Exploring Gender Differences in Public Speaking Anxiety
Full text linkComprehending the factors that lead to public speaking anxiety is crucial; this includes gender distinction. This research was aimed at examining the levels of students' English public speaking anxiety in the context of their gender differences. This study included 63 (21 males and 42 females) English Language Education Study Program students from one of the state universities in North Sumatra. To examine this phenomenon in its natural environment, a mixing technique was used. An examination of records was utilized to collect the required data. The data was then analyzed in two distinct ways: a statistical calculation was performed on the results of 17-question student questionnaires on their level of public speaking anxiety, and a constructive analysis was performed by comparing the responses of various respondents. On average, male participants in this study reported lower levels of anxiety than female ones. The difference between 50.52 and 57.14 is substantial. “I am anxious that I will embarrass myself in front of the audience,” “I am anxious before speaking,” and “I am worried that my audience will think I am a poor speaker” are the areas where female respondents are more anxious than male. It is necessary to do more research with a bigger number and variety of respondents

Come Back Stronger After Suffered for Child Sexual Abuse: A Case Study to Understand the Family Resilience Process
No full textChild sexual abuse (CSA) is quite prevalent in Indonesia, with an increased rate over several years. The negative impacts of CSA have been investigated in several studies and the coping strategies for CSA survivors. However, resilience at the family level is rarely analyzed. This study investigates the resilience process of the CSA survivors' families after they were affected by the incident. Using a qualitative approach, we collected the data by interviewing and observing a family suffering from a CSA incident, the Geulis family (informant pseudonym). Data then were analyzed using thematic analysis with a family resilience model developed by Henry et al. The CSA incident has led to several adverse events in the Geulis (family, including unintended pregnancy, dropping out of school, hesitancy to stay in the hometown, and loss of job and family income. With support from extended family and some organizations, Geulis and her mother were able to find a new place to live and a new job for Geulis’s mother, and Geulis was able to start a new relationship and continue her study for a while. The complex and continuous adaptation process of the Geulis family was also analyzed using the adaptive family systems component. The Geulis family could function normally after experiencing the negative impact of CSA with some adjustment in their life and dynamic process in the family. Environment, including extended family, government, and non-government organizations, supports family resilience
The Gender Wage Gap in Fisheries Labour Market: The Analysis of Sociodemographic and Work-Related Factors in Indonesia
Full text linkIncome inequality is a challenge in the workplace, particularly in the fisheries subsector. Women are exploited, undervalued, and have limited educational opportunities. Age, education, employment position, duration of employment, and hours worked all contribute to this discrepancy. This study investigates how sociodemographic and work-related factors affect the gender wage gap in Indonesia’s fisheries subsector. 7.574 samples from the 2019 National Labour Force Survey were utilized. In this investigation, multiple linear regression analysis was employed. We find that age (p<0.001), working hours (p<0.001), and years worked (p<0.001) have a positive and significant association with earnings. In all categories, women earn less than men on average. The discrepancy in income depending on age, hours worked, and years worked ranges between 350 and 600 thousand rupiahs. The interaction of education and job status is likewise significant (p<0.02). This interaction also demonstrates the correlation between education level and the wealth gap. Inequality in income ranges from 450 to 800 thousand rupiahs for formal workers with a low level of education to a bachelor's degree, and from 450 to 550 thousand rupiahs for informal workers. For this reason, increasing education and empowering women are important factors in reducing income inequality and realizing the SDGs target to achieve decent work. Furthermore, government programs and policies at both the community and national levels need to adopt the norms, roles, and involvement of women in the fisheries subsector
Gender Relations during Pandemic Era in Indonesia: Negotiation and Resistance of Urban Woman Workers at Work from Home (WFH) in Family
Full text linkAfter the COVID-19 pandemic, a new condition (New Normal) affects a variety of human activities, especially the working conditions of urban women. Until now, women have been more than viewed as merely objects of domestication, worker exploitation, verbal or physical violence, and other forms of discrimination. This study aims to disclose an alternative perspective on women as subjects actively negotiating their domestic and public roles. This new condition introduces adjustments to women's work-at-home (work-from-home) and family responsibilities during the pandemic (approximately for two years). This research used a qualitative method with in-depth interviews through mapping a new condition of women who were able to negotiate and resist during the pandemic in their families. This study was conducted with working mothers in Surabaya, Sidoarjo, and Gresik. The findings of this study revealed that urban working women frequently negotiate and resist their roles, meaning that gender roles or relations are not static but are always in the process of being
Inventing the Reinvention? Tradition and the Body of Dancing Women
Full text linkThe practice of dance has historically been associated with complex social and political functions. There is abundant evidence demonstrating dance’s centrality in society, and it has become an integral part of the historical process. Concurrently, dance becomes an identity associated with women. In line with Hobsbawm’s concept of the invention of tradition. This study investigates the Jathilan Obyog tradition in Ponorogo through the lens of Hobsbawm’s notion of the invention of tradition, focusing on the dominant elite and the participation of Jathil women. The present study employs a qualitative approach, specifically utilizing ethnographic methodology. The data were collected through participant observation, interviews, and documentation that were tailored to the specific context and research objectives. The investigation employed the notion of the fabrication of tradition, initially introduced by Eric Hobsbawm and Terence Ranger, as the focal point of examination. The result shows that in a hegemonic endeavor that attempts to ‘discipline’ the tradition, Jathil women have succeeded in determining the power to reinvent tradition in picturesque ways, primarily through the body and with massive media support to create the process of reconstructing social memory and imagination. This research brings positive views of women as cultural agents within society
Power Relations in the Stadium Stands: Strengthening Gender Equality in Indonesian Football Club Supporters
No full textFootball competition in Indonesia is commonly perceived as male-dominated supporters. However, there is a growing trend of women supporters' groups. This study aims to analyze the hierarchical and power relations between women and men members of Brigata Curva Sud (BCS), a supporter base of PSS Sleman football club, which in 2017 was praised as the best ultra supporter in Asia. The study uses a descriptive-qualitative methodology to analyze the phenomenon. Using Michel Foucault's theory of power relations, the research findings demonstrate that BCS's manifesto is "no leader, just together," which suggests that the group does not recognize or accept the hierarchical organizational structure. Each member has equal rights and responsibilities in determining the organization's future and carrying out any decisions. Second, the power dynamic between men and women in BCS is equal. The only supreme power in the BCS that generates knowledge is an open-to-all-members deliberative forum, regardless of social class or gender
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Gender Mainstreaming Implementation in 2020 in Batu City, East Java
Full text linkThe COVID-19 pandemic during 2020 has impacted health aspects, social life, economics, and politics. Large-scale social restriction policies and health protocols have been applied in almost all regions in East Java. This study aims to identify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on gender mainstreaming implementation in Batu City and how the local government responds to it. Focus Group discussion (FDG) with the local government was run to obtain data. By using seven elements commonly used to evaluate gender mainstreaming implementation, this study shows that the COVID-19 pandemic has remarkably impacted gender mainstreaming implementation. No specific policies have yet been made within the gender mainstreaming framework. PUG institutions are also not involved in the COVID-19 task force. There have been efforts to respond to the impact in some sectors but not all in gender mainstreaming. Human resources have not been explicitly prepared in dealing with women’s problems during the COVID-19 pandemic. The budget is reallocated so that even routine activities cannot be fully carried out. Community participation is also helpful in tackling the pandemic, although it has not specifically responded to the impacts. This study implies the importance of integrating a disaster perspective in monitoring and evaluating gender mainstreaming
The Changes in the Daily Activities Cycle of Women Informal Workers during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Vulnerability and Resilience
Full text linkProductive work is often identified with public work that generates money, even though productive work is work that has production value. This article is based on research discussing the daily activities cycle of women that work in the informal sector during the Pandemic of COVID-19 in Yogyakarta. The research method is qualitative, followed by gender perspective, to affirm the narrative based on women’s experiences and gender analysis. On one side, economic recession due to the Pandemic of COVID-19 has increased the vulnerability of women in the informal sector because their income depends on daily economic activity. Conversely, implementing social distancing has increased women’s workload at home. However, culturally, women’s works in private sectors such as care work and mothering, tend to be normalized. Economic activity is associated with men’s jobs as breadwinners and is limited to public space. Therefore, women seem unproductive economically despite endless work (at home). This article does not only explore one single aspect of women’s double burdens but discusses how women’s identical activity with care work has been disconnected from the economic cycle chain itself. Meanwhile, living during the COVID-19 pandemic time shows that women’s works become a vital pillar of resilience in handling health and economic crises. Therefore, it is important to reconstruct the meaning of productive roles from a gender perspective, namely roles that have production value both at the public and domestic levels
