Characteristics of Child-friendly Cities: A Bibliometric Study
Full text linkWomen and children are two groups that are particularly susceptible to exploitation and violence. As women and children must be protected from all forms of violence and exploitation and conditioned with education and care so that all of their potential and talents can grow and develop optimally, women must be empowered to be independent and self-reliant without forgetting their nature. In order to enhance performance, this study examines urban planning and metrics of kid-friendly cities. Google Scholar is used to find credible and nationally accredited journals for this literature review, which uses articles from a variety of studies. According to the study, child-friendly cities only became popular in 2018, and very few Indonesian cities—especially Makassar—have adopted these ideas. More studies on social impact, children's autonomous mobility, playgrounds, city planning, safety, community, smart cities, kid-friendly environments, social evolution, health initiatives, transportation, and poverty are needed, according to the study. The study intends to serve as a guide for enhancing performance in cities that are kid-friendly
Exploring Female Hadith Transmitters: A Gender Perspective as a Modern Women’s History Lesson through Intelligent Ṣaḥabiyyāt
Full text linkIslam encourages women to achieve the highest intellectual and spiritual abilities and does not prioritize men over women. The early generation of Islam, known as the Ṣaḥabiyyah (companions of the Prophet), played a significant role in narrating hadith from the first to the next generation. This study explores the role of the Ṣaḥabiyyāt (female companions of the Prophet) in narrating the greatest source of Islam, especially the hadith. The study uses a qualitative method, collecting data and inventorying female narrators from Jawāmi’ul Kālim software. The results show that over 160 female narrators from the time of the the Ṣaḥabat or Tābi’in played an active role in the transmission of hadith to the next generation. The intelligence of the Ṣaḥabiyyat not only became teachers but also of prominent male companions. The study can motivate females to be at the forefront of education and scientific transformation without fear of gender differentiation
Kongres Ulama Perempuan Indonesia (KUPI) and Mubādalah Approach in Interpreting the Gender Biased-Qur'anic Verses
Full text linkConventional interpretation of the Quran often leads to the understanding that the verses are gender biased. This study is intended to discuss the mubādalah approach used by Kongres Ulama Perempuan Indonesia (KUPI) in interpreting the verses of the Qur’an that are considered gender bias. The question is how the Qur’an can be interpreted and how it can be explained. This study is a library study, focusing entirely on the existing library data. The study uses descriptive analysis with a hermeneutic approach, a tafsir analysis that considers the context of interpretation. This study concluded that the mubādalah approach that becomes the “official approach” of KUPI is relevant for interpreting gender biased-verses of the Qur’an. It is because the traditional and conventional interpretation makes it as if the verses of the Qur’an subordinate women, maltreating women in their relationship with men. Interpretation of the Quranic verses considered gender biased with the mubādalah approach in the context of the KUPI struggle is an appropriate advocative interpretation model for the improvement and fairness of gender relations
Rubber Farmers Children’s Perceptions of Continuing Business between Generations: Case Study in Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra
Full text linkThe declining interest of young people in farming extends beyond the food sector to include the plantation sector, warranting attention. This study addresses the insufficient exploration of the aspirations of plantation sector farmers’ children to pursue farming. The research focuses on analyzing the perceptions of farmers and their offspring regarding continuing rubber farming and identifying influencing factors in Ujung Tanjung Village, Banyuasin III District, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra. Employing a random sampling survey method, 36 school-age children were interviewed from a population of 175. Findings indicate that the children’s interest in rubber farming is relatively low (average score: 53.25), influenced by factors such as land area, participation in family farming, and agricultural extension. Although a generational transition in agricultural activities is observed in the village, guidance and counseling remain crucial to address farmer children’s perceptions
Women’s Political Representation in Feminist Perspectives: Case Study in the Bone Regency People's Representative Council
Full text linkWomen and politics are inseparable but intertwined. This study aims to explore the concept and implementation of women's political representation in Bone Regency by using qualitative methods through interviews with DPRD members, institutions, and the community. Although women's participation in political parties has met the 30% quota according to the KPU, women's representation in the Regional Representative Council (DPRD) of Bone Regency is only 4 out of 45 elected members (2019-2024). The analysis shows that the implementation of women's political representation has not been maximized, influenced by structural, cultural, religious stigma, and economic factors. Local regulations do not fully reflect women's needs and rights. Proposed solutions include political education, broad access for women, increasing awareness and confidence, and building political and social networks. This research shows that a concerted effort is needed from relevant parties to improve structures, overcome cultural and religious stigma, and create economic conditions that support women in actively participating in politics
Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs): Women’s Empowerment for Women Entrepreneurs
Full text linkMicro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are the foundation for advancing the nation’s economy. According to the mapping of MSMEs actors in Indonesia, 64.5% of total MSMEs were micro-scaled enterprises managed by women. Expanding women’s businesses positively impacts economic recovery; therefore, women’s empowerment must be appropriately implemented. This study aimed to obtain empirical data regarding women’s empowerment in the fashion sector of MSMEs in Bandung. This research used a quantitative non-experimental approach with convenience sampling and was conducted with 115 women entrepreneurs of MSMEs in the online and offline fashion sector in Bandung. The research results show that women entrepreneurs of MSMEs with good women’s empowerment can help themselves improve their performance in entrepreneurship to create progress for women’s MSMEs. Education is a very important factor for women to be more empowered. An annual omzet on a Microscale allows women to be empowered and direct themselves better because they feel more competent with the risks of small-scale businesses. Women entrepreneurs must retain and expand their women’s empowerment to realise their inner potential to enhance the performance and business they are now conducting
“Underwear Rule” in Improving Sexual Abuse Prevention Attitudes among Parents of Intellectual Disabilities Adolescent
Full text linkSexual abuse remains a prevalent issue among disabled individuals, particularly adolescents with intellectual disabilities. Parental lack of knowledge and negative attitudes towards sexual abuse contribute to its occurrence. This study aims to investigate the impact of “Underwear Rule” training on the attitudes of parents of adolescents with intellectual disabilities towards sexual abuse prevention. Employing a pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design, the research involved 72 parents. The Wilcoxon test was utilized for analysis. The findings reveal a positive influence of “Underwear Rule” training on parents’ attitudes, enhancing their motivation to prevent sexual abuse in adolescents with intellectual disabilities. Collaboration among healthcare workers, educators, and parents is recommended to implement and integrate “Underwear Rule” training into daily activities, effectively preventing sexual abuse in this vulnerable population

Contestation between Fiqh and Culture in Indonesia: The Maqāṣid al-Sharī’ah Paradigm in Dangers of Forced Marriage against Women
Full text linkThis article addresses the contentious issues between Islamic Jurisprudence (fiqh) and cultural practices related to forced marriage. Motivated by the widespread prevalence of forced marriage in society, often perpetuated with religious arguments, the research aims to provide insights into the meaning of the term “ijbar” in fiqh discourse. While fiqh interprets “ijbar” as a custodian’s right to coerce their daughter, the article highlights the specific term “ikrah” for coercion in Islamic law. Utilizing a qualitative method, the study involves document analysis through an in-depth examination of fiqh literature. Data sources include classical and contemporary jurisprudence literature, information on forced marriages in Indonesia, and religious fatwas from the Indonesian Women’s Ulama Congress (KUPI). The article argues that forced marriage contradicts the maqāṣid al-sharī'ah, evidenced by spiritual and religious decline, domestic violence, restricted access to education, adverse reproductive effects, and limited economic resources
