This study aims to analyze Legal Protection and Gender Justice for Women in the Practice of Siri Polygamy: Analysis of the Principles of Islamic Civil Law. The practice of polygamy in Indonesia often causes injustice for women, who do not receive adequate legal protection. This study analyzes the relationship between the principles of Islamic civil law and the reality faced by women in the practice of siri polygamy. Although Islamic law emphasizes justice and protection of women's rights, many women are trapped in situations of injustice due to a lack of understanding of the law and social stigma. This study uses a normative juridical method to explore the truth between legal norms and practices in the field. The results of the study indicate that minimal social support, lack of understanding of legal rights, and social stigma contribute to the injustice experienced by women. To improve legal protection and gender justice, it is recommended that there be recognition and registration of siri polygamous marriages, strengthening of legal regulations, assistance for women, and education and socialization regarding legal rights. With these steps, it is hoped that women's rights in the practice of siri polygamy can be fulfilled fairly within the framework of Islamic law and state law.

This article aims to analyze the correlation between Article 1 of Law No. 7 of 1984, which ratifies the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), and selected hadiths narrated by Imam Tirmidhi, especially in addressing issues of discrimination and gender injustice. Using a descriptive-analytical method and a normative juridical approach, this study relies on primary data sources such as national legislation and the Jami’ at-Tirmidhi hadith collection, as well as secondary data from relevant Islamic legal and scholarly literature. Data collection was conducted through literature review and analyzed qualitatively. The findings indicate that there are normative foundations and values within the hadiths that can be reinterpreted contextually and in line with maqashid al-shari’ah, supporting the principles of justice and gender equality as mandated in Indonesian positive law.  

KDRT atau domestic violence merupakan kekerasan berbasis gender yang terjadi di ranah personal. Kekerasan ini banyak terjadi dalam hubungan relasi personal, dimana pelaku adalah orang yang dikenal baik dan dekat oleh korban, misalnya tindak kekerasan yang dilakukan suami terhadap istri, ayah terhadap anak, paman terhadap keponakan, kakek terhadap cucu. Dampak bagi korban adalah mengalami sakit fisik, tekanan mental, menurunnya rasa percaya diri dan harga diri, merasa tidak berdaya, merasa ketergantungan pada suami meski telah disiksa, stres pascatrauma, depresi, bahkan keinginan untuk bunuh diri.  Pengabdian Masyarakat ini berupa edukasi kepada warga terutama kader Kesehatan tentang KDRT dan dampaknya serta upaya pencegahan dan deteksi dini KDRT di lingkungan keluarga. Kader juga harus mengsosialisasikan upaya pemerintah dalam mengatasi kasus KDRT. Kegiatan edukasi ini membantu meningkatkan pengetahuan dan kesadaran bagi warga, dan keluarga dalam penangganan terhadap kasus KDRT serta dampaknya.

A traffic accident is an unexpected road event involving a vehicle with or without other road users resulting in human casualties and/or property loss. This research is a retrospective descriptive using secondary data from visum et repertum results of patients. The research sample was analyzed using a univariate approach to determine the distribution of age, gender, occupation, location of injuries, type of injuries, number of injuries based on the type of injury, the status of road users, and how patients arrive. The results of the study obtained as many as 2984 victims alive and 210 victims died. The age group of 15–29 years is the most (49.3% for living victims and 39% for dead victims), with a male predominance. The head and neck were the most common locations for injuries (73.1% of living victims and 90.5% of deaths). Abrasions were the most type of wound (82.4% of living victims and 81.4% of deaths). In the group of road users, 59.2% were motorbike riders and 71.1% came to the third referral hospital in Padang by being referred from another hospital. The living and dead victims due to traffic accidents based on age, gender, location of injuries, and types of injuries are in the same group.

This research aims to analyze the implications of global political economy policies on women's empowerment in developing countries, especially in terms of access to economic resources, education, employment, and political participation. The research uses a literature review method by collecting and analyzing various academic references and relevant public policies to provide a comprehensive understanding of gender issues in the context of globalization. The results show that despite the existence of various affirmative policies such as women's quotas in parliament and economic programs for women, their implementation still faces various structural barriers, including patriarchal culture, limited resources, and low participation of women in decision-making. Other challenges include unequal access to education and training, and social stereotypes that hinder women's advancement. Proposed strategies include integrating gender analysis in policy formulation, increasing women's participation in strategic positions, strengthening regulations that protect women's rights, and gender-sensitive international cooperation. This research confirms the importance of a collaborative and sustainable approach involving various stakeholders to realize inclusive women's empowerment and real gender equality in developing countries.

This study aims to evaluate the existence of significant differences in the level of monthly shopping expenditure between male and female consumers. The background of this study is based on the assumption that consumption behavior is influenced by various social, psychological, and economic factors, including potential differences in behavior based on gender. The methodology used is a comparative quantitative approach with data collection through questionnaires from 42 respondents selected using purposive sampling techniques. The instruments used have undergone validity and reliability tests with results that meet the criteria. Data were analyzed using a normality test and continued with the Mann-Whitney test to determine differences in spending between respondent groups based on gender. The results of the analysis showed that there was no statistically significant difference between male and female monthly spending, although descriptively, the average ranking of male spending was higher. This finding indicates that gender is not the main factor influencing the size of monthly consumption expenditure. Therefore, marketing strategies and economic policies need to pay attention to consumer characteristics more holistically, not solely based on gender.

This journal examines the Marxist feminist approach in literature, focusing on the character Jebris in the drama anthology “Mata yang Enak Dipandang,” which is an adaptation of Ahmad Tohari’s short stories. The study explores three main aspects: societal, economic, and political, to identify Jebris’ role and representation from a Marxist feminist perspective. The analysis aims to provide deeper insights into how Marxist feminist theory is reflected in the character of Jebris and its impact on the overall narrative of the adapted literary work. The research method involves textual and social context analysis to provide a profound interpretation of Jebris’ thoughts and role in reflecting relevant gender and social issues. The findings of this research contribute to understanding the relationship between Marxist feminist theory and literature, while offering critical perspectives on gender representation in adapted literary works.

This study aims to analyze the character of Alina Suhita in the novel Hati Suhita by Khilma Anis using the Marxist feminist theory approach. The main focus of this study is to reveal how the patriarchal system and social class structure influence the position and experiences of female characters in the novel. The study uses qualitative methods with text-based content analysis techniques and a hermeneutic approach to interpret the meaning contained in the narrative. The results of the analysis show that the character Suhita experiences three main forms of oppression: stereotypes, subordination, and marginalization. These three forms reflect how women in a patriarchal society are negatively constructed, positioned lower than men, and excluded from public spaces and decision-making. However, Suhita also shows resistance to dominant structures through her intelligence, education, and active role in the Islamic boarding school. In the context of Marxist feminism, Suhita is a representation of women who experience double exploitation both as women and as part of a marginalized social class but also have the potential to be agents of change. This study emphasizes that literature can be a medium for understanding power relations in society as well as a tool for criticizing ongoing gender and economic inequality.

This study conducts a juridical analysis of the strengthening of women's civil and economic rights in Indonesian civil law, based on the 4th Astacita principle of women's empowerment. The study identifies and analyzes inequalities in women's access to civil rights, such as inheritance rights, property ownership, and social security. Although the national legal framework has recognized the principle of gender equality, its implementation still faces significant challenges due to the strong patriarchal culture and women's limited access to legal justice. Therefore, this study emphasizes the urgency of gender-responsive legal reforms and increased women's participation in the legislative process to realize substantive equality and justice.

This study analyzes the reinvention of heroism and gender identity in Disney's Mulan (1998), an animated adaptation of the Chinese mythology of Hua Mulan.  Mulan diverges from conventional storylines that exalt masculine power and martial prowess, focusing instead on themes of heroism, self-discovery, and the subversion of strict gender standards.  The film amplifies a female protagonist who defies cultural norms, critiquing traditional heroics and redefining greatness via resilience, intellect, and ethical purity.  This study utilizes qualitative textual analysis and Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey framework to examine how Mulan subverts patriarchal tropes, establishing personal sincerity and inner power as the genuine criteria of heroism.  This study examines feminist and postcolonial critiques of classical storytelling, asserting that Mulan reinterprets old myth as a modern metaphor of empowerment, demonstrating how contemporary adaptations can reclaim traditional narratives to embody progressive ideas.  The video serves as a radical act of mythopoetic resistance, presenting an alternative conception of heroism that surpasses gender and cultural limitations.

The Baiq Nuril case is a clear reflection of the political problems of criminal law in Indonesia, especially in the context of protecting victims of sexual violence and the application of the Electronic Information and Transaction Law (ITE Law). Baiq Nuril, a victim of verbal harassment by her superior, was criminalized through Article 27 paragraph (1) of the ITE Law after she recorded an obscene conversation as a form of self-protection. This research uses a normative juridical approach by analyzing relevant legal instruments and their application in the Baiq Nuril case. The results show that the use of the article contains structural bias and shows an imbalance of perspectives in the criminal justice system, which tends to ignore the position of victims as well as the social context and power relations that surround them. In addition, the article's multiple interpretations open space for criminalization of victims, especially women, instead of providing protection. This case emphasizes the importance of criminal law reform oriented towards substantive justice and in favor of victims, as well as the need to revise the ITE Law so that it does not become a tool of repression against vulnerable groups. The amnesty granted by the President to Baiq Nuril is a political corrective step, but has not touched the root of systemic problems in law enforcement that have not been in favor of victims of gender-based violence.

This study aims to identify and analyze forms of gender bias found in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) textbooks at the Senior High School (SMA) level. Using a qualitative approach with content analysis methods, grounded in a critical paradigm and gender perspective, this research found that gender representation in several teaching materials remains unequal. Gender bias in the textbooks is manifested through narratives that position men as dominant in the public sphere, while women are confined to domestic roles. The analyzed materials include topics such as pilgrimage requirements, covering the body and dressing, visiting graves, marriage guardians and witnesses, and family leadership. In these narratives, women are often portrayed as weak, in need of protection, or limited in their roles. This indicates that PAI textbooks continue to reproduce patriarchal values that may reinforce gender-based social inequalities in educational settings. The study recommends that teaching materials be revised to be more inclusive and aligned with gender equality principles as mandated by national education regulations. Thus, education can serve as a fair and equitable instrument for all students, regardless of gender. 

This study examines the implementation of restorative justice approaches in handling sexual violence cases after the enactment of Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning Sexual Violence Crimes (UU TPKS). Through a qualitative approach with empirical juridical design, the research was conducted using in-depth interviews with informants from the Legal Resource Center for Gender Justice and Human Rights (LRC-KJHAM) in Semarang and literature review. The findings reveal inconsistencies in the implementation of Article 23 of UU TPKS, which prohibits out-of-court settlements except for juvenile offenders. Law enforcement officers, particularly the police, still employ peaceful settlement approaches based on older regulations that contradict UU TPKS. This condition negatively impacts victims who often do not receive proper justice and recovery, and even experience revictimization. This research recommends that the government promptly develop more operational derivative regulations and enhance the capacity of law enforcement officers to adopt a victim-centered perspective.

This study presents a feminist analysis of the film Gone Girl (2014) through the theoretical lens of the male gaze concept proposed by Laura Mulvey. The study explores how the film deconstructs traditional patriarchal cinematic structures by repositioning the female protagonist, Amy Dunne, from an object of visual pleasure to an active subject who controls the narrative and psychological manipulation. Using qualitative content analysis methods, the study identifies key scenes and visual strategies that challenge the conventions of female representation in mainstream Hollywood cinema. The findings suggest that Gone Girl does not simply symbolically reverse gender roles, but also critically questions the mechanisms of spectatorism, representation, and power embedded in cinematic language. This study contributes to the broader discourse on gender and visual culture, by showing how contemporary cinema can be a space of resistance to normative feminine representations and patriarchal ideologies embedded in film production.

Gender-based violence against women and children is a serious problem in Indonesia that reflects the inequality of social structures and the weakness of legal implementation. This study aims to examine the extent to which the Indonesian legal system is able to provide fair, equal, and gender-responsive protection to victims of violence, as well as assess the challenges in its application. The type of research used is a normative-critical study with a Feminist Legal Theory approach. The results of the analysis show that although there are regulatory advances such as the TPKS Law and the Presidential Instruction on Gender Mainstreaming, their application is still biased, not victim-friendly, and lacks a gender perspective. In conclusion, the law in Indonesia has not fully guaranteed substantive justice for victims. Therefore, it is recommended that legal reforms based on victims' experiences, increasing the capacity of law enforcement officials, and strengthening victim service institutions to encourage inclusive and transformative justice.

In the traditional commercial banking industry, this study attempts to provide empirical data about the impact of board size and gender diversity on business performance, using intellectual capital as a moderating variable. The research population includes all companies in the conventional commercial bank sector as many as 39 companies, with purposive sampling technique resulting in 36 companies as samples. The analysis methods used include descriptive statistical analysis, classical assumption test, multiple linear regression analysis, and moderation regression analysis. Multiple linear regression results demonstrate that board size significantly and favourably affects business success, while gender diversity has no significant effect. In addition, moderation regression analysis results demonstrate that intellectual capital can fortify the relationship between board size and company performance, but does not strengthen the connection between business performance and gender diversity.

In a context where students face increasingly complex academic choices, this work proposes a recommendation system based on Bayesian networks to guide new baccalaureate holders in their university choices. Using a dataset containing variables such as secondary school section, gender, type of school, percentage obtained, age, and first-year honors, we have constructed a probabilistic model capturing the dependencies between these characteristics and the option chosen. The data is collected at the Catholic University of Bukavu, the Official University of Bukavu, and the Higher Institute of Education of Bukavu, preprocessed and then used to learn the structure via the hill-climbing algorithm with the BIC score using R's bnlearn tool. The model enables us to estimate the probability that a candidate will choose a given stream, depending on their profile. The approach has been validated using metrics such as BIC, cross-validation, and bootstrap and offers a good compromise between interpretability and predictive performance. The results highlight the potential of Bayesian networks in constructing explainable recommendation systems in the field of academic guidance. The system produces orientation probability maps for each candidate, which can be used by enrollment service advisers, as well as an ordered list of options relevant to the candidate's profile. With a remarkable performance on a test sample of precision@k=0.85, recall@k=0.61, ndcg=0.8, and Map=0.88, it constitutes an effective lever for reducing the risk of being misdirected in universities in South-Kivu, in the Democratic Republic of Congo

This study aims to analyze the interpretation of the issue of gender performativity in the two picture books,  Introducing Teddy (2016) and Julian Is A Mermaid (2018), written by Jessica Walton and Jessica Love. From the data analysis, it was found that these two picture books portray how gender performativity exists in society. Identification of social construction is also discussed in these two picture books. The persumption of the binary system is that women should align with her gender that is feminine, while men should be masculine. This process is called gender performativity of gender which was asserted by Judith Butler theory.  The result of this research reveals that the gender performativity and gender construction in the two picture books surrounded all aspects of human life. The society constructed color, appearance, traits, acts, gestures, roles, and stereotypes based on individuals’ gender category. It is also found that the characters from the two picture books were gender fluid with certain stages conforming to the performativity but also to the gender construction.

This article explores the dimensions of spiritualism and existential feminism in the short story Umi Kalsum by Djamil Suherman using a qualitative descriptive approach combined. The study focuses on interpreting symbolic and ideological elements within the text that reflect the search for life’s meaning, spiritual awareness, and the position of women within a patriarchal social structure. Data were obtained through literature review and analyzed in depth through the processes of data reduction, presentation, and interpretive reflection, with validity ensured through source triangulation and repeated readings. The findings reveal that the character Umi Kalsum represents a devout woman who lives under strict social norms, yet possesses strong spiritual and inner resilience. Spiritual values are reflected in her submissive and sincere acceptance of suffering, while existential feminism is expressed through her inner conflict and struggle for personal freedom. The protagonist’s tragic end serves as a symbolic protest against the restrictive social order imposed on women. This short story illustrates how spiritual experience and existential awareness can act as liberating forces in the face of gender-based injustice.
