<p class="Bodytext5">This paper describes the role of women in unifying the nation associated with Islamic perspectives. The role of women in various sectors of the nation's life is an urgent need. Many things women can do for the benefit of nation and state. Women have been suggested as male subordination, marginalized and difficult self-actualizing well. Patterns of power and status that assume that men are higher than women are very influential on the pattern of gender relations. Not a few policies and regulations are born on the perception. It is therefore not surprising that in the community there is a gender ideology that seeks to fundamentally dismantle policies and regulations that are not considered gender-sensitive. Cultural context always puts women as second class people. Women are more required to fulfill obligations regardless of rights, used to struggle to become human beings who exist in their community. Such social construction makes women more patient, testable and istiqomah in the fight for peace, harmony and unity mission.</p><p class="Bodytext5"> </p><p class="Bodytext5">Tulisan ini memaparkan peran perempuan dalam mempersatukan bangsa yang dikaitkan dengan perpektif Islam.

Pola kekuasaan dan status yang beranggapan bahwa laki-laki lebih tinggi dari perempuan sangat berpengaruh pada pola relasi gender. Tidak sedikit kebijakan dan peraturan lahir atas persepsi tersebut. Karena itu tidak heran jika dimasyarakat muncul ideologi gender yang berupaya meninjau secara mendasar membongkar berbagai kebijakan dan peraturan yang dinilai tidak berwawasan gender. Konteks budaya selalu menempatkan perempuan sebagai manusia kelas dua. Perempuan lebih dituntut untuk memenuhi                 kewajiban tanpa memperhitungkan hak, terbiasa berjuang untuk menjadi manusia yang eksis dalam komunitasnya. Konstruksi sosial demikian itu menjadikan perempuan lebih sabar, tahan uji dan istiqomah dalam memperjuangkan misi kedamaian, kerukunan dan persatuan.</p><p class="Bodytext20"> </p>

Abstract This article examines the role of women in Hobbes's economic thought. First, I frame Hobbes's economic thought in relation to his philosophical materialism so as to underscore the extent to which Hobbes's materialism entails the insight that human beings are, by definition, productive, economic creatures. I argue that his description of the economy, even without explicit acknowledgment, necessarily positions women as crucial economic actors. I then consider the implications of this in relation to the feminist possibilities of Hobbes's gender politics. I conclude that when deliberating on this question, we face the same conundrum that is evident in all literature considering Hobbes and gender. His radical comments about women in the state of nature are undermined by his seeming indifference to the state of women in commonwealths once they are founded.

This paper lies at the intersection of the considerable scholarly literatures on household livelihood strategies and on the role of women in Southeast Asia. Focused ethnographically on rural Philippine households engaged primarily in various combinations of fishing and farming activities, and analytically on how gender relations figure in the decisions that the co-heads of these households make regarding their economic plans for the future, it considers how the livelihood diversification that characteristically accompanies rural development affects – and is in turn affected by – the conjugal relationship.

Tradition and the practices of gender domination on the example of hutsul carollingThe Christmas custom of carolling occupies a very special place in the life of Hutsulshchyna inhabitants. Referred to as a religious rite, for a long time Hutsul carolling has been an object of numerous studies that shape ideas about it. In spite of the functioning of many forms of carolling in these areas, both researchers and the inhabitants of the Ukrainian Carpathians recognize as the most important the male form of carolling, which marginalized the role of women. However, on closer inspection it turns out that women also have an exceptional impact on the course of tradition, often taking the initiative in carolling. The article focuses on the, hitherto disregarded in the literature gender, relations within the Hutsul carolling. It also analyses the connection between discourse and social practices manifested in male and female forms of carolling. A look at the official and non-official character of tradition as well as relations between genders and any crises connected with them highlights the domination and symbolic power within the gender domain. Tradycja a praktyki dominacji w obrębie płci na przykładzie huculskiego kolędowaniaBożonarodzeniowy zwyczaj kolędowania zajmuje szczególne miejsce w życiu mieszkańców Huculszczyzny. Określane jako rytuał religijny huculskie kolędowanie od dawna stanowi obiekt wielu prac naukowych, które kształtują wyobrażenia na jego temat. Na tych terenach funkcjonuje wiele form kolędowania. Za najistotniejsze, zarówno badacze, jak i mieszkańcy Karpat ukraińskich, uznają kolędowanie mężczyzn, w którym marginalizowana jest rola kobiet. Przy bliższym przyjrzeniu okazuje się jednak, że również i one mają szczególny wpływ na przebieg tradycji, niejednokrotnie przejmując kolędniczą inicjatywę. Artykuł skupia się na nieuwzględnianych dotąd w literaturze przedmiotu relacjach płci w obrębie huculskiego kolędowania. Analizuje również związek dyskursu i praktyk społecznych przejawiających się w kolędzie kobiecej i męskiej. Przyjrzenie się kwestiom oficjalności i nieoficjalności oraz relacjom między płcią a wszelkiego rodzaju kryzysami pozwala zwrócić uwagę na uwidaczniającą się dominację oraz przemoc symboliczną w obrębie płci.

In the four decades straddling the turn of the nineteenth century, the small Ontario town of Niagara-on-the-Lake experienced marked growth in its tourism industry. Catering predominantly to wealthy upper-middle-class Canadian and American visitors, the lake-side settlement offered numerous opportunities for polite recreation. Chief among them was lawn tennis, a sport that sat somewhat outside of the mainstream in terms of its high-class, mixed-sex participation demographic. While its players were imbued with a strong amateur philosophy, local boosters recognized the sport’s potential to generate tourism income through its two tournaments, but this hinged on the outward presentation among its players/guests of refined gentility—a reflection of both class and gender—both on and off the court. This article considers how lawn tennis tournaments fit into the town’s burgeoning tourism industry, and examines gender relations—particularly the role of women—in relation to this development.

Dalam masyarakat agama akan selalu terjadi perdebatan antara kelompok yang bertahan dengan teks sebagaimana adanya dengan pihak-pihak yang mencoba membaca teks dalam konteks dan membuatnya selaras dengan perkembangan paradigma baru dalam kehidupan kekinian. Salah satu topik yang merefleksikan fenomena di atas adalah ketika wacana gender yang adalah problematika kehidupan cosmopolitan modern dihadapkan dengan teks-teks suci yang telah berusia berabad-abad yang lalu. Tidaklah mengherankan bila kemudian terjadi perdebatan yang serius tentang kemampuan masyarakat agama di dalam merespon issu gender ini. Artikel ini berusaha untuk mengungkapkan pengkajian Islam modern  dengan mempelajari suatu pendekatan baru yang popular dengan istilah pendekatan gender di dalam melakukan analisa terhadap ayat-ayat maupun hadis nabi dan istinbat hukum terutama di dalam menggambarkan posisi dan peranan kaum wanita serta hubungan mereka dengan kaum laki-laki. Dalam artikel ini akan ditemukan secara jelas bahwa Konsep relasi gender di dalam Alquran merefleksikan dua kesan yang berbeda secara theologies dan sosiologis.   In religious societies there will always be debates between groups that persist with the text as it is with parties who try to read the text in context and make it in harmony with the development of new paradigms in contemporary life. One topic that reflects the above phenomenon is when gender discourse is a problem of modern cosmopolitan life confronted with sacred texts that have been centuries old. It is not surprising then that serious debate ensues about the ability of religious communities to respond to this gender issue. This article seeks to express the study of modern Islam by studying a new app roach that is popular with the term gender approach in analyzing the verses and traditions of the prophet and legal istinbat especially in describing the position and role of women and their relationship with men . In this article it will be clearly found that the concept of gender relations in the Koran reflects two different theological and sociological impressions.

Allah is the creator of all universe and human beings as being crown of creation are bound with the ties of love, and unity. No one can survive alone. So man wants to live in groups and these groups form a society. Islam gives much importance to women, honored her. Women contributed a lot in the welfare of a society. It is a woman who born and brings up great personalities to work the great for the progress of a society. Status and historical role of women in society is undeniable. This article deals with meritorious contribution of women in the welfare of society. The women with true Islamic spirit and awareness of all the preaching and teachings of Holy Quran and Sunnah can serve   the society in the best manner. At the advent of Prophet ﷺ the women were treated as a slave, deprived of her rights. Islam gave the woman their due right, Respect and Honor and woman contributed a lot in all the field of life especially in Education. An educated woman is the blessing for a society. So woman should perform at their level best for the welfare of the society being a mother, a sister, a wife being within the limits of Islam. Women were seen as wives to cook and take care of kids but now it is realized women should have some different type of role like holding position in governments, doing job at top level, and doing business, so it proves their presence outside the kitchen and laundry. So this article discusses role and responsibities of women in the light of Islamic teaching.

The number of women involved with drugs is increasing, and the same is true for violence against them. Many of these women are mothers. This study aimed to investigate how mothers of children between one month and six years old who are living in a context of drugs and violence and are receiving treatment for drug addiction interpret their experience as mothers. This article is part of a multicenter study in Colombia and Brazil and discusses the results of interviews with 6 Colombian mothers. Focused ethnography was used and the interviews were submitted to latent content analysis. Violence was present in the participants' socio-cultural context and drugs consumption in their family of origin. These aspects possibly induced them to become addicted to drugs and influenced their mothering role. Overall, the mothers expressed ambivalence about their role in that they idealized being mothers but were aware that they were addicted mothers.

This study examines the role of women in the utilization and management of the Family Hope Program fund and describes the process of gender relations constructed in beneficiary families in Surabaya. This qualitative study has two objectives, namely: (1) identifying the role of women in the utilization and management of Family Hope Program funds in Surabaya; and (2) describing the process of gender relations constructed in the beneficiary families. The results indicate that the role of women in managing Family Hope Program funds in Surabaya remains stagnant. Women benefiting from the fund plays a dual role of working in formal and informal sectors and carrying out domestic functions such as caring for babies, cooking, and the likes. These women do not carry out the role in managing the Family Hope Program fund as they are supposed to, such as managing finances and planning needs and spending. This indicates that men still dominate the role of determining the amount of allocation, whereas women are only executors. In addition, the Family Hope Program still cannot restructure the existing gender relations among the people of Surabaya. The program also does not change the pattern of gender relations in decision making in the household. This can be seen from family planning participation. Women benefiting from the fund are reluctant to use family planning contraception due to the husband’s prohibition.
