The deforestation rate in Indonesia is rising annually due to a number of factors, including decentralization and illegal land conversion. Kalimantan, known as the \"lungs of the world,\" is the most impacted area, accounting for 51% of total tree cover loss between 2001 and 2022. This situation is alarming as it undermines the sustainability of the flora and fauna ecosystem and directly affects global warming. The government has intensified its efforts to prevent and manage forest fires, working in collaboration with businesses and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) like Greenpeace to reduce the risk of forest damage. In addition to these efforts, a protection initiative by a group of women in Ketapang, West Kalimantan, has gained public attention. Known as The Power of Mama, this group, as the one most affected by forest fires, undertakes heroic effortsto stop forest destruction. This research aims to examine the impact of The Power of Mama on forest degradation and fire management in Ketapang, West Kalimantan. Using a nonviolence approach that emphasizes alternative strategies and tactics leading away from violence, this study demonstrates the long-term positive impact of The Power of Mama through patrols, outreach, counselling, and third-party intervention in managing forest damage and fires. Furthermore,using qualitative methods and focusing on secondary data collection, this research reveals several challenges encountered by The Power of Mama in implementing its actions. Despite these challenges, The Power of Mama's nonviolent strategies and efforts have achieved widespread recognition and have positively impacted sustainability. This is particularly evident in the recognition that women are not only victims of environmental degradation but also play a significant role in environmental protection.\u0000Keywords: Non-violence; The Power of Mama; forest destruction; forest fires; women community","PeriodicalId":53014,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Ilmiah Hubungan Internasional","volume":"71 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141807999","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}

During the post-COVID-19 pandemic, in the period 2022-2023 Indonesia received appreciation from the international community regarding the successful organization of international forums including the G-20. Indonesia's attitude is considered to remain neutral and maximize Indonesia's function as a middle-power at the level of multilateralism, amid geopolitical conflicts such as the Ukraine-Russia conflict and regional instability in the Middle East. But on the other hand, there are other issues in the realm of low politics, including the issue of climate change and women's vulnerability. As a region with a long coastline, it has a high potential risk as a chain effect of climate change. In addition, the gender disparity that is still quite high in this region is one of the factors that make women vulnerable to climate change issues, such as vulnerability in the labor, health and gender-based violence sectors. This paper focuses on seeing the extent to which Indonesia's role as chair of ASEAN in 2023 advocates the issue of climate change in a gender framework. The concept of Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) which focuses on women's participation in the public sector and policy initiation is used as a framework. The expected results of this study can show the relationship between environmental issues and women's vulnerability and the imbalance between women's participation in the public sector and policy initiation. \u0000Keywords: GESI, women, climate change, ASEAN Chairmanship, Indonesia.

Climate change presents a complex set of challenges that disproportionately impact vulnerable groups, with women often bearing the brunt of the impacts due to existing socio-cultural norms and unequal access to resources and decision-making processes. In Indonesia, coastal communities face increasing risks from rising sea levels, extreme weather events and coastal erosion caused by climate change. Women, who are often the primary caregivers and resource managers in these communities, bear a disproportionate burden of disasters caused by climate change. They experience increased vulnerability due to socio-cultural norms, limited access to resources, and limited power in making decisions. The impacts of climate change on women in Sendang Biru coastal areas are seen in various forms, including increased economic insecurity, loss of livelihoods, increased health risks, and disrupted access to health facilities. In addition, women's traditional roles as natural resource managers and family caretakers make them vulnerable to environmental degradation and displacement.

Dengan menanyakan bagaimana kontribusi perempuan di Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat (DPR) Indonesia dalam isu lingkungan, tulisan ini akan mengangkat pembahasan tentang Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2020 tentang Cipta Kerja (UU Cipta Kerja) sebagai studi kasus.

Pembahasan dan perumusan UU Cipta Kerja menunjukkan beberapa hal yang menarik. Pertama, suara anggota parlemen perempuan untuk UU Cipta Kerja terlihat hanya mengikuti ideologi dan kepentingan partai politik mereka walaupun keberadaan undang-undang ini dikritik mengancam lingkungan hidup dan berdampak negatif terhadap perempuan pekerja. Terkait dengan poin pertama, keberadaan perempuan di parlemen tidak serta merta berdampak terhadap perumusan legislasi yang pro lingkungan.

So it is time for women's mental health to be given serious attention. Unfortunately, in this research found that Indonesia does not yet have specific regulations regarding mental health for women, only general rules that are implicitly stated in Law Number 17 of 2023 Article 76 that “everyone has the right to access mental health services that are safe, quality and affordable” also psychiatric research regarding mental disorders in Indonesia is still limited.

Using Warren’s approach of ecofeminism, the analysis of this research is divided into three parts. The first is masculinity and men’s role in Aceh’s environmental degradation, second is women and interconnection with nature, and third is ecofeminist philosophy in the case of Aceh’s female forest rangers. This study found that first, perpetrators of deforestation are mostly men as it is one of their ways to make a livelihood, enforcing a masculinity perspective that men should be dominating in providing for their family, including dominating the environment. Second, the female forest rangers have strong interconnections with nature since all the categories of interconnectedness between women and nature according to Warren can be found in this casestudy. Lastly, this case study can be claimed as an example of ecofeminist philosophy because the three aspects of Warren’s ecofeminist philosophy can be found in the research.
