2024-07-17T06:53:54+00:00

This research explores the strategic role of female teachers in encouraging female students to take leadership roles and participate actively in school. Although female students often face barriers such as gender stereotypes, social pressure, and lack of support, female teachers have the potential to overcome these challenges through a variety of strategies. This study highlights how female teachers can be inspirational role models, create inclusive learning environments, and provide positive and constructive feedback. In addition, through the integration of gender equality education in the curriculum, class discussions, seminars, mentoring programs, and the provision of educational resources, female teachers can increase female students' awareness and understanding of their rights and the importance of gender equality. The research method used in this research is library research with an approach that involves collecting and analysing information from various existing written sources. The results showed that support and guidance from female teachers not only increased female students' self-confidence and motivation but also equipped them with leadership skills that are important for future success. Thus, this research emphasises the important role of female teachers in empowering women in the educational environment, as well as their contribution to creating a more just and equal society.

Relationship Patterns of Extremist Convicted Husbands and Wives in Indonesia

2024-08-06T08:02:17+00:00

This paper examines the relationship patterns of extremist married couples in Indonesia. The analysis was carried out using the descriptive analysis method on the data collected through literature searches by utilising previous research reports from certain agencies and mass media reports related to convicted extremist couples in Indonesia. The results showed that there were two patterns of relationships formed between husband-and-wife terrorist couples. In the early phase of pre-ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) women, the wife played more of a role as a follower of her husband (own property), while in the next phase (ISIS Cluster), there was a shift in the relationship between husband and wife terrorist couples, where the relationship that occurs is senior-junior partner; the wife is not just a follower but rather actively and independently in making decisions to become part of extremists to terrorists, both as seniors and juniors from their husbands. This shows the changing role of women in acts of terror, in line with changes in the husband-wife relationship of extremist couples. These phenomena can influence each other. The independence that women have begun to show in their involvement in the extremist world requires the state, apparatus, and society to see women from a different perspective. Women are not always the victims of extremist acts in the family.

The Face of Women in Cases of Domestic Violence in Indonesia According to the Ethics of the Levinasian

2024-04-22T04:52:55+00:00

This article focuses on the face of women in Levinasian face ethics. The author raises issues related to the increasing phenomenon of violence against women in Indonesia. This fact shows that women in Indonesia are still neglected. According to Levinasian face ethics, this paper intends to criticize the problems that occur from a philosophical point of view. The method of discussion of this paper is a critical analysis of cases of violence against women in the household in the light of Levinasian face ethics. Forms of violence against women in Indonesia are strongly influenced by a patriarchal culture that places the position and status of men above women. This cultural model opens up space for male superiority over women. The concept of Levinasian face ethics is an effective tool in minimizing acts of violence against women in the household. The author arrives at the finding that the root of the problem behind the rampant cases of domestic violence in Indonesia is the failure to understand the existence of women and weak law enforcement. Levinas' ethics of responsibility provide new treasures for understanding Indonesian society, namely that the existence of women is part of everyone's responsibility. A woman's face is how "she" shows herself. I came to the finding that the presence of women in the order of living together demands my responsibility, which is none other than respect for her. It is a form of engagement for the well-being and peaceful lives of others.

Recentering Gender, Transnationalism and War: South Indian Nurses' Experiences in the 2014 Iraq War

and destination countries. This paper explores how the Iraq War (2014) transformed the everyday lives of nurses from Kerala, South India, highlighting the intersection of gender, migration, and violent conflict. Employing a feminist narrative analysis, the study examines in-depth interviews with rescued nurses, their families, and experts involved in the evacuation process. Data was collected through virtual platforms and in-person meetings. The findings reveal that while media narratives often sensationalized the violence, the nurses’ experiences presented nuanced realities of resilience and disruption. Migration, driven by aspirations for a better standard of living, has redefined the perception of nursing in Kerala, challenging traditional gender roles. However, the violent conflict disrupted their professional and personal trajectories, exposing vulnerabilities in transnational support systems. The research also evaluates the Government of India’s evacuation and rehabilitation strategies, identifying gaps in addressing the long-term impacts on these women and their families. By situating these experiences within the framework of the 16th Sustainable Development Goal (promoting peaceful and inclusive societies), this study underscores the urgency of integrating gender-sensitive approaches in conflict-driven migration policies. It contributes to broader debates on South Asian women’s migration and the gendered dimensions of violent conflict.

Pengalaman migrasi transnasional perempuan dibentuk oleh faktor sosial-budaya di negara asal dan negara tujuan. Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi bagaimana Perang Irak (2014) mengubah kehidupan sehari-hari para perawat dari Kerala, India Selatan, dengan menyoroti persinggungan antara gender, migrasi, dan konflik kekerasan. Dengan menggunakan analisis naratif feminis, penelitian ini mengkaji wawancara mendalam dengan para perawat yang diselamatkan, keluarga mereka, dan para ahli yang terlibat dalam proses evakuasi. Data dikumpulkan melalui platform virtual dan pertemuan langsung. Temuan penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa meskipun narasi media sering kali menyoroti kekerasan yang terjadi, pengalaman para perawat menunjukkan realitas yang bernuansa ketahanan dan gangguan. Migrasi, yang didorong oleh aspirasi untuk mendapatkan standar hidup yang lebih baik, telah mengubah persepsi tentang keperawatan di Kerala, menantang peran gender tradisional. Namun, konflik kekerasan tersebut mengganggu perjalanan profesional dan pribadi mereka, memperlihatkan kerentanan dalam sistem dukungan transnasional. Penelitian ini juga mengevaluasi strategi evakuasi dan rehabilitasi Pemerintah India, mengidentifikasi kesenjangan dalam menangani dampak jangka panjang terhadap para perempuan ini dan keluarga mereka. Dengan menempatkan pengalaman-pengalaman ini dalam kerangka Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan ke-16 (mempromosikan masyarakat yang damai dan inklusif), penelitian ini menggarisbawahi pentingnya mengintegrasikan pendekatan yang peka terhadap gender dalam kebijakan-kebijakan migrasi yang dipicu oleh konflik. Studi ini berkontribusi pada perdebatan yang lebih luas tentang migrasi perempuan Asia Selatan dan dimensi gender dari konflik kekerasan.
