Women’s role as Peace Promoters to Suppress Social Conflicts in Indonesia

Women’s role as peace promoters and their contribution to inventing peace and post-conflict reconstruction need to be developed. Although this is a big challenge because in everyday life, the role of women as the closest promoters of peace at the grassroots level still encounters many obstacles (structural and cultural). Generally, society and families are influenced by the socio-cultural (traditional) position of women prevailing in certain areas.

Women’s role as mother, wife, sister and daughter help to rebuild social networks, revive the local economy, spread the nation's cultural heritage and promote family values that place the values of peace above all else. The potential to influence their husbands or male relatives to seek a more peaceful solution to the conflict should not be underestimated. Therefore, women need to be called for and involved in formulating peace and resolving occurring social conflicts. Women are not only victims and vulnerable, but they have great energy that can be used to overcome various negative excesses of social conflict. Women can play an important and strategic role in building long-term peace, especially in areas with the potential for large social conflicts.

There is no reason to keep women away from the (post-conflict) empowerment process in areas with high potential for conflict. Especially in areas that are objects of investment in the manufacturing and oil and gas industries. How to empower and increase women's capabilities in post-conflict conditions?

Women in Indonesia are in majority dependent on their husbands economically and most of them lack education, opportunities, or due to work. After the social conflict is resolved, women can become widows, and be the only breadwinners. Women have to face various obstacles to take up the position of making money. Women as breadwinners in the post-conflict period need to be improved. Women have to deal with major obstacles to rehabilitate their families and households’ economic condition. Therefore, there is a need for economic empowerment. Considering that many women rely on men/husbands, with the condition of women in rural areas who lack education, opportunities, or because they work for low wages or without wages.

In the post-conflict period, a sustainable empowerment program is needed to lead them to become reliable economic actors and build family resilience. In East Java, Indonesia, there’s such social conflict characteristics in Blitar Region—what stands out is the agrarian conflict, the Tuban District is an industrial, forest and agricultural conflict, the coast, and the main island of Madura shows the conflict of interest in the interests of the adherents of Islam between the leader and his followers (Sunni-Shiah school).
