This study aims to analyze the normative provisions regarding women's inheritance rights in three legal systems applicable in Indonesia, namely Islamic law, customary law, and civil law. These three systems have different legal bases, values, and mechanisms in regulating inheritance rights, especially regarding the position and rights of women as heirs. Islamic law determines women's inheritance shares based on the provisions of the Qur'an and Al-Hadith or As Sunnah with the principle of proportionality according to socio-economic responsibilities in the family. On the other hand, customary law is highly dependent on the local kinship system, whether patrilineal, matrilineal, or bilateral, which causes great variation in granting inheritance rights to women. Meanwhile, civil law originating from the Civil Code emphasizes equality between men and women in inheritance rights, without gender differentiation. This study uses a normative legal approach with a qualitative analysis method on primary and secondary legal materials. The results of the study show that although normatively civil law and several customary law systems provide space for equality, in social practice and cultural interpretation of women in obtaining inheritance rights, harmonization between legal systems is still needed, as well as increasing legal awareness in society for women. This study also emphasizes the importance of strengthening the role of the state and law enforcement officers in implementing inheritance rights for women.

Human rights and Islam both emphasize the value of justice and well-being for all individuals, including women. However, in practice, women's rights are often hampered by patriarchal culture and conservative religious interpretations. This study aims to analyze how human rights and Islam can work in harmony in guaranteeing women's rights. Using a qualitative method based on literature study, this research identifies various factors that cause discrimination against women, such as gender bias in religious interpretations and entrenched social norms. The results show that realizing gender equality in Islam requires inclusive education, fairer reinterpretation of Islamic law, policy reforms that protect women, as well as economic empowerment and women's participation in leadership. With these steps, women can obtain their full rights without erroneous cultural and religious barriers.

This paper discusses the issue of gender equality from the perspective of Islamic family law and positive law in Indonesia. This study begins with a historical exploration of the treatment of women in the pre-Islamic era which was full of discrimination and oppression, until the arrival of Islam which brought about a major transformation towards respecting and recognizing women's rights. Furthermore, this paper reviews the comparison between the values ​​of gender equality in ideal Islamic family law with practices that are still influenced by patriarchal culture, as well as Indonesia's positive legal response to gender issues, such as through the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), the Marriage Law, and the ratification of international conventions such as CEDAW. This study also highlights the role and existence of women in the family as children, wives, and mothers, as well as the challenges faced by women in fighting for rights and equality in the domestic and public spheres. This paper emphasizes that achieving fair and balanced gender equality requires a reinterpretation of the law based on values ​​of justice and a structural commitment to empowering women in all aspects of life.

This study aims to analyze the meaning of interpersonal communication in the anxiety experience of new students of the Islamic Communication and Broadcasting Study Program. The approach used is descriptive qualitative with a phenomenological method, which focuses on students' subjective meaning of interpersonal communication experiences during the transition to college. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with eight new students who had experienced anxiety and were actively establishing communication relationships with those closest to them. The results of the study indicate that interpersonal communication is interpreted as an adaptive mechanism that helps relieve anxiety through five main elements: openness, empathy, support, positive feelings, and equality. In addition, the communication process is also influenced by the principle of social exchange, where students choose to establish communication that provides emotional comfort and avoid relationships that worsen psychological stress. Interpersonal communication has proven to be a safe space for students to build emotional resilience during the early stages of college.

This study analyzes the patterns and dynamics of income inequality across districts and municipalities in Aceh Province during the 2022–2024 period using data from the National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas) published by Statistics Indonesia (BPS). A descriptive-comparative approach was employed with the Gini Ratio as the main indicator to examine spatial variations and inequality trends between urban and rural areas. The results show that Aceh’s Gini Ratio declined from 0.296 in 2022 to 0.294 in 2024, indicating a modest improvement in income distribution. The reduction in inequality mainly occurred in rural areas, while urban regions experienced a slight increase due to the concentration of economic activities among higher-income groups. Banda Aceh and Lhokseumawe recorded the highest inequality levels, whereas Aceh Tengah and Bireuen demonstrated relatively strong income equality. Overall, Aceh remains one of the provinces with low-income inequality in Indonesia but still faces challenges of structural disparities across regions. The findings highlight the need to shift policy orientation from redistributive equality toward productivity-based equality through regional economic integration, empowerment of micro and small enterprises, and the development of inclusive economic sectors to achieve equitable and sustainable growth..

This study explores the ethical perspectives of genetic editing from two distinct frameworks: Islamic bioethics and global medical ethics. Both ethical systems emphasize the protection of human dignity and the prevention of harm, aligning with the broader goal of promoting health. However, significant differences emerge when addressing the issue of genetic editing, particularly in relation to human procreation. While global bioethics focuses on universal human rights, Islamic bioethics introduces religious principles rooted in Sharia law, such as Maqasid al-Sharia (objectives of Sharia) and Maslahah (public interest), to guide the ethical evaluation of genetic technologies. The findings reveal that while both frameworks agree on the importance of medical necessity, the treatment-enhancement distinction plays a critical role in Islamic perspectives, leading to more cautious stances on genetic modifications aimed at enhancing non-medical traits. The study also underscores the cultural and regional variations in Islamic bioethics, reflecting how different Islamic schools of thought impact fatwa decisions on genetic editing. In comparison, global bioethics aims to establish universal principles, often focusing on human rights, equality, and equity. The paper concludes by recommending more inclusive discussions between Islamic scholars and global bioethicists to bridge the gap between religious ethics and global standards. This would help ensure that genetic technologies are applied ethically, respecting both cultural values and universal human rights, and addressing the challenges posed by emerging genetic technologies.

This study explores the Islamic perspective on Human Rights (HR) through a qualitative approach based on literature review. It emphasizes that the principles of human rights are not foreign to Islamic teachings, but are inherently embedded in the values of Sharia derived from the Qur'an and Hadith. Islam upholds justice, freedom of religion, equality, the right to life, and social and economic welfare. The article also examines contemporary challenges faced by Muslim societies in implementing human rights, such as gender inequality, restrictions on religious freedom, and the marginalization of vulnerable groups, including the LGBT community. The findings reveal that the tensions between Islamic principles and international human rights standards often stem from differing normative foundations and interpretations of individual freedom. Therefore, a contextual reinterpretation (ijtihad) is necessary to ensure that Islamic values remain relevant and responsive to modern global challenges. The study concludes that, when applied wisely and aligned with universal humanitarian values, Islamic teachings hold significant potential to contribute to the development of a just, inclusive, and dignified society.

The rapid advancement and integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into diverse sectors of society have generated complex ethical and human rights challenges. Technologies involving surveillance, data collection, algorithmic decision-making, and facial recognition pose significant risks to privacy, equality, and freedom of expression. This study examines the intersection of AI and human rights through a comparative analysis of regulatory frameworks in the European Union (EU), the United States (US), and Asia. Employing a comparative legal approach, the research analyzes international and national regulatory instruments, including the EU AI Act, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and China’s Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL). Case studies of AI-related human rights violations, such as algorithmic bias and discrimination, are incorporated to illustrate real-world implications. Findings reveal substantial differences in governance approaches: the EU emphasizes a risk-based model prioritizing human rights protections, while the US and Asia adopt more fragmented or centralized strategies. The study underscores the urgent need for global regulatory harmonization to safeguard fundamental rights and promote ethical AI development. By highlighting both strengths and limitations of existing frameworks, the research contributes to ongoing debates on balancing innovation with accountability, transparency, and human rights protection in the digital era.

This study examines the universal concept of human rights as fundamental to all individuals. Human rights reflect dignity, equality, autonomy, and legal protection, and must be ensured by the state. Although broadly accepted, continuous education and public awareness—especially for marginalized groups—remain essential. In Gorontalo Province, the Ministry of Law and Human Rights’ Regional Office plays a pivotal role in responding to alleged human rights violations through its Community Communication Services Program, as regulated by Ministerial Regulation No. 23 of 2022. Using an empirical legal approach, the study gathers data through literature reviews, legal documents, and interviews with relevant stakeholders. Findings show that the Regional Office serves as a key constitutional institution promoting access to justice and upholding legal protections. Its activities include handling public complaints, forming investigative teams, and coordinating with law enforcement and legal aid bodies. Legal aid—both state-sponsored (pro deo) and volunteer-based (pro bono)—emerges as a crucial tool for promoting justice, especially for the underprivileged. The structured complaint mechanism under Ministerial Regulation No. 23 of 2022 strengthens the state’s role in ensuring equality before the law and fulfilling its constitutional obligations to protect human dignity and human rights.

Feminism is a movement that fights for equality between men and women in all aspects of life, including social, political, and cultural. As one of the most influential media producers, Disney has long been criticized for presenting female characters in traditional and passive roles. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the feminist elements found in the film and how they reflect the development of gender equality values. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with data taken directly from the 2025 live-action film Snow White. The analysis is supported by library research and based on Rosemarie Tong’s (2009) feminist theory, which categorizes feminism into eight types. The data is taken from several pictures, dialogues, monologues from Snow White (2025) movie and then analysis done contextually and theoretically. The findings show that the film most strongly reflects liberal feminism (35%), followed by radical and psychoanalytic feminism (24% each), with smaller portions of socialist, existentialist, and ecofeminism. The film presents Snow White not as a passive princess, but as a thoughtful and independent character who questions gender expectations and asserts her own values.

Gender equality in education is a fundamental pillar for sustainable development and the empowerment of women in the modern era. Although significant progress has been made in improving access to education for women in Indonesia, challenges such as gender stereotypes, early marriage, and the digital divide continue to hinder the full participation of women in education. This article explores various strategies for empowering women through education, including the integration of gender-responsive curricula, enhancement of digital literacy, and strengthening women's roles in STEM fields. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this article aims to provide in-depth insights into the efforts that can be undertaken to achieve gender equality in education in Indonesia.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have a strategic contribution to economic equality and job creation, especially in rural areas. However, limitations in mastering digital technology, especially in marketing, are still a major challenge for MSMEs in Pepelegi Village, Sidoarjo. This community service activity aims to increase the digitalization capacity of MSMEs through training and mentoring in utilizing Google Maps as a promotional media. The method used in this study is Participatory Action Research (PAR), which includes observation, interviews, training, and evaluation. The location of the activity focused on the MSME Warkop Pojok SR in Pepelegi Village, involving the active participation of local business actors. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants' knowledge and skills in creating and managing business profiles on Google Maps. This has a positive impact on business visibility and the potential for increasing income. Digitalization through Google Maps not only makes it easier for consumers to find business locations, but also provides information regarding operating hours, customer reviews, and business contacts. Thus, this activity is expected to be a model for empowering MSMEs based on digital technology that can be replicated in other areas. The sustainability of the program can be strengthened through cross-sector collaboration to support the acceleration of MSME digital transformation.

This study aims to comprehensively examine the role of women in agricultural economic development through three main focuses: women's real contribution in agricultural economic activities, structural and socio-cultural barriers that limit their participation, and empowerment strategies to realize a more inclusive agricultural economy. The background of this research stems from the reality that although women play a significant role in various aspects of agricultural production and resource management, recognition of their contribution is still structurally and culturally limited. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with a library research approach, which utilizes primary sources such as official government documents and reports of international institutions, as well as secondary sources in the form of relevant scientific literature. Data were collected through a systematic search of digital databases, then analyzed using content analysis techniques to identify key themes related to the roles, barriers and strategies for empowering women in the agricultural economy. The results show that women have concrete contributions in production activities, processing of agricultural products, and financial management of farm-based households. However, their participation is still hampered by patriarchal structures, limited access to resources (such as land, capital, and training), and social norms that tend to marginalize women's role in decision-making. Effective empowerment strategies include strengthening women's capacity through education and skills training, forming women's farmer groups, and advocating for policies that support gender equality in agricultural development. In conclusion, the role of women in the agricultural economy is not only relevant but also crucial in promoting food security and sustainable rural development. Therefore, the integration of gender perspectives in agricultural policy is an urgency that cannot be ignored.

The rise of trade in protected wildlife threatens the preservation of biodiversity in Indonesia, especially in the Aceh and North Sumatra regions. This is because punishment does not provide a deterrent effect to the perpetrators and the involvement of officials in its implementation, so that law enforcement against the trade in protected wildlife has not been felt effective in the eyes of the public. In this thesis, the author wants to know the extent of the effectiveness of law enforcement carried out by Forestry Civil Servant Investigators (PPNS) against protected wildlife trade through issues related to law enforcement, obstacles in law enforcement and efforts that have been made to overcome these obstacles. This research was conducted in Section I of the Sumatra Regional Environmental and Forestry Law Enforcement Center. The research method used is a case study with a qualitative approach. Data was collected through interviews with PPNS Forestry and related parties, as well as analysis of documents related to protected wildlife trafficking cases. The results of the study show that the effectiveness of law enforcement by PPNS Forestry has been quite effective, although it is still faced with several obstacles in its implementation. Law enforcement against the trade in protected wildlife starts from preemptive, preventive, repressive and judicial actions. Light punishment, the use of undercover buy techniques, proof of evidence, involvement of officials, facilities and infrastructure, human resources and public awareness are still factors that hinder law enforcement. Therefore, efforts have been made to overcome these obstacles by revising the law, strengthening intelligence networks, adding and increasing human resources, coordinating with related agencies and socializing to the community. The author recommends that socialization be carried out to law enforcement officials regarding the equality of perception in the implementation of Law Number 32 of 2024 and establish close cooperation with the TNI and Polri intelligence networks and make strict rules against officers involved in the trade of protected wildlife.

This article discusses citizenship status in Islamic law, focusing on case studies of Muslim minorities in non-Islamic countries, while considering the dynamics of national law and human rights. The research highlights that in Islamic law, citizenship is often associated with membership in the ummah, although modern Muslim states have adopted contemporary citizenship systems. Developments in Indonesian citizenship policies in the last five years, particularly concerning migration and the rights of foreign nationals married to Indonesian citizens, are also analyzed. However, the implementation of these policies faces challenges due to inconsistencies between national law and Islamic principles related to religious identity. The perspective of Islamic law emphasizes the safeguarding essential rights and human worth, in addition to fairness in the treatment of all individuals. The integration of muslim communities residing in western nations poses challenges in distinguishing the majority from extremist minorities. Additionally, equality, the liberty to make individual choices, and partnership are seen as key elements in shaping the societal lives of muslims across western regions. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of the interaction between national laws and Islamic principles is needed to guarantee the safeguarding of the rights of muslim minorities worldwide.

This research discusses equality before the law in Indonesia by highlighting the role of the second principle of Pancasila, “Just and civilized humanity,” as the philosophical foundation of law enforcement. Although the constitution and various policies have affirmed the principle of equality, practice on the ground still shows injustice and discrimination, especially against low-income groups and those from certain social backgrounds. This study highlights the structural and cultural challenges, as well as the weak resources and integrity of law enforcement officials, that have led to suboptimal law enforcement. In addition, this study also evaluates the effectiveness of government policies in integrating Pancasila values into the legal system and highlights the importance of policy reforms to ensure fair treatment for all citizens. The findings of this research recommend the need to strengthen the implementation of Pancasila values and supervise the implementation of the law to realize substantive justice in Indonesia.

This study aims to determine the criminal act of verbal sexual harassment from the perspective of the community in the XII hamlet, gg. Mentimun 19, Percut Sei Tuan and students of the Muhammadiyah University of North Sumatra. This study uses an empirical legal method. This study also explains the laws governing the criminal act of verbal sexual harassment with the sanctions received by the perpetrators. In this study, data was obtained that the general public aged 40 years and over considered verbal sexual harassment not a serious matter that must be followed up by law in accordance with applicable laws, while students and people aged 20-30 years considered verbal harassment as a criminal act of harassment that must be followed up with legal sanctions in accordance with applicable laws. One of the factors causing cases of sexual violence is gender inequality in society. Women are often targeted because their position is not equal to men. Thus, gender equality is not only a basic right, but can be the key to changing the dynamics of sexual violence. For this reason, important steps are needed to realize gender equality and justice as an effort to prevent sexual violence.

The United Nations is an international organization that has very important role in maintaining world peace and security. The United Nations Charter does not provide much explicit regulation regarding Veto rights. the use of the Veto rights is community, and in this research we will discuse the regulations regarding the Veto right and its various relevance in relation to the principle of sovereignty adopted by the United Nations. That basically the regulation of the principles and principle of equality of state sovereignty has been expressly regulated in article 2 paragraph (1) of the UN Charter. The provisions are the basis for carrying out the functions of the UN as an international organization, including the basis for carrying out the functions of its main organ. Therefore, this principle becomes a guide for decision makers in the UN security council until there is no longer any reason to justify the use of the Veto right.
