Full textAbstract:
One of the motives for family law reform in the Islamic world is to strengthen the rights of women who tend to be discriminated against and subordinated. Egypt introduced its first family law reform by passing Laws No.25 of 1920 and 1929. Pakistan, through the Muslim Family Law Ordinance of 1961, regulates the issue of divorce and guarantees women's rights in it. Meanwhile, in Indonesia the rules regarding divorce are contained in the 1974 Marriage Law and the Compilation of Islamic Law. This article reviews the development of family law in Egypt, Indonesia and Pakistan, highlights the approaches and methods used in reform, and explores the extent to which family law reforms strengthen women's rights, especially in the field of divorce. The method used in this article is a literature study, by collecting secondary data from relevant literature and then describing it. The findings of the study show that family law reforms in Egypt, Indonesia and Pakistan use intra-doctrinal reform and extra-doctrinal reform approaches. Substantively, the reforms have strengthened women's rights in at least two aspects: first, the limitation of the husband's right to divorce, and second, the expansion of women's access to apply for divorce. Although subtantively the law has strengthened women's rights, in practice divorce and its settlement in the three countries still leave problems and sometimes harm women.

Purpose: To analyze and evaluate the impact of the most recent legal reforms in the Jordanian laws aimed at protecting women’s rights. Theoretical Reference: By employing human rights and critical legal studies as theoretical frameworks, the research provide a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of women's rights in Jordanian legislation, identify key challenges, and propose strategies for sustained progress towards gender equality. Method: The research method used is Doctrinal Legal Research, analyzing laws, regulations, statutes, and legal documents to understand the structure of the law and its applicability to the intended purpose. Results and Conclusion: The research provided in-depth analysis of the progress in protecting women rights in CEDAW reservations, the Jordanian constitution, and major national laws: nationality law, personal status law, civil service law, and labor law. Beyond legal changes, it's vital for the government to view laws as protective measures and actively combat indirect discrimination against women, shifting focus from mere legal neutrality to acknowledging and supporting women's roles and responsibilities in society. Implications of research: Overall, studying the evolution of women's rights in legislation provides valuable insights into the progress, challenges, and opportunities for advancing gender equality and human rights within societies. Originality/value: Recent reforms in Jordanian legislation, notably the latest constitutional amendment, highlight the importance of assessing the status of women's rights in the country. While there are concerns about the perceived limited progress in legal protection for women, there is a critical need for comprehensive analysis of recent amendments to enrich global literature on this significant issue, emphasizing the necessity of updating existing literature with relevant, current information.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractFeminist scholars have debated questions of gender and judging by focusing on variables such as representation, difference, diversity and legitimacy. While illuminating, most of these studies are by scholars in the global north. More research is needed to understand issues of gender and judging in the global south. This article adds to existing literature by asking whether women judges promote women's rights. Through in-depth interviews with women judges in Ghana, the article demonstrates that women judges do promote women's rights. The article presents a new method of analysis: exploring the dichotomy between direct and indirect modes of representing women's rights. Recognizing the importance of substantive representation and the contributions of female judges in promoting women's rights, it argues that female judges are not a sufficient condition for promoting women's rights. Necessary conditions include laws guaranteeing women's rights, working partnerships with women's civil society organizations and an enabling socio-cultural climate.

Full textAbstract:
Tholkappiyam is one of the fundamental reasons why the Tamil language stands high today. Tholkappiyam, the oldest, most unique, and the older books that originated in Tamil are the foremost of all the rare books of Tamil. There are so many messages in Tholkappiyam that it can be said that there are no principles that are not there. Tholkappiyam allows us to study contemporary linguistics and talk about literature. The fact that Tholkappiyam also accommodates various literary principles such as Pillai Tamil, folk literature, drama, travel literature, geographical theories, morphology, aesthetics, sociology, science, botany, etc., speaks volumes about the importance of Tholkappiyam to the world. Is there a version of feminist news within the Tholkappiyam? Tolkappian lovers may think that it is wrong to see that. However, Tholkappiyam's uniqueness is that tholkappiyam gives space to carry out research using modern theory. The fact that the fields of study in Tholkappiyam are incalculable is perfectly clear, as a hill in a plain. This article also explores whether the rights of the women who lived in the time of the Tolkappians have been taken away and how should women understand the Tolkappian text. It is certain that this article will look at the methods in which women's rights are recorded in the Tholkappiyam and their cause from the point of view of women.

Full textAbstract:
Women's equal employment rights are one of the key research topics. The researchers found that only relying on human rights norms could not effectively regulate women's unequal employment rights problems. In addition, Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) and their host and home countries are responsible for women's unequal employment. Mandatory human rights due diligence (HRDD) laws can effectively regulate this gender inequality. However, the law on mandatory HRDD is still in its infancy and needs to be improved. The present study employs a literature review and empirical research methods to examine the factors hindering the guarantee of women's equal employment. Additionally, this paper scrutinizes the justifications for introducing mandatory HRDD laws. Meanwhile, the study analyses the advantages of mandatory HRDD laws and evaluates the current effectiveness, scope of application, and implementation. It is argued that the present situation needs to be revised to safeguard women's equal employment rights better. Finally, the paper offers corresponding suggestions to enhance the mandatory HRDD laws, and the research purpose of this paper is to promote women's employment equality and human rights protection.

Full textAbstract:
The struggle of the women's movement in the Java region in obtaining rights and authorities which were initially opposed during the movement provided lessons for the community, especially students in history learning activities. The aim of the research is for students to take the value of the struggle from the women's movement as implementation in everyday life to advance education that has been built by women's movement figures during the period of the national movement. This research was conducted using a descriptive research type using a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques were carried out through literature studies by reviewing various sources ranging from articles, research-related literature, as well as analysis of movement discussions related to women. The value of the struggle of the Javanese women's movement can be implemented in history lessons by integrating Javanese women's movement material into the school curriculum and opening extracurriculars with the theme of the history of the Javanese women's movement. The struggle of the women's movement is expected to have a positive impact today such as gender empowerment, expansion of education, equal rights and authority or freedom and just leadership.
Keywords: Value of struggle, Javanese Women's Movement, Education, Rights and authority, Learning History.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: This research explores the intersection of women's rights and Islamic law in Southeast Asia. This research aims to examine how Islamic law, as interpreted and practiced in the region, affects women's rights and to identify potential areas for reform that could better protect and promote women's rights within the framework of Islamic law. Method: To achieve this, the researcher conducted qualitative method, which include literature review using secondary data, and interview with relevant sources to obtain primary data that will support the analysis to achieve the purpose of this research. Researcher also used primary legal sources, such as regulations and legal cases, and legal policies in relation to women's rights and Islamic law in Southeast Asia. Interviews will be conducted with experts and activists working in the field to gain their perspectives on women's rights in the region and the challenges they face. Analysis will use a descriptive-analytical approach. Result: The research results indicate that while Islamic law provides some protections for women's rights, significant gaps in its application and interpretation leave women vulnerable to discrimination, abuse, and inequality. These gaps often result from patriarchal interpretations and practices prioritizing men's rights and interests over women's. Based on these findings, the study concludes that there is a need for a more nuanced and gender-sensitive interpretation and application of Islamic law that better protects and promotes women's rights. This could involve reforms in legal frameworks, policies, and practices and greater awareness and education about women's rights and the intersections between Islamic law and gender equality. Conclusion: Overall, this study highlights the ongoing struggle for women's rights in Southeast Asia and the need for continued efforts to ensure that these rights are fully realized within the framework of Islamic law.

Full textAbstract:
Stunting, as a global issue, has become a primary concern in Indonesia, with a declining trend in prevalence but still predominant indirect interventions for children under five years old. However, the impact of stunting on pregnant women or mothers of toddlers, who are the closest caregivers to stunted children, is often overlooked. Throughout the pregnancy and child-rearing periods, many reproductive rights of women remain unfulfilled, leading to suboptimal health conditions for both the mother and child. This research aims to describe sexual health rights, gender justice, and their relation to the stunting issue in Indonesia. The research method employed was a literature review accessing online databases, including Google Scholar, using keywords such as “stunting,” “women's rights,” “gender,” and “reproductive health rights.” Out of 700 articles identified, a reselection was conducted using the VoSViewer software to obtain literature relevant to the research theme. This article emphasizes that many health services in Indonesia are not optimal in fulfilling women's rights. Conversely, some health services are even challenging for women to access, indicating the government's negative contribution to fulfilling women's rights. Therefore, preventing stunting requires a broader and more integrative approach, including women's empowerment, reconstructing social norms regarding reproductive health, and strengthening health services that favor women. Consequently, the Indonesian government needs to intensify efforts to ensure the fulfillment of women's reproductive health rights as a strategic step in preventing stunting issues in the future.

In fact, women's discussion is contemporary thinking. Women's life has been the central theme of Hindi literature even in the initial period, but the fact is that in this either the life story of the woman remained in the center or her tragedy. In fact, women's awareness of their identity, self-consciousness and existence gradually developed in post-independence Hindi literature. Self-awareness, consciousness of one's rights and existence emerged as the main force of women's discussion.

Full textAbstract:
While the need for equal access to civil, political as well as economic, social and cultural rights is clear under the international law, the adoption of the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination against women in 1979 made this even clearer. Despite this positive progress, the abuse of refugee women's rights is one of the basic underlying root causes of their marginalisation and violence in their countries of asylum. This paper presents a critical review on the development of refugee women's rights at the international levels and national levels. It provides an array of scholarly literature on this issue and examines the measures taken by the international community to curb the problem of violence against women in their various provisions through the instruments set. It is cognizant of the fact that even if conflict affects both refugee women and men, the effects on women refugees are deep-reaching, due to the cultural strongholds they face. An important aspect of this paper is that it is conceptualised against the fact that refugee women face the problem of sexual and gender based first as refugees and second as women, yet, their rights are stumbled upon. Often times they have been rendered "worthless victims" who are only in need of humanitarian assistance than active participants committed to change their plight through their participation in political, economic and social participation in their societies. Scholars have taken notice of the fact that women's rights in refugee settings have been marginalized and call for a need to incorporate their perspectives in the planning and management of refugee settings in which they live. Underpinning this discussion is feminism theory which gives a clear understanding of the root cause of refugee women's problems. Finally, this paper suggests that these policies should be translated into action at local, national international and regional levels to ensure sustainable peace.

Full textAbstract:
This article aims to discover the element of partiality and political representation in women's writings, focusing on authors from the United States and Pakistan. Its goal is the identification of recurring and negligent themes in a profound assessment covering four centuries of women’s narratives and compelling anthologies. The woman literature revolves around women's challenges and their rights. It seems to be chauvinism to ignore other vital themes in literature. Though man is also abused sexually, morally and psychologically in a society being part of a marginalised member of the patriarchal society, women were felt to be inferior and unwise to men. Therefore, they have self-centred themselves in literature. This analysis aims to expand the circle of the themes outside feminism so that female literature might grow intellectually and universally and cover essential literary theories beyond discrimination. This quest will assist in finding out the neglected themes in literature by the women writers on each side. For the collection of data, qualitative research methodology has been adopted. This research helps women writers reflect all humans' emotions without showing women's literature as the theory of political representation. This article helps to draw expected creative conclusions about neglected themes by women writers.

AbstractOf the 45 Muslim majority countries in the world, 42 have signed the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. While this does indeed signal a motive to improve women's rights, there is wide disparity in terms of which countries expand rights and which do not. Social science literature suggests that in addition to economic factors like wealth and oil resources, or political factors like the quality of democracy in the country, Islamic culture may be at odds with the Western conception of women's rights. We posit that Muslim countries are unique in this regard due to religious pressures that often conflict with conventional measures of human rights. Using data from the Cingranelli-Richards Human Rights Dataset and the Religion and State Project, we find that Muslim countries that restrict the influence of fundamentalist religion in the government and population improve women's economic and social rights.

Full textAbstract:
Promoting the ratification of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) was a key objective of the transnational women's movement of the 1980s and 1990s. Yet, few studies examine what factors contribute to ratification. The small body of literature on this topic comes from a world-society perspective, which suggests that CEDAW represented a global shift toward women's rights and that ratification increased as international NGOs proliferated. However, this framing fails to consider whether diffusion varies in a stratified world-system. I combine world-society and world-systems approaches, adding to the literature by examining the impact of women's and human rights transnational social movement organizations on CEDAW ratification at varied world-system positions. The findings illustrate the complex strengths and limitations of a global movement, with such organizations having a negative effect on ratification among core nations, a positive effect in the semiperiphery, and no effect among periphery nations. This suggests that the impact of mobilization was neither a universal application of global scripts nor simply representative of the broad domination of core nations, but a complex and diverse result of civil society actors embedded in a politically stratified world.

Full textAbstract:
South Asian writers’ partition accounts attest that women from all backgrounds of culture and religion were the worst victims of the newly-created India-Pakistan border of 1947. Women's bodies were kidnapped, stripped naked, raped, disfigured (their breasts were cut off), engraved with religious symbols, and slain before being transported in train carriages to the "other" side of the border. Taking the romantic example of Bapsi Sidhwa’s Ice Candy Man/Cracking India (1988), we will look at the symbol of women's breasts, following on the theories of Judith Butler and Michel Foucault on power and governmentality, framed within the rhetoric of Mother India, where violence against women is a commonplace Bapsis Sidhwa’s theory of women's rights. As a result, we will examine the passage of sacks of damaged breasts as a horrible testimony to Partition history and as a metaphor for border crossing, undermining the nation's stability. In light of Julia Kristen's abjection theory, we will view female corpses with damaged breasts as abject who push the bounds of normative society, exposing its frailty. Finally, the novel covered in this document can be seen both as a disgraceful condemnation of a brutal de/colonial process and as a witch for feminist resistance (doing Herstory). The agony and grief of mutilated women's bodies are depicted in authors such as Bapsi Sidhwa to reveal the dialectic of history/body (the trajectory of the violation of women's rights).

Feminism is widely developed in ideology and practice. A movement that elicits a great deal of individual and collective sympathy in order to fight for women’s rights, despite it continues to intersect with the subjectivity of various experiences of women’s oppression. The dynamic movement of this group, as well as the rights advocated for, contribute to the perception that feminism has gone too far. Literature studies was conducted to comprehend a tie-in the fragmentation of feminist groups to the emergence of this perception, which in turn influences rousing an anti-feminism perspective. Feminism supposed to be at the middle ground which prioritizes gender equality and justice, reduce gender bias, and base its ideology and activities on gender neutrality to address women's issues more objectively.

Full textAbstract:
The position of equality in political rights is still being studied seriously and is full of pros and cons in various countries. Straightening the role of women's rights in politics is extensive homework for this nation. Even in today's conditions, the representation of women in the political sphere at the beginning of the struggle was unacceptable to male politicians and the public. The literature review aims to rethink the relationship between women's political rights, digital safety skills, and general elections. All three have a common thread for measuring the existence of women in the political realm. This condition can be seen from the role of women as political actors who run for office, as well as women as owners of voting rights in general elections. Both can be viewed as subjects and objects in general elections to restore the spirit of democracy in Indonesia. The answer to the above problems is establishing digital safety as a digital literacy ecology. The need for this condition refers to women's political struggle to get crucial political affirmation.

This study revealed the condition of women during a disaster in Indonesia, roles, rights and their fulfilment, and anticipates the problem of women's vulnerability in disasters. The method used was a literature study. Sources of data were from books, journals, research reports, mass media and other relevant literature sources. Data validation was done using source triangulation. The data was analyzed using interactive analysis. The results show that the condition of women during a disaster in Indonesia was faced with various vulnerabilities which resulted in a large percentage of the number of victims. However, in of such vulnerabilities, women could act as a driving force for their families and their environment to take disaster risk reduction actions. Women struggled to maintain the survival of their families and society, although, on the other hand, their rights tended to be neglected due to gender-biased socio-cultural constructions. The rights of women could not be properly guaranteed and it became even more difficult during a disaster. Women's vulnerability can be anticipated with gender-based sustainable disaster responses education that involves men and women with attention to women's rights during a disaster through formal and non-formal education.

The high rate of violence against women requires special attention for the Palembang City Government, in this case, the implementing technical agency, namely the Office of Women's Empowerment, Child Protection and Community Empowerment (DP3APM) of Palembang City. The absence of regional regulations/policies regulating the protection of women has resulted in weak implementation of the protection program and fulfillment of women's rights. This study aims to identify and analyze the implementation of the protection program and fulfillment of women's rights at the Office of Women's Empowerment, Child Protection and Community Empowerment (DP3APM) Palembang City and the factors that influence it. This study used qualitative methods with a total of 16 informants.

Women's political rights are often debated. Often deprived of women's rights. This is because women are often only involved in domestic or domestic matters. Basically, women's rights are the same as men's rights, including citizenship rights, education rights, opinion rights, and other rights. In connection with the position of women in obtaining political rights in the Islamic system and concept, it has been widely expressed. Some argue that Islam does not recognize political rights for women. There are those who view the same thing, there are also those who argue that Islam establishes and recognizes political rights for women except for being leaders of the state. This paper tries to describe the political rights of women in Islam and also explores the constitution of the Indonesian state. The method used is to conduct research on several literatures on politics in general regarding women's political rights and then compare them with one another.

Full textAbstract:
Margaret Brazier has argued that, in the literature on reproductive technology, women's “right” to reproduce is privileged, pushed, and subordinated to patriarchal values in such a way that it amounts to women's old “duty” to reproduce, dressed up in modern guise. I agree that there are patriarchal assumptions made in discussions of whether women have a right to select which embryos to implant or which fetuses to carry to term. Forcing ourselves to see women as active, rational decisionmakers tends to counteract any lingering patriarchal assumptions. But rational decisionmaking requires information. Voting wisely requires information about the candidates. Taking women's reproductive rights seriously means taking seriously women's need for relevant information to make rational decisions, including decisions about which embryos to implant or alter. I argue that preimplantation genetic profiles and prenatal test information should be made available to prospective parents, especially prospective mothers, unless doing so threatens to harm the resulting child or the larger society in specifiable and important ways.

Women's subordination is not new in the world. As society became human rights conscious, many countries started abrogating or scrapping discriminatory laws and attitudes towards women, in particular married women. However, it has taken Eswatini more than 100 years to deal with the fact that the common law principle of marital power discriminates against women.
This paper traces the reception of marital power into the legal framework of Eswatini and how advocacy groups on women's rights and freedoms have opposed women's subordination, fortified by research. This paper presents a desktop review of selected literature and case laws touching on women's emancipation in Eswatini.
This research work is significant in that it adds to the body of knowledge by recording the origins of women's subjection to marital power and their eventual emancipation in the landmark case of Sacolo v Sacolo (1403/2016) [2019] SZHC 166 (30 August 2019).

AbstractHow has economic reform transformed states, societies, and state-society relations in the countries of the Maghreb (North Africa)? With a focus on Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia, the paper identifies new actors, opportunities, and challenges observed in the Maghreb. Specifically, it examines how—in an era of globalization characterized by neoliberal economic policy but also the worldwide diffusion of norms of women's rights—state strategies for integration into the global economy have been affecting women's economic participation and social rights and have, in turn, led to women's collective action for legal equality and social-economic rights. As such, state-society relations are being renegotiated in terms of both new social and new gender contracts. In examining recent reforms of family codes and labor laws, the paper elucidates the contradictory effects of globalization on women and the complicated relations between states and feminist organizations in the region. The argument is informed conceptually by world-systems theory, feminist political economy, theories of citizenship, and the social movements literature.

This article examines the development of gender understanding in Indonesia. Specifically, the understanding of gender discussed in this article comes from the perspective of one of the leading Islamic organizations in Indonesia, namely Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), which has its own way of thinking in defending women's rights. This article aims to show that Nahdlatul Ulama's concept of defending women is different from the concept of feminism that emerged in Western civilization, namely by looking at the capabilities and capabilities of women themselves. Therefore, I use the words "Defending Women But Not Feminism" with the intention of emphasizing that the way NU defends women's rights is not based on the feminist paradigm way of thinking that has developed in modern times. The research methodology used in this research is a qualitative approach. This article uses library research procedures, especially analytical descriptive methods. This research uses book data, relevant literature, and other important sources. This research uses document analysis as a qualitative research methodology. The results of this research show that NU's thinking paradigm in defending women's rights is different from Western feminism. NU has a different view in defending women's rights, namely "beyond feminism”.

Introduction: Maluku Province has a patrilineal customary law community, whose blood ties follow the father's line. The rights and obligations of the child are determined by the father and his relatives.Purposes of the Research: The research was conducted using an empirical juridical approach, which is a descriptive study of qualitative analysis.Methods of the Research: This research tries to describe the justice for the female heirs over the land of the dati in Leihitu, Central Maluku district. The results of collecting, finding data and information through a literature study on the assumptions used in answering the problems in this research, will be tested inductively-verificatively on the latest facts found in the community.Results of the Research: Boys have an important position in the family, while girls don't really benefit. In the distribution of land inheritance, women are not given full rights, because it is considered that women will marry and then leave with their husband's family. This reason is not to limit women's rights, nor is it because of following patrilineal kinship, but this is because during the Hongi Cruise the men take a long voyage with tough challenges, which a woman cannot do. Women in Leihitu, Central Maluku Regency, do not get inheritance rights, they only have the right to enjoy as long as they are not married. If they are married, then they do not have the right to enjoy it again, but they will have the right to enjoy dati in their husband's family

AbstractThe Mexican Constitution was revised in 1992 to foster privatization of agrarian reform lands. Legal inheritance protections for spouses were removed, and individual title holders (85 percent male) obtained rights to sell land formerly considered family patrimony. State disinvestment contributed to economic crisis in the land-reform sector. This longitudinal study of four communities in northern and central Mexico explores the counterintuitive effects of agrarian law, customary inheritance norms, and women's changing roles in household economies and community sociopolitics on the material and ideological bases for women's entitlement to land. Quantitative and qualitative data show that women's rights to land under customary inheritance norms were upheld locally and that women's control of family land increased along with growing responsibility for production and community activism. Women's property rights were enhanced rather than eroded as families and communities struggled to meet the economic and social challenges posed by the neoliberal agenda.

Full textAbstract:
The abstract is the humble attempt to present the role of women and their plight with respect to the modern novels in general but in the novels of Virginia Woolf and Anita Desai in particular. As we know that Feminism is a rapidly developing ideology and a women's liberation movement that aims to liberate women from their oppression by a male-dominated society for a long time. In its true sense, feminism is a call for greater recognition of women's accomplishments and rights. Feminist literature in English, such as Pride and Prejudice, is certainly not a recent awareness of women's rights. Although it certainly has come into its own in recent times. The assessment and examination of the depiction of women characters without help from anyone else or in relationship with their male partners, and the enthusiasm for female creators. The fact that these are now widely accepted critical practice from a feminist perspective is noteworthy. Both the writers Virginia Woolf and Anita Desai have tried to portray their characters in the way that discusses about the freedom struggle's legacy of gender equality, women's constitutional rights, the emphasis on women's education, and the new awareness among women brought about by electronic media are among the indigenous contributing factors. The Indian woman caught between tradition and modernity, burdened by the past and the present to abandon her aspirations, is the core of aspirations, and feminism in Indian literature is centered on her. In literary terms, it begins a search for one's identity and the self-definition of a woman.

Full textAbstract:
Moroccan family code reform (mudawanah al-usrah) passed in 2004 after a long and dramatic process promoted by Moroccan women against retreating Islamists and male domination. This paper reviews Muslim family law (mudawanah al-usrah) in Marocco. Based on a literature research method that uses a normative juridical approach with a statutory approach, this paper aims to discuss the challenges and opportunities in guaranteeing women's rights in Moroccan family law. The study indicates that mudawanah al-usrah is a meeting point between Islamic rules and international conventions, providing a new identity for Moroccan society, especially women and their rights. This reform was also influenced by the Islamic feminist movement, which produced reforms to improve gender equality in Moroccan society. That was also expected to provide an overview of the protection of women's rights in family law, especially in Morocco, and become material for evaluation in its implementation in society. This study is also expected to be a reference for activists of family law studies to continue to develop the protection of women's rights in Islamic family law.

This intersectional study investigates the harmonisation of Islamic law and human rights in the context of empowering Muslim women through Islamic economics. This study applies an intersectional approach in carrying out the library research method with literature analysis carried out integratively and comprehensively to explore and review various literature sources relevant to the research topic, including journal articles, books, research reports, policy documents, and other related sources of information. The results show that harmonisation between Islamic law and human rights in empowering Muslim women through Islamic economics significantly impacts achieving gender equality and supporting sustainable development. The complexity of Muslim women's identities influenced by factors such as religion, gender, and social class demands a holistic and integrated policy approach in the economy. While the Islamic economy offers great potential to enhance the role of women as agents of change and key drivers of economic development, the incompatibility between Islamic law and human rights conventions and issues of gender inequality points to the need for more inclusive legal and policy reforms. Identifying and recognising these challenges underscores the importance of adopting a comprehensive and coordinated approach. Specific measures that need to be strengthened include inter-agency cooperation, legal and policy reforms to support better gender equality, capacity building of women in the Islamic economic sector, and raising public awareness on the importance of women's empowerment. As such, this study enriches the academic literature and offers practical guidance for policymakers, stakeholders in the Islamic economy, and the general public in advocating and implementing effective and sustainable women's empowerment.

From the early 20th century to the present day, Iran has undergone various political changes that have affected the regulation of family law in the country. From the codification of civil law in 1928-1935 to the Islamic Revolution of 1979, various political regimes have influenced the interpretation and implementation of family law, which in turn affected the status and rights of women and society as a whole. This article attempts to analyze the evolution of family law in Iran, focusing on the impact of politics on gender equality and human rights. It also discusses the challenges and controversies that have arisen in relation to the reinterpretation of Islamic family law following the Islamic Revolution. Although some reforms aimed to improve women's protection, in many cases, new interpretations of family law have reinforced patriarchal norms and restricted women's freedom in various aspects of life. Through a literature review and policy analysis, this article presents significant changes in family law regulations, including restrictions on polygamy, divorce proceedings, and inheritance rights, and how they affect women's rights in Iran. The results show that political influences on family law in Iran have had a significant impact in the context of gender equality and human rights. From the codification of civil law to new interpretations after the Islamic Revolution, various political regimes have shaped legal frameworks that affect the status and rights of women and society as a whole. While some reforms have aimed to improve women's protection, in many cases, reinterpretations of Islamic family law have reinforced patriarchal norms and restricted women's freedoms. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of the relationship between politics and family law is essential to strive for more inclusive and progressive changes in order to achieve gender equality and human rights in Iran.

Background: The formal feminist movement in Madhesh emerged in reaction to the discriminatory, oppressive, and autocratic actions perpetrated by the state, entwined with concurrent political movements, effectively spotlighting and confronting prevalent social issues. Feminist movements in Nepal have played a significant role in bringing about major changes in various aspects of society, advocating for gender equality, women's rights, and social justice. Methods: This research adopted a qualitative method with an intersectionality theoretical framework to explore the firsthand experiences of Madheshi women who have actively engaged in feminist movements. The research collected data from face-to-face in-depth interviews with 28 women political leaders, 8 women journalists, 15 women rights activists, and 3 family members of women rights activists and political leaders with purposive sampling. Similarly, this study also gathered the perceptions of 14 Madheshi men from various sectors. Results: This paper explores Madheshi women’s contribution to feminist and other movements in Nepal. It examines the challenges that they faced during the movements. The study underscores the heterogeneous nature of Madheshi women's involvement, illustrating varied roles across historical contexts. The findings of the study revealed that Madheshi women are challenging patriarchies through various means. Conclusion: There is a significant gap in the documentation of the Madheshi women's and feminist movements in Nepal. Despite their active participation in feminist movements, their voices and concerns persistently remain on the periphery. Novelty: The research documents the contribution, challenges, and strategies of Madheshi women adopted by Madheshi women. It also addresses the gap in the existing literature regarding the Madheshi women.

Full textAbstract:
The number of child marriages has recently increased significantly, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic. This is caused by assumption that child marriage will save the child's financial and social security. In fact, child marriage actually causes many problems, especially regarding the abandonment of women's rights in domestic life. This is contrary to the purpose of marriage in Islam which is to create harmonious, prosperous and happy household. This study aims to gain an in-depth understanding on the forms of abandonment of women's rights in child marriage cases and how the Islamic family law perspective percieves it. The data were obtained through observation, interviews, and literature searches. The research location was conducted in Palembang City, South Sumatra, Indonesia. Data analysis is carried out with an interpretive approach to give meaning so that it has coherence between one another. The research findings show that the forms of abandonment of women's rights in child marriage cases include three types, namely the abandonment of economic rights, human rights and reproductive rights. The abandonment occurs because of community’s legal culture which considers the action as commonplace in the household. Even, the victim of abandonment allowed herself stuck in that position. According to Islamic family law, the abandonment of women's rights in the household is an act of disobedience against justice as well husband’s reluctance to the wife. It is a form of violation of the commands of Allah and His Messenger which is is also emphasized in the legislation with the existence of both social and criminal sanctions.

The study of women's issues, the feminist movement, as an academic discipline, and the first curriculum were established in the University of San Diego in 1970. The women’s problems have been mainly studied in the framework of traditional social and humani-tarian disciplines, mostly in literature, philosophy and psychology.The active dissemination of feminist ideas in Turkey after World War II, espe-cially in the late 1970s, and the creation of various feminist societies and journals provided a solid foundation for the establishment of research centers in universities, that study women's issues.There are two directions in the study of women's issues in Turkish universities and academic circles. The first one includes research centers that bring together rep-resentatives of various disciplines and fields of science. They deal with gender, the economic and social status of women, education and health. The second approach combines all those trends that are associated with the social faculty.The level of female activity in Turkey is much lower than in Europe. The status of a woman here is also characterized by its specific development.In the 1980s and 1990s, the feminist movement in Turkey became more and more active. New women's communities, magazines, newspapers, libraries were creat-ed, and women's conferences with an active participation of Turkish women were held both in Turkey and all around the world.It can be concluded that the women's movement in the higher and academic sys-tem of Turkey after World War II led to a new political process that raised the issue of gender equality. The struggle of women for emancipation played an important role in the formation of Turkish society.Despite some achievements regarding women's issues, there is still gender ine-quality, violation of women's rights in Turkish society, what indicates the fact that the women’s problems are still relevant in republican Turkey.
