According to BPS data, 195,380 people in West Sumatra Province (20.5 percent) became NEET in 2020. Nationally, West Sumatra's NEET rate is ranked the 13th highest. This study aims to determine the general description and determinants that cause a person to have the opportunity to become a NEET in West Sumatra using Sakernas data in 2020. The analysis method used is descriptive statistics and inferential statistics with a binary logistic regression model. The results showed that, with a 99 percent confidence level, the variables that significantly affect a person's status as NEET are age, disability, marital status, education, skills, work experience, education of the head of the household, number of children, presence of toddlers or elderly, presence of working household members, and the perceived impact of COVID-19. People with disabilities are six times more at risk of becoming NEET than those without disabilities. Meanwhile, gender status and location of residence do not affect a person's status as a NEET. In contrast to other provinces where women are more likely to become NEET, West Sumatera's unique matrilineal system means that gender has no bearing on a person's NEET status.","PeriodicalId":52683,"journal":{"name":"Humanisma Journal of Gender Studies","volume":"433 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78770340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The existence of vulnerability to women as victims of criminal acts of sexual violence is caused by several factors, such as the occurrence of power relations in the pesantren environment. Therefore, this paper aims to explore the construction of sexuality, social, knowledge, and power relations that have an important influence on the persistence of patriarchal discourse in society, especially in religious education institutions or Islamic boarding schools. In analyzing the problems in this study, the author uses Michel Foucault's theory of power relations with the literature study data search method. The results show that asymmetric power relations are formed and abused to carry out various acts of sexual violence that are controlled under various pretexts of the principle of obedience that must be carried out by a santri against his kiai, gus, or ustaz. In addition, various forms of religious norms, stereotypes, and stigmatization that exist also perpetuate the power of knowledge that is used as a tool for sexual harassment in Islamic boarding schools. For this reason, various efforts are needed to prevent acts of sexual violence, such as the existence of sexual education in the pesantren curriculum, the post for complaints of sexual violence, and the role of national and regional governments to oversee the case. In this case, the ratification of the TPKS Law can also provide fresh air to ensnare perpetrators of sexual violence in Islamic boarding schools.","PeriodicalId":52683,"journal":{"name":"Humanisma Journal of Gender Studies","volume":"159 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86396924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It addresses topics including sociocultural factors, the strongly ingrained patriarchal system, the effects of war and violence, the issues associated with environmental disasters, etc. Thus, exploring this novel from an ecofeminism perspective will show how the writer addressed gender injustice, environmental crises, and various types of dominance and exploitation rooted in their societies. To extract relevant data from the novel, a close reading was done. Then, a textual analysis was employed to analyze the extracted texts. Therefore, based on the analysis made, the novel significantly portrays the deep-rooted patriarchal system in Somalia. Women and girls are especially vulnerable to both domestic and public abuse. The novel also demonstrates that continued war and conflict, and drought have a direct and indirect impact on women, children, farmers, animals, and the natural environment. It also shows that war and instability create a good situation for those military officials and members to subjugate women and control vast amounts of fertile land for their own personal gain by displacing poor farmers. Furthermore, the novel has portrayed discrimination based on clan and class differences in its impact on women and other subordinate groups. On the other hand, it portrays Idil, the main character, resisting all these differences and giving value to all humans, animals, and the natural environment, including the land. Finally, the author has put all these unprivileged groups together: women, children, animals, farmers, and the natural environment, including the land, in one category to show how they are mistreated and exploited simultaneously by powerful men. ","PeriodicalId":52683,"journal":{"name":"Humanisma Journal of Gender Studies","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86407185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But ‘men and masculinities’ as research attention is relatively underdeveloped in Bangladesh. This article provides an overview of the current studies on ‘men and masculinities’ in Bangladesh. Using Pub Med and Google Scholar databases, 37 closely relevant full-text documents were reviewed. This review uncovers that the ideal/hegemonic version of Bangladeshi masculinity is predominantly constructed/epitomized, amongst others, as being the provider, powerful, physically strong, good sexual performer, and having the ability to control wife. Across studies, the discourses, narratives, and practices of various masculinities in Bangladesh are expressed in the context of religion, migration, sexuality, fatherhood, suicide, violence, women empowerment, sports, and marginality. In some cases, the ideal/hegemonic version of Bangladeshi masculinity encounters serious tensions, ambiguities, resistances, and contestations. Alternative masculine discourses and narratives which reject and resist hegemonic masculine ideals and practices were also noted.

This research uses the library research method, and the first and primary source is Tafsir al-Misbah. Operationally, the researchers readvarious literature written by scholars, both East and West, on the concept of gender from the perspective of feminism. Then, the researchers read the Tafsir al-Misbah on the same theme. Does feminist thought influence Quraish Shihab's interpretation or not? This research finds that according to Quraish Shihab, the issue of gender equality in the Qur'an must be understood proportionally, unlike gender practitioners who interpret the Qur'an excessively and seem to impose their will. Quraish Shihab argues that men and women are naturally different both physically and psychologically. Both also have equality in terms of humanity and rights. Women have advantages that men do not have and vice versa. Both need each other.Kajian ini mengeksplorasi interpretasi Quraish Shihab terhadap isu-isu kesetaraan gender, seperti kesetaraan dalam penciptaan, perkawinan, kenabian, peran perempuan di dunia publik, dan lain-lain. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kepustakaan, dan sumber pertama dan utama adalah Tafsir al-Misbah. Secara operasional, peneliti membaca berbagai literatur yang ditulis oleh para sarjana, baik Timur maupun Barat, tentang konsep gender dari perspektif feminisme. Kemudian peneliti membacakan Tafsir al-Misbah dengan tema yang sama. Apakah pemikiran feminis mempengaruhi penafsiran Quraish Shihab atau tidak? Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa menurut Quraish Shihab, persoalan kesetaraan gender dalam Al-Qur'an harus dipahami secara proporsional, tidak seperti praktisi gender yang menafsirkan Al-Qur'an secara berlebihan dan terkesan memaksakan kehendaknya. Quraish Shihab berpendapat bahwa laki-laki dan perempuan secara alamiah berbeda baik secara fisik maupun psikis. Keduanya juga memiliki kesetaraan dalam hal kemanusiaan dan hak. Wanita memiliki kelebihan yang tidak dimiliki pria dan sebaliknya. Keduanya saling membutuhkan.","PeriodicalId":52683,"journal":{"name":"Humanisma Journal of Gender Studies","volume":"112 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77246290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is limited evidence on whether access to and utilization of WASH facilities have contributed to the empowerment of women. This study aimed to understand the empowerment effect of women’s access to hygiene and utilization status in selected rural areas of Gozamin and Machakel districts in the East Gojjam Zone, Ethiopia. The analyses were conducted based on responses from 325 married women selected through a multi-stage cluster sampling technique. Gologit2 was used to estimate the correlation between women’s access to hygiene and utilization level and their empowerment status. The gologit2 estimation identified hygiene utilization to have a statistically significant association with women empowerment in terms of self-esteem, household decision-making, and participation in rural health extension activities. A woman with a high hygiene utilization level was 2.5 times more likely to be empowered than a woman with low hygiene utilization level was. However, no statistically significant correlation was found between women’s access to hygiene and their empowerment status. It showed that the mere presence of hygiene facilities did not empower women unless these were actually utilized. Therefore, the researcher recommended that the government strengthen its work to promote and monitor women’s hygiene utilization in addition to the availability of hygiene facilities in the household. Pemberdayaan telah menjadi bagian komponen umum dari air, sanitasi, dan kebersihan (WASH).

The research presented how Karo women's experiences of breastfeeding are influenced by three main institutional structures: the state, religion, and ethnic tradition. This study identified three essential points related to breastfeeding practices in Karo lands:  First, Karo mothers in the breastfeeding practice become an agency in negotiating the practical and discursive dimensions of breastfeeding in relation to the state and the church. Second, it is related to Karo culture in which mothers have a special treatment in Karo community, mostly because they are breastfeeding. Third, it is related to the continued influence of Karo culture in which the breastfeeding practice is influenced by the central figure of Karo community, i.e. the grandmother. This research provided a new knowledge about ethnic women’s experiences in the breastfeeding practice. Further, the research needs to be enriched with the experiences of voiceless women in breastfeeding practices.Studi ini bertujuan untuk memahami praktik menyusui para ibu di Tanah Karo, Sumatera Utara, Indonesia.

This is qualitative research that utilized library sources to collect information and data through various resources such as books, documents, historical books, and webistes dated back from 1970s to 2000s in Indonesia and Thailand. Although there are similarities in development programs to address women's role and position before democratization in Indonesia and Thailand as both of them mainly focused on “practical gender interests”. Interestingly, this paper reveals that during the democratic transition period, Indonesian women’s role and position in politics are one step ahead. This is due to the political stability, persistent commitment of the government to the gender equality agenda, and growing support from progressive Muslim leaders.  In contrast, political turbulence due to often military coups which result in the government’s slow performance for women’s advancement combined with less support from Buddhist leaders slowed the progress of Thailand women. This paper highlights the important role of the government policy on gender equality for women’s advancement, political stability, and the role of the majority religion (Islam in Indonesia and Theravada Buddhism in Thailand) to support women's role and position in politics.Tulisan ini mengkaji aspek sejarah, budaya, politik, dan sosial perempuan Indonesia dan Thailand untuk memahami perkembangan peran dan posisi perempuan di kedua negara, terutama pada masa transisi demokrasi.

Menariknya, tulisan ini mengungkapkan bahwa selama masa transisi demokrasi peran dan posisi perempuan Indonesia dalam politik selangkah lebih maju. Hal ini disebabkan oleh stabilitas politik, komitmen pemerintah yang gigih terhadap agenda kesetaraan gender dan dukungan yang semakin besar dari para pemimpin Muslim progresif.
