A national consolidation meeting for Gender and Child Studies Centers (PSGA) took place at UIN Siber Syekh Nurjati Cirebon from June 30 to July 3, 2026. The gathering brought together hundreds of academics, researchers, religious scholars (kiai and nyai) from across Indonesia. The event served not only as a platform for academic exchange through an International Conference but also as a pivotal moment for strengthening macro-religious policies in response to national social dynamics.
The forum addressed the discourse on gender justice within Islam, which often faces challenges from cultural biases. It presented a comprehensive perspective rooted in classical texts while emphasizing modern relevance. German academic Katrin Bandel, PhD, initiated discussions by dissecting the cultural factors and institutional power structures that have historically perpetuated sexual violence in formal institutions.
