GERAKAN KESETARAAN GENDER ANTARA MODERATISME ISLAM DAN RADIKALISME BARAT

Abstract

Equality of position is the right of every person, 
including women. In historical records, women are very vulnerable 
to facing injustice, which results in their rights being harmed. As a 
result, the position of women becomes marginalized and even their 
position becomes subordinated. To respond to this gender injustice, 
various movements emerged that sought to minimize the margin of 
injustice. Unfortunately, this kind of movement is sometimes too 
excessive, so it keeps women away from their natural nature. This 
article seeks to compare the views of the gender equality movement 
between Western radicalism, which in fact distracts women from 
their nature, and moderate views of Islam, which places women in 
their natural nature. This study was examined qualitatively with a 
comparative approach. This study concluded that the gender 
equality movement proposed by Western radicals actually led 
women to new problems that could not balance rights and 
obligations. While the equality movement proposed by moderate 
Muslims seeks to place women's rights and obligations in a 
balanced manner so as not to cause new problems rooted in the 
imbalance of rights and obligations.
