A. Rohmawati         Jurnal:             The Muslim World, 2020 (Vol. 110 Issue 4) Tebal:               16 halaman   Perempuan seringkali tidak mendapat ruang dalam dialog antar-agama. Sekalipun ada, peran perempuan kerap terbatas pada hal-hal yang kurang substantif dan kurang berpengaruh di ranah pembuatan keputusan. Hal ini menyebabkan forum dialog tidak representatif bagi aspirasi dan peran perempuan. Forum dialog maupun upaya binadamai lainnya yang tidak melibatkan   perempuan akhirnya menjadi tidak efektif dalam menciptakan kerukunan di masyarakat. Tokoh agama, pemimpin politik, diplomat, mediator dan peran lainnya dalam upaya binadamai masih banyak didominasi peran dan perspektif laki-laki. Hal ini juga dipengaruhi oleh kedudukan dan privilese laki-laki dal

Oleh: Raditya Darningtyas Ringkasan Buku Judul Buku:     Decolonizing Human Rights Pen ulis :           Abdullahi Ahmed An-Naim    Penerbit:          Cambridge University Press, 2001 Tebal:               v + 138 halaman   Pemenuhan hak asasi manusia (HAM) telah menjadi isu yang banyak dibicarakan sejak berkembangnya konsep dan rezim HAM internasional tahun 1945-1948. Perdebatan tentang HAM, baik di ranah konseptual maupun implementasi , kerap mewarnai pertemuan di antar a negara maupun aktor internasional dan domestik lainnya. Penegakan HAM yang konsisten dan merata juga masih menjadi tantangan. Mekanisme penegakan yang selama ini bergantung pada rezim hukum internasional dan institusi antarnegara dinilai kurang efektif dan bahkan melanggengkan praktik neokolonialisme yang kerap melanggar HAM alih-alih memastikan perlindungan HAM di banyak wilayah. Buku terbaru karya Abdullahi Ahmed An-Naim , Decolonizing Human Rights (Cambridge University Press, 2021) mengamini adanya ke

However, the tensions remain high in occupied East Jerusalem after the Israeli police stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound and fired tear gas at Palestinians after Friday prayers — only hours after the agreement. While many were momentarily relieved for the Egyptian-brokered ceasefire, this agreement alone doesn’t nece

  by: Albert Au & Raditya Darningtyas The flaws and injustices embedded in the Indonesian socio-economic systems have been exposed by COVID-19. From the way our BPJS National Health Program fails to provide essential services during these critical times to the inconsistencies between our central and regional governments are on policies surrounding Mudik . By treating the pandemic solely as a “health crisis”, we risk over-emphasizing healthcare over other growing problems in other sectors. In reality, the pandemic we are in isn’t an exclusively health-related phenomenon, its impact is widespread. The healthcare, labor, economy, agriculture, and the environment sectors overlap more than they seem. If anything, the ongoing pandemic has exposed their close relationship with one another. Our government, once an advocate of a “health-centric” approach to the crisis, has switched gears to an economic one with the introduction of the “new normal” protocols. Further illustrating how t

Edith heard Vibhav Maniktala howled with laughter from the other side of the hall and glanced across in time to see him holding Darren in a head-lock, rubbing his knuckles on Darren’s scalp. She smiled then turned her full attention back to loathing Talita Damian.             ‘So I heard you were unemployed,’ she was saying.             ‘Well I prefer to think of myself as self-employed.’             ‘As an author?’             ‘It’s just for a year or two, a Sabbatical of some sort.’             ‘But you haven’t actually had anything published?’             ‘Not as yet. Although I have actually been paid a small advance to – ‘             ‘Hm,’ said Talita skeptically. ‘Rita Darningtyas has had four novels published now.’             ‘Yes, I’ve been made aware of that. Several times now.’             ‘ And  she has four kids. With a twin!’             ‘Well. There you go.’             ‘Have you seen my two?’ Not far from where
