Abstract Background The war in Syria caused the forced displacement of millions of Syrians to neighboring countries. Lebanon is the host country with the largest overall number of Syrian refugees per capita. Adolescent refugee girls experience a unique level of vulnerability during human emergencies and are at increased risk of suffering from poor sexual and reproductive health (SRH) outcomes. We conducted an exploratory qualitative study to learn about the SRH perceptions and experiences of refugee adolescent girls living in Bourj Hammoud, an urban setting in Lebanon. Methods We employed a qualitative design with eight focus group discussions (FGDs) conducted with 40 Syrian Arab and Syrian Kurdish adolescent girls between January and March 2020. Every FGD consisted of five participants aged 13 to 17 years. A semi-structured guide was used covering multiple themes: menstruation, puberty, SRH awareness, and sexual harassment. FGDs were transcribed and analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings The participants discussed adolescent girls’ health and named six elements of good health, such as healthy activities and self-protection. The majority of the FGD participants reported a lack of awareness about menstruation when they experienced it for the first time and the social stigma associated with menstruation. When defining puberty, they indicated its social link to a girl’s readiness for marriage and her need to become cautious about sexual harassment. Most FGD participants had very poor knowledge of the female reproductive system. Mothers were the most approached persons to receive information on SRH issues; however, the girls indicated a wish to receive advice from specialists in a comfortable and private atmosphere. All the girls reported that either they themselves, or an acquaintance, had experienced some type of sexual harassment. The girls rarely reported those incidents due to fear of being blamed or subjected to mobility restrictions, or forced to drop out of school. Conclusions The findings show the refugee girls need for satisfactory knowledge on SRH issues and interventions to prevent sexual and gender-based violence that take into consideration the complexity of urban settings.

Objective - This article attempts to discuss an on-going sexual harassment deterrent initiative in safeguarding the well-being of sports practitioners in Malaysia. Methodology/Technique – The primary data used in this article is taken from a focus group session which consisted of a total of 35 participants. The main objective of this article is to discuss the results, specifically the recommendations made by focus group participants which consisted of government officers, members of NGOs, sports experts, and sports practitioners. The focus group participants firstly pin-pointed the inadequacy of current deterrent mechanisms that have failed to protect Malaysian athletes from sexual harassment such that more often than not many cases have been unreported or have simply been dismissed altogether. Following this, suggestions and recommendations were put forward by the focus group participants to improve on the mechanisms that would ensure a safe and supportive environment for all Malaysians in sport in order to eliminate all forms of sexual harassment, abuse, and exploitation. Finding – Taking into consideration the suggestions and recommendations put forth by the focus group this paper suggests a 4Ps framework in order to eliminate all forms of sexual harassment and abuse in sport.

This paper aims to examine the roots, dynamics, and resolutions of land conflict between Rengas farmers and Limbang Jaya farmers with PTPN VII Cinta Manis in Ogan Ilir, South Sumatra. Authors use qualitative method through deepening data from depth interviews, observation and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The results showed that the roots of the conflict are different foundation claims, lack of transparency in the mechanism of compensation, land grabbing by companies. The key findings of the conflict dynamics study was that conflict between farmers of Rengas with PTPN VII Cinta Manis led to reclaiming action by farmers which was regarded as a victory for the resistance of farmers in conflict. This reclaiming action attracted more regions into the conflict contestation, including farmers of Limbang Jaya. Rengas conflict and Limbang Jaya conflict was different: Rengas conflict had history of resistance since the beginning, while the conflict of Limbang Jaya was an escalation of the Rengas conflict. Conflict resolution was taken through advocating by civil society element and mediation by stakeholders. Both resolutions approaches have not been able to provide a sustainable resolution, due to advocacy efforts tend to be a massive confrontation, while mediation was only a procedural matter not a substantive matter.

Workplace Setting

In Malaysia, there has appeared no specific and comprehensive legislation deals with sexual harassment in the workplace yet. Unlike other illegal behaviors such as rape and domestic violence, sexual harassment has seemingly been regarded as a mere workplace problem and hence given less attention by lawmakers and the government. The studies in 2019 show that 60% of people from various work fields reported that they experienced and were the victims of sexual harassment within the workplace setting in Malaysia. The report also indicates that the leader at their workplace or someone superior usually committed the harassment and sometimes their colleague did such act. Indeed, sexual harassment is conduct where males play a vital role as a harasser, but it is undeniable that men are also likely to be sexually harassed. Despite the provision in the Penal Code, Employment Act 1955, and Code of Practice on the Prevention and Eradication of Sexual Harassment in the workplace, the number of cases is still on the rise. Given the extent of the problem, the objective of this paper is to examine the existing legal provision in Malaysia governing sexual harassment and the judicial approach in dealing with sexual harassment cases in Malaysia. The authors contend the need for a specific law to address the sexual harasment in Malaysia, considering the insufficiency and inefficiency of the available legislative provisions.

Gebang Fish Landing Base (GebangPPI) was built as a means for fishermen and fisheries businessin Gebang District, Cirebon Regency, in carrying out fisheries economic activities in an effort to improve welfare. This study aims to analyze the condition of the Gebang PPI facilities and the level of utilization by the community, as well as the potential of fisheries capture in Gebang. The next aim is to determine the strategy for managing the Gebang PPI in an effort to improve the fishermen welfare. The method used is descriptive qualitative method. Primary data are obtained through observation, interviews, questionnaires and surveys, while secondary data are obtained from relevant government agencies to analyze the level of the Gebang PPI utilization. Variables are measured using a Likert scale, while SWOT analysis is used to determine the management strategy. The results of the analysis show that the conditions of the Gebang PPI facilities and infrastructures are inadequate for the continuity of fisheries activities, as well as the level of utilization because fishermen prefer to transact outside the PPI. This condition is caused by capital ties between fishermen and intermediary/middlemen. The large potential of fisheries in the Gebang PPI does not guarantee the level of fishermen welfare, because fisheries economic transactions are still determined by intermediary/ middlemen as capital owners. The results of the SWOT analysis show the position in Quadrant I, a very favorable situation. That is, Gebang PPI has the opportunity and strength so that it can take advantage of the opportunities that exist. The strategy that must be implemented is to support aggressive growth policies (growth oriented strategy). The strategy that can be implemented is to optimally utilize the existing potential to facilitate fisheries activities in Gebang, so as to provide benefits for increasing the income of Gebang fishermen.   Pangkalan Pendaratan Ikan (PPI) Gebang dibangun sebagai sarana bagi nelayan dan pelaku perikanan di Kecamatan Gebang, Kabupaten Cirebon, dalam menjalankan aktivitas ekonomi perikanan sebagai upaya meningkatkan kesejahteraan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kondisi fasilitas PPI Gebang dan tingkat pemanfaatannya oleh masyarakat, serta potensi perikanan tangkap di Gebang. Selanjutnya menentukan strategi pengelolaan PPI Gebang dalam upaya meningkatkan kesejahteraan nelayan. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif kualitatif. Data primer diperoleh melalui observasi, wawancara, kuesionerdan survei, sedangkan data sekunder diperoleh dari instansi pemerintah yang terkait untuk menganalisis tingkat pemanfaatan PPI. Pengukuran variabel menggunakan skala Likert, sedangkan untuk menentukan strategi pengelolaannya menggunakan analisis SWOT. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa kondisi sarana dan prasarana PPI Gebang kurang memadai bagi kelangsungan aktivitas perikanan, begitu juga dengan tingkat pemanfaatannya karena nelayan lebih memilih bertransaksi di luar PPI. Kondisi ini disebabkan oleh ikatan permodalan antara nelayan dengan bakul/tengkulak. Besarnya potensi perikanan di PPI Gebang tidak menjamin tingkat kesejahteraan bagi nelayan, karena transaksi ekonomi perikanan masih ditentukan oleh bakul/tengkulak sebagai pemilik modal. Hasil analisis SWOT menunjukkan posisi pada Kuadran I, merupakan situasi yang sangat menguntungkan. Artinya, PPI Gebang mempunyai peluang dan kekuatan sehingga dapat memanfaatkan peluang yang ada. Strategi yang harus diterapkan adalah mendukung kebijakan pertumbuhan yang agresif (growth oriented strategy). Strategi yang dapat diterapkan adalah memanfaatkan secara optimal potensi yang ada untuk memfasilitasi kegiatan perikanan di Gebang, sehingga memberikan manfaat bagi peningkatan pendapatan nelayan Gebang.
