Abstract

The potential of female heads of households is very important to be developed, but unfortunately they have not been able to fully participate because they still have limited power and a weak position in society. To empower them, an empowerment program for female heads of households is carried out. This research describes efforts conducted by members of the program to overcome hindrances faced in their position as female heads of household, particularly within their roles in both domestic and public spaces. This study uses a case study approach in which data were collected using in-depth interviews to eight informants including PEKKA members, officers, and corresponding household members. Participatory observations are conducted in three months, looking into PEKKA-related activities and the informants daily practices. The findings from this study reveal that through close and dialogic communication processes between the female heads of household and PEKKA officers, they can openly share their problems and receive support to solve their problems. Interpersonal communication helps the female heads of household in gaining trust and becoming role models for their families. This form of communication also enables wives to gain their husbands’ trust and render them equal partners. It is concluded that through the processes of interpersonal communication, female heads of household can position themselves as subjects that challenge the impeding patriarchal values. Interpersonal communication in the PEKKA program, both as practice and shared knowledge, is considered effective as a means to empower female heads of household. Keywords: Interpersonal communication process, female heads of household, social roles, empowerment program, PEKKA programme.
人际沟通在印尼Cianjur女性户主赋权中的作用
开发女性户主的潜力是非常重要的,但不幸的是,她们没有能够充分参与,因为她们的权力仍然有限,在社会中的地位也很弱。为了增强她们的权能,开展了一项女性户主权能方案。这项研究描述了该方案成员为克服她们作为女性户主所面临的障碍所做的努力,特别是在她们在家庭和公共场所的角色中所面临的障碍。本研究采用个案研究的方法,通过深度访谈收集8名举报人的数据,包括PEKKA成员、官员和相应的家庭成员。参与性观察在三个月内进行,调查与pekka有关的活动和举报人的日常做法。本研究结果显示,透过女性户主与PEKKA官员之间的密切对话沟通过程,她们可以公开分享自己的问题,并获得解决问题的支持。人际交往有助于女性户主获得信任,并成为家庭的榜样。这种沟通方式也使妻子获得丈夫的信任,使他们成为平等的伙伴。结论是,通过人际交往的过程,女性户主可以将自己定位为挑战父权价值观的主体。PEKKA项目中的人际沟通,作为实践和知识共享,被认为是增强女性户主权能的有效手段。关键词:人际沟通过程,女性户主,社会角色,赋权方案,PEKKA方案。
