PATRIARCHAL CULTURE AND EDUCATIONAL BARRIERS: A PARSONIAN STRUCTURAL FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS OF GENDER INEQUALITY IN HIGHER EDUCATION IN JAMPANG VILLAGE
Full text linkThis study examines gender inequality in higher education in Jampang Village, Gunung Sindur District, Bogor Regency. The issue of gender inequality is still relevant because it is related to the principles of morality and justice, and is important in achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs). The study used a qualitative approach with a case study method, involving interviews with five women in Jampang Village who did not continue their higher education. Data was also obtained through observation and literature study. The results of the study show that gender inequality in education is caused by a patriarchal culture that places men in a more dominant role and limits women's access to education. Women in Jampang Village are often forced to marry after graduating from high school to ease the economic burden on their families, with the support of parents who believe that women's roles are limited to household affairs. The inability to continue their education limits their career opportunities and makes it difficult for them to find decent work. Factors that hinder women from continuing their higher education include family pressure, financial constraints, and household responsibilities. Analysis using Talcott Parsons' structural functional theory highlights that gender inequality is the result of social structures that support discrimination against women. Therefore, to overcome gender inequality, it is necessary to change the mindset of society and have government policy support that ensures equal access to education for women and men. Recommendations include developing gender-sensitive curricula to eliminate gender discrimination and raising public awareness of the importance of higher education for women

REALITAS KEKERASAN DAN PELECEHAN PEREMPUAN DI TEMPAT KERJA: ANALISIS PERSPEKTIF GENDER
No full textThe amount of violence and harassment that women still experience in the workplace shows that there is no safe and comfortable place for women in the public environment, especially the workplace. The 2023 International Labour Organisation (ILO) Survey results also indicate that Indonesia is among the nations experiencing an emergency scenario of workplace violence. Based on this background, the research aims to shed light on the reality of workplace violence and harassment against women from a gender perspective. The literature review method was employed in this study. This approach uses numerous references from books, articles, and earlier research journals. This study used secondary data for its data collection. International journal databases like Google Scholar, Pubmed, Researchget, and Crossref were used for journal searches. The terms "violence and harassment of women in the workplace" and "violence against women at the workplace" are used in the search for data sources. The findings of the research point to the complexity of the issue of violence and harassment against women in the workplace, which is influenced by a variety of individual factors, structures, and norms. Through the individual aspect, it is understood that women are always portrayed by inherent gender stereotypes that can lead to violence and harassment. Meanwhile, through the aspects of structure and norms, it is understood that there is a role of power relations and hierarchical structures attached to gender identity in shaping an environment that allows violence and harassment to occur. A strategic step that can be taken is to incorporate the institutionalisation of gender issues coupled with an understanding of gender from the human side to place every gender, both women and men, together to feel safe
