issues such as access to technology and a strong patriarchal culture require collaborative and contextualized efforts. It is expected that this study can provide practical guidance for policy makers and educators in Minangkabau to build a more inclusive education system that supports the SDGs.
Berkah dalam Berkhidmah sebagai Etos Kewirausahaan Santriwati dalam Meraih Kesempurnaan dan Kebermaknaan Hidup
The purpose of this study is to describe the motivation for seeking blessings through service (khidmah) among female students (santriwati), which fosters entrepreneurial ethos. This study focuses on experiences (related to integrity and competence) and the meaning of entrepreneurship for women in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) who dedicate themselves to the business sector of the pesantren. The research employs a phenomenological approach. The study subjects consist of 20 santriwati selected using key informant and purposive sampling techniques. Data analysis includes several stages: describing phenomena, horizontalization, cluster of meanings, essence description, and report writing. The results indicate that khidmah performed by santriwati in the pesantren, believed to bring blessings in life, is characterized by a balance between shalahiyyah and shalih. Shalahiyyah refers to possessing knowledge and skills, such as building networks, being courteous and polite, and responsive. Shalih refers to having moral integrity, such as sincerity, honesty, contentment (qonaah), acceptance (ridha), patience, and trust in God (tawakal). The santriwati interpret their experiences of khidmah as giving meaning and completeness to life. Through khidmah, they perceive life as meaningful for worship and seeking blessings (tabarruk). Additionally, they feel that khidmah enables them to achieve a complete life for the benefit of the pesantren and society. This sense of meaning and completeness encompasses attaining well-being and happiness in both this world and the hereafter. This research is valuable for developing career counseling and entrepreneurial psychology in the context of Indonesian culture, which remains relatively underexplored.
Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project: Boosting The Environmental Awareness in Primary School
The Strengthening the Profile of Pancasila Students (Projek Penguatan Profil Pelajar Pancasila/P5) project is an effective synergy to raise awareness about waste management. This involves integrating learning materials on the negative impacts of waste into the school curriculum, as well as providing the means to implement waste reduction and management practices in the school environment and beyond. This study aims to determine the implementation of P5 in the utilisation of plastic waste as an effort to strengthen the environmental awareness character. Observation, documentation, and interviews were used to collect data. The data that had been collected was analysed using interactive techniques. The results showed that the implementation of P5 was carried out through 4 stages, namely 1) introduction, 2) contextualisation, 3) action, and 4) reflection and follow-up. The implementation of this project goes well in strengthening the character of students to be aware of the environment, as evidenced by the production of plastic processing products, such as tablecloths, flower vases, pencil cases, chairs and tables. Further studies should consider exploring strategies to enhance community engagement and active participation within the school. Future research could also investigate the role of partnerships with external stakeholders, such as NGOs, local businesses, or environmental experts, to provide additional resources and expertise.
Women's Defense in Aceh Leadership Polemics: Ahmad At-Thayyib's Perspective on Women's Leadership Laws
This research is as a response to the polemic about the law of women's leadership in Aceh which is busy ahead of the 2024 regional head elections. It examined the reporting of serambinews.com in defence of women in response to the polemics over the prohibition of female leadership in Aceh. The purpose of the research is to examine the ideology found in serambinews.com's reporting, then the ideology found is studied based on the views of the Grand Sheikh of al-Azhar Egypt, Sheikh Ahmad at-Thayyib. This research is a critical qualitative research. The data collection techniques used are reading techniques and note-taking techniques. The data analysis technique uses Norman Fairclough's critical discourse analysis technique which consists of three dimensions, namely the text dimension, discursive practices, and socio-cultural practices. Then the results of the analysis were compared with the opinion of Sheikh Ahmad at-Thayyib who is the Grand Sheikh of al-Azhar on the law of women's leadership. Researchers found a discourse of defence of women in the news of the polemic of women's leadership in Aceh in terms of linguistics. In addition, it also found how the discourse was produced and consumed, as well as how the context behind the defence. The implications of this study highlight the role of media in shaping public perceptions and discourse on sensitive socio-religious issues, such as women's leadership. Additionally, the study emphasizes the importance of aligning media narratives with moderate religious perspectives, such as those of Sheikh Ahmad at-Thayyib, to promote balanced and progressive interpretations. This research contributes to the understanding of how critical discourse analysis can reveal deeper ideological currents in media and offers insights into the intersection of religion, gender, and media in shaping public opinion.
Historis Kebijakan Aborsi di Indonesia: Dari Undang-Undang hingga Fatwa
Abortion remains a topic of ongoing debate among religious scholars. While it is often deemed strictly prohibited, exceptions are made for valid reasons. From a legal perspective, abortion has long been associated with criminal acts. Those who perform abortions are often seen as committing crimes against humanity and engaging in extraordinary criminal behavior. In response, the government issued Government Regulation (PP) No. 28 of 2024, which, under Article 116, permits abortion for victims of sexual violence, provided there are medical emergencies that pose a threat to the safety of the rape victim. This article examines the dynamics and evolution of abortion policies in Indonesia. It employs a normative juridical research method combined with a historical approach. Primary sources analyzed include Indonesian laws and religious fatwas from organizations such as Nahdlatul Ulama, Muhammadiyah, the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), and the Indonesian Women’s Ulama Congress (KUPI). The study utilizes content analysis within a gender theory framework. This normative juridical analysis reveals that religious fatwas and state laws mutually support each other. In the 1990s, fatwas from religious institutions and state laws regarding abortion primarily blamed those who underwent the procedure. However, in the 2000s, there was a slight relaxation, allowing abortion under certain conditions, but with restrictions on gestational age, typically between 120 and 140 days. From the 2010s to the present, there has been a shift toward recognizing women as complete legal subjects, considering psychological, emotional, and preventive aspects in cases of abortion for rape victims. Fatwas and legal policies regarding abortion have increasingly aligned with the concept of maslahah (benefit or welfare), focusing on the well-being of women as victims. This study provides readers with a historical reference to abortion policies across various institutions in Indonesia. Future researchers are recommended to conduct empirical studies on abortion policies.
Women and Media: Women's Representation in Job Advertisements
he aesthetic value attached to women and their enigmatic nature represents an intriguing topic for further research. This phenomenon has its roots in a patriarchal cultural system that serves to perpetuate public curiosity regarding women and their representation. In this context, women frequently serve as objects of media representation, engaging in a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship in which the image of women supports the media's appeal and sustainability. This study employed a qualitative approach utilising the Miles and Huberman interactive model to analyse the representation of women in job advertisements. The data were collected through the social media platform Instagram, with a particular focus on job advertisements in the East Java region. The findings show that the media and women are united in a mutually beneficial relationship, wherein women serve as objects of coverage with the potential to bolster the media's existence. This relationship establishes a balanced dynamic between women and the mass media, reflecting the intricate interplay between cultural norms, societal expectations, and media practices. The implications of this study emphasize the need to critically evaluate media practices that commodify women while considering the broader cultural and societal factors that perpetuate these representations. By shedding light on this dynamic, the research highlights opportunities for media stakeholders to adopt more equitable and empowering portrayals of women in their content.
Dismantling Gender Stereotypes on 'Sexual Dysfunction': Sara Mills' View in Ricis-Ryan Divorce Case
This study aims to analyze the representation of gender in the media and examine public responses to the divorce case between Ria Ricis and Teuku Ryan regarding the issue of "sexual dysfunction" through the lens of Sara Mills' critical discourse analysis. The research employs a qualitative, descriptive approach by analyzing the issue in the divorce case of Ria Ricis and Teuku Ryan concerning "sexual dysfunction." The data collection techniques used are observation and note-taking. The data analysis techniques include data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The primary data source is a news report on the divorce case of Ria Ricis and Teuku Ryan related to the "sexual dysfunction" issue on Lesfa Channel’s YouTube video titled “Dokter Boyke Permalukan Ria Ricis Setelah Lancang Katakan Teuku Ryan Lemah Syahwat” [Dr. Boyke Embarrasses Ria Ricis After Rashly Claiming Teuku Ryan Has Sexual Dysfunction] published on May 7, 2024. Meanwhile, the secondary data sources consist of previous relevant studies. The results of this study show that media discourse about the divorce of Ria Ricis and Teuku Ryan portrays Ryan as an active subject revealing the pressures of their marriage, while Ricis is often depicted as a demanding object. This reflects patriarchal power and gender bias in public commentary, which tends to blame Ricis and support Ryan, reinforcing traditional norms regarding gender roles in society. Sara Mills' concept illustrates how media discourse can either reinforce or challenge power structures and social ideologies. Future researchers are encouraged to examine gender-related issues more thoroughly using diverse and engaging methods.
Keadilan Sosial tentang Iddah bagi Laki Laki Perspektif Mahmud Muhammad Thaha
The provisions of iddah are closely associated with women, while there are no explicit explanations in the Qur'an or Syafi’iyyah texts regarding iddah for men. This article explores iddah for men using the framework of Mahmud Muhammad Thaha’s thought. Iddah for women is considered discriminatory by the millennial generation. This study employs a normative juridical approach, which is based on legal materials focusing on primary and secondary sources. The rise of feminist movements has spurred significant resistance and demands to challenge practices perceived as discriminatory toward women. Mahmud Muhammad Thaha, a thinker known for his innovative ideas in Islam, divides Islam into two periods: the Meccan and Medinan periods. The Meccan period is characterized by a strong emphasis on human rights, egalitarianism, and social justice. In contrast, the Medinan period primarily focuses on Islamic law with a structured and sharia-oriented approach. The idea of iddah for men, viewed through the lens of Mahmud Muhammad Thaha’s egalitarian and justice-centered approach, offers a viable framework for discussion. These findings can support the reform of Islamic law, particularly in matters related to social justice, such as the iddah period for men. The Meccan values provide a foundation for formulating more inclusive and responsive legal frameworks that align with the needs of modern society. Furthermore, the government circular highlighted in this research serves as a model for introducing gender-equitable Islamic legal policies by emphasizing the psychological and social aspects of sharia regulations.
Voicing Women’s Underrepresentation in Speeches: A Framing Analysis
Despite decades of gender equality advocacy, women still face significant barriers that limit their access to influential platforms and their impact once on these platforms. Analyzing how women's speeches are framed provides valuable insight into the dynamics of their underrepresentation, helping us uncover the structural and cultural constraints that shape societal perceptions of women leaders. This paper explores how women leaders and activists frame issues of gender inequality, human rights, and women's empowerment in the various spheres of political discourses. Using five speeches of influential women (i.e., Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Angela Merkel, Malala Yousafzai, and Aung San Suu Kyi) as data, this study analyzes how framing constructs public perceptions of gender roles and influences the attitudes of society. Framing concepts coupled with rhetorical strategies by leaders can define problems, attribute the cause(s), construct moral imperatives, and put forth solutions to the systemic set of gender disparities. This analysis underlines framing as a tool that not only has symbolic and transformative power, but can also reshape the perception of women in leadership and stimulate political participation to enable societal change. Understanding these dynamics is of significance for greater inclusiveness in fostering the aspirational value of the global issue of gender inequalities.
From Women Fitrah to Space: Exploring Islamic Value on Womanhood in Architecture and Design
The challenges faced by women today, particularly in education, skill development, and protection from domestic violence (DV), underscore the need for architectural solutions that address their unique needs. This study aims to explore how Islamic perspectives on women’s roles as individuals, mothers, daughters, and educators can be integrated into the design of a Women Hub. The significance of this research lies in its potential to provide inclusive, safe, and empowering spaces for women, particularly in Kediri, a region experiencing a significant rise in domestic violence cases. The research employs a descriptive-exploratory methodology, utilizing qualitative data analysis and literature review to propose architectural solutions rooted in Islamic values. Data collection involves examining relevant cultural, social, and architectural frameworks that align with the principles of dignity, respect, and balance in Islam. The findings demonstrate that aligning spatial design with women’s intrinsic roles and needs can effectively address social inequalities, promote community engagement, and support personal and collective development. The study concludes that architecture can serve as a powerful medium for fostering women’s empowerment while maintaining harmony with Islamic principles. Practical implications of this research include the design of women-centered spaces that prioritize safety, education, and personal growth, ultimately contributing to a more equitable and supportive societal structure.
Perlawanan dan Pemulihan Identitas Perempuan dalam Media Lirik Lagu
Women often face patriarchal social constructions that influence their identity and roles in society. One significant cultural medium shaping the representation of women is song lyrics. This study explores how song lyrics serve as a medium to challenge patriarchal power and restore women's identities. Using critical discourse analysis grounded in Michel Foucault's theory, this research analyzes contemporary Madurese song lyrics reflecting themes of resistance and the reclamation of women's identities. The research method involves lyric analysis through a descriptive-analytical approach to identify resistance against patriarchal norms and the production of more independent and empowered female identities. Data were collected through documentation of relevant song lyrics, which were then analyzed using data reduction techniques and triangulation validation. The findings reveal that song lyrics not only represent the power structures that constrain women but also provide a space to voice freedom and resistance against gender stereotypes. Songs such as Kamalengan (Theft), Anyar Dedih Janda (Newly Divorced), and Selingkuh Tak Mareh (Affair Unresolved) depict women's experiences in facing stigma, inequality, and relational conflicts. These lyrics reflect a narrative resistance to exploitation and stigma while supporting identity recovery through resistance, empowerment, and self-control. Research on the impact of song lyrics on the critical awareness of listeners, particularly women, can provide further insights into the effectiveness of song lyrics as an empowerment tool. The findings of this study can serve as a basis for promoting the production of more inclusive works of art and as educational material to raise awareness of gender equality.
Women in Student Leadership: Challenges and Opportunities for Changing Campus Dynamics in the Modern Era
The role of women in various aspects of life continues to increase in today's modern era, but it is different with their participation in student leadership in the campus environment which still faces various challenges even though there are also opportunities. Patriarchal cultures, gender stereotypes, and a lack of structural support are often barriers for women to take leadership positions, especially within the campus sphere. This research aims to examine the role of women in student leadership in the campus environment, focusing on the challenges faced and opportunities that arise in the modern era. As the smallest scope with strategic prospects in shaping the next generation of leaders, student leadership reflects the social dynamics that are developing in society. However, women often face a variety of structural, cultural, and personal barriers that limit their participation in leadership positions. This study uses a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews with female students who are active in campus organizations, as well as analysis of organizational policies and culture. The results show that while challenges such as gender stereotypes, underrepresentation, and double burdens are still significant, there is a great opportunity for women to bring new perspectives, promote inclusivity, and drive positive change in campus leadership dynamics. As such, women can play an increasingly important role in shaping the future of a progressive and gender-equitable campus and an equal scope.
Critical Discourse Analysis Lens: Gender Power Relations in The Movie KKN di Desa Penari
Gender power relations have also experienced significant shifts in meaning. In contrast to the past, where gender power relations were dominated by men as the holders of power, today, women also play similar roles. Modern women have become more courageous in expressing themselves and interacting freely. This study aims to explore the representation of power relations based on gender differences found in the film KKN di Desa Penari directed by Awi Suryadi. The article discusses in detail the roles and social norms that influence gender relations in each character of the movie KKN di Desa Penari. To achieve the research objectives, this study applies Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), which allows for an in-depth understanding of the power relations experienced by each character in the film. Fairclough's CDA encompasses three levels of analysis: micro (text), meso (text production and consumption), and macro (social context). The results of the analysis reveal that gender-based power relations in this film are depicted through power dynamics in several types of relationships: (1) power relations in friendship, where power dynamics in friendships are influenced by gender; (2) power relations in romantic relationships, where the power dynamics between two individuals are influenced by their love for each other; (3) power relations in familial relationships, where power dynamics arise due to kinship ties; and (4) power relations in workplace relationships, which are also commonly found as the workplace is a place where power dynamics are visibly represented. The findings of this study highlight the complexity and significance of gender-based power dynamics in shaping social relationships, particularly in the Javanese cultural context portrayed in the film.
Peran Keluarga Terutama Ibu sebagai Madrasah Pertama dalam Pendidikan Keluarga
Family education is a very important education, especially Islamic education, where this education must be introduced early. It also functions as a basic foundation for the formation of the child's personality, in this case the role of parents as the first and main educator is needed, especially the mother. The slogan “mother is the first madrasa” represents how mother is the first figure of direct influence, who not only teaches the basic values of life, but also prepares children to understand various social, moral and emotional dimensions. This research aims to explore how mothers, as the first madrasa, provide education to children in the family context, both in the aspects of character building, attitudes, and behaviour. This study uses a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews with mothers from various socio-economic backgrounds, as well as observations of mother-child interactions at home. The results showed that mothers play an important role in teaching values such as compassion, discipline, empathy, and social skills that form the basis of children's character development. Mothers who actively provide education based on good examples and communication tend to produce children who are more independent, confident and have a positive attitude towards life. The study also found that although the role of mothers is dominant, the contribution of fathers and other family members also influences the success of education in the family. Thus, this study confirms the importance of the mother's role as the first madrasa in children's education, and provides recommendations to strengthen support for mothers in this educational role through programmes that support the dual role of mothers as caregivers and educators.
Indirectness as A Communication Style of Javanese Women in Making Offers in Public Spaces
Language usage patterns are a reflection of society and gender-based social divisions. In the modern era, the situation of woman language will differ due to the social situation. The effects of modernity and globalization, which are ever more prevalent, are felt in many facets of human existence and become more apparent over time particularly when it relates to cultural and linguistic shifts in gendered communication. This study aims to uncover how Javanese women communicate in offering their 'services' in public areas. This study highlights how commercial sex workers offer their services near Surabaya City. Data obtained from real communication when the subjects who have been offering their service. What language style applied from five subjects. This study concludes that the Javanese women speakers applied the Javanese language to different levels. While the use of Indonesian language in their communication as an alternative language for Javanese speakers to choose words or phrases in order to prevent language speech level misuse and speakers' inability to use the proper Javanese stylistic level, particularly when speaking to younger subjects. These findings emphasize the need for further exploration of the cultural and linguistic dynamics in Javanese society, particularly in professions that involve nuanced communication. This study also opens pathways for future research into the sociological and linguistic dimensions of language use in other sensitive or stigmatized professions, broadening the scope of inquiry within social humanities.
Female Resistance in Nawal El Saadawi's Zeina: Sara Mills' Critical Discourse Analysis
The novel Zeina by Nawal El Saadawi describes the social reality of Egypt, where there is injustice and discrimination for women. This research aims to find out the form of Egyptian patriarchy, the author's ideology and describe the subject-object position and author-reader position contained in Zeina's novel. This research is a descriptive qualitative research. There are two data sources, namely primary data sources in the form of Zeina's novel, and secondary data sources in the form of relevant literature and supporting research. The analysis technique used is qualitative analysis technique through three ways, namely: (1) data reduction, (2) data presentation, and (3) conclusion drawing. Data collection techniques are reading and writing techniques. The data collection is done through several stages, namely: (1) reading the novel carefully, (2) recording the contents of the novel that are considered important, (3) looking for other data relevant to the study conducted, and (4) grouping the findings. The data were analyzed descriptively using Sara Mills' Critical Discourse Analysis theory. The results of the study are the discovery of a form of patriarchy where women are treated harshly and unfairly, the author's ideology in the form of ideology in the context of fighting patriarchy through female characters who are described with their respective forms of resistance. And found 7 quotes that describe the position of the subject and object in the storytelling in Zeina's novel. In addition, it can also be seen that the position of the author and reader is placed in the storytelling using Sara Mills' critical discourse analysis. This study highlights how literature, such as Zeina, exposes patriarchal oppression and inspires resistance through feminist narratives. By analyzing subject-object dynamics, it empowers readers to challenge societal norms. Additionally, it reinforces the transformative potential of storytelling in fostering critical awareness, promoting gender equality, and encouraging broader discourse on women's empowerment in patriarchal societies.
Penguatan Hak Asasi Perempuan dan Kesetaraan Gender melalui Fatwa KUPI: Analisis Wacana Kritis
Although in terms of quantity, the number of women is equal to or even exceeds that of men, in reality, women still remain a group that frequently becomes the object of violence, whether socially, economically, or culturally. Efforts to protect women's human rights have actually been undertaken by various parties, including the government. However, in practice, these efforts are still not optimal. Moreover, synergy between governmental institutions and various organizations advocating for women’s rights has also not reached its full potential. KUPI (Kongres Ulama Perempuan Indonesia) serves as a platform for female religious scholars to come together and a space for dialogue between women who experience injustice or violence, whether in domestic or public spheres, and the ulama.” Thus, KUPI has become a significant avenue to advocate for the strengthening of women’s rights and gender equality in Indonesia through a religious perspective. This article explains how religious fatwas issued by KUPI have had an impact on strengthening women's rights and gender equality in Indonesia, something that has not been extensively undertaken by other religious organizations or institutions. Furthermore, in its religious deliberations, KUPI incorporates women's experiences as one of the reference sources, an unprecedented practice in the history of fatwa formulation within any religious institution. Using a critical discourse analysis approach, this study demonstrates that through KUPI, the existence and authority of female religious scholars are increasingly recognized by the Muslim community in Indonesia. KUPI's fatwas have also become a reference for the National Commission on Violence Against Women (Komnas Perempuan) and state institutions in shaping policies, including those related to child marriage, efforts to prevent sexual violence, and female circumcision. With an approach based on women's experiences, KUPI's fatwas have influenced state policies, including laws that strengthen the protection of women's rights and gender equality in Indonesia.
Male Resistance to Gender Bias in Professions: Analysis of Najwa Shihab's "Enaknya Jadi Laki-Laki"
In the professional field in particular, women still experience a lot of subordination discrimination and negative stereotypes. This was raised by the YouTube video content “Enaknya Jadi Laki-Laki” published on December 28, 2023 on the Najwa Shihab channel. However, in reality there are also disadvantages felt by men for the demands of their work and gender. Through a qualitative approach with discourse analysis, this research focuses on revealing men's resistant responses to the issues raised in the issue of gender equality in the professional field in the Youtube video. The study analyzed 1115 comments with 38.7% of the comments showing negative sentiments, and 12.37% of them expressing resistance to the claims discussed by the speakers. The results of the analysis show that this resistance appears in the form of arguments criticizing data that are considered assumptions, the presentation of 'lame' content between male and female speakers, and the need to understand the biological differences between men and women in certain job specifications, some comments also indicate the complexity of aspects to achieve true gender equality. This study makes an important contribution in understanding the dynamics of inter-gender resistance in the context of public media, especially in efforts to fight for better gender equality through information and communication that is educative and multi-perspective, so that gender mainstreaming efforts can create good equality for all parties.
Property Management of Chinese Chan Buddhist Monasteries: Strengthening Sustainable Trajectory of Religious Establishments
This paper undertakes a comprehensive examination of property management paradigms within the precincts of Chinese Buddhist monasteries, further elucidating individual monks' asset management practices. Drawing from historiographical and documentary resources, this research contextualizes the multifaceted evolution of monastic property ownership, acquisition, and stewardship throughout successive epochs. This analysis illuminates that such paradigms have been sculpted by an intricate confluence of factors, encompassing: dynastic decrees, socio-economic fluxes, ecclesiastical ordinances, and symbiotic interactions with the laity. We discern distinct stratagems of property management, oscillating between the collective stewardship emblematic of cohesive monastic communities and the individual asset holdings of mendicants. In the contemporary milieu, with the accelerative thrust of urbanization and China's mutable regulatory milieu, monastic conglomerates grapple with intricate juxtapositions of canonical religious tenets, exigent economic imperatives, and state apparatuses. This manifests in innovative modus operandi such as lay-partnerships, entrepreneurial ventures, and more. This scholarly endeavor augments the extant literature on ecclesiastical asset management, proffering pivotal insights into the syncretic interplay between religious confraternities and their ambient socio-economic matrices. Furthermore, discerning these intricate practices and their foundational philosophies could catalyze efficacious policy formulations, aligning with cultural conservation objectives and ensuring the sustainable trajectory of religious establishments while contributing to broader global goals such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in promoting sustainable communities, cultural preservation, and responsible resource management.
Menggali Nilai Perlindungan Anak dalam Karya Klasik untuk Pengembangan Pendidikan Modern yang Inklusif
Child protection is an integral part of educational efforts to ensure the fulfillment of children's rights and the sustainability of national development. In the context of educational sciences, the values of child protection can be found in classical works, such as Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din by Imam al-Ghazali, which highlights the importance of parental and educator responsibility in shaping children's character through moral, spiritual, and social education. This article examines the relevance of child protection concepts in classical literature to modern educational policies. This study employs a qualitative approach with a text analysis method. The focus of the research is on exploring the content of Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din by Imam al-Ghazali, with an emphasis on child protection values relevant to education. A qualitative approach was chosen as it is well-suited for uncovering the deeper meanings of moral and spiritual concepts within classical texts. The findings indicate that the principles of justice (al-‘adalah), compassion (al-rahmah), and safeguarding trust (hifz al-amanah) emphasized in classical literature can support the development of inclusive and holistic education systems in the contemporary era. The synergy between traditional values and modern approaches is deemed capable of strengthening child protection in various aspects of education. By integrating the traditional values taught by al-Ghazali into the modern education system, it is hoped that a synergy can be created to support more comprehensive child protection. This synergy allows the education system to focus not only on academic achievement but also on the holistic development of children's character. Therefore, reviving these values becomes a strategic step toward fostering a more humane and sustainable education.
Objectification of Women in Mobile Legends: A Study Under Ministerial Regulation No. 2/2024
Women's objectivity is still rampant through sensual representation in character games online. This certainly requires the right solution so that it can be minimized, as a state of law Indonesia has tried to overcome these problems by establishing Regulation of the Minister of Communication and Information Technology Number 2 of 2024 concerning Game Classification. The purpose of this study is to examine the suitability of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang game with the Regulation of the Minister of Communication and Information Number 2 of 2024 concerning game classification. The research method used is normative juridical by taking a legal approach and a case approach. The results of this study show that the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang game does not comply with the classification and requirements set out in the Regulation of the Minister of Communication and Information Number 2 of 2024 concerning game classification because the heroes in the game are described as resembling women with an impression of sensuality as depicted in the heroes Layla, Kadita, Odette, Miya, and Fanny. The phenomenon of sensual objectivity in the female hero character of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang game affects the reality of social life and the relationship between men and women. The recommendations that can be given are (1) the government through the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications must immediately block the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang game because it shows women's sensuality, (2) the government must immediately carry out strict supervision of the phenomenon of games that show women's sensuality. It needs comparative studies analyzing similar issues across different games and jurisdictions to provide a more comprehensive understanding of global trends and potential solutions. These efforts would contribute to more holistic strategies for addressing gender objectification in digital media.
