The impact of climate-induced disasters (floods) on genderbased violence and child marriage in West Java, Indonesia
(Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia, 2025-07-17) Mohammed, Islam Karem Rouby; Sonny Mumbunan
This Capstone project examines the impact of climate-induced disasters, particularly floods, on gender-based violence (GBV) and child marriage in West Java, Indonesia. The research is set against the backdrop of increasing flood events driven by climate change and growing concerns about their social consequences, especially for women and girls. West Java was selected as a case study due to its high population density, elevated disaster risk, and clear indicators of rising cases of GBV and early marriage during disaster periods. The study is based on a narrative literature review using secondary data, including reports from governmental and international institutions such as the National Disaster Management Authority (BNPB), the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection (MoWECP), and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), alongside academic studies published between 2016 and 2024. The research approach involved analyzing potential links between floods and increased violence against women and girls, as well as families’ engagement in harmful coping mechanisms such as child marriage. The findings indicate a possible connection between the rise in flood frequency and increased incidents of GBV and child marriage. Data show that during peak flood years—especially 2020 and 2021 there were significant increases in these social phenomena. The evidence suggests that displacement, the breakdown of social protection systems, and the absence of gender-sensitive planning in shelters all contribute to greater exposure of women and girls to violence and abuse. The study also highlights the role of cultural factors, particularly within Sundanese communities in West Java, in reinforcing these trends during crises. Traditional norms such as the concept of Pamali shape conservative expectations for girls’ behavior, making early marriage a socially acceptable response during emergencies. Government reports have documented sharp increases in applications for child marriage, especially in regions like Cirebon and Tasikmalaya, where economic vulnerability intersects with frequent flooding and weak protection systems. Although the study does not claim a direct causal relationship between flooding and these social issues, it points to a potential link that needs to conduct further empirical research both qualitative and quantitative to better understand how environmental and social factors interact over time and to determine the extent to which floods act as a trigger or accelerator for these harmful social outcomes. It also underscores the urgent need for disaster response policies that incorporate gender considerations and provide comprehensive protection for women and children during emergencies
Nurturing faith and morality : a broad approach to islamic education for early childhood
(Faculty of Islamic Studies Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara, 2025-02-01) Bano, Shehar
Islamic teaching for children helps them develop proper values and achieve their full growth through family support. During early childhood many basic moral beliefs and religious practices establish what a child becomes and what they believe in. According to Islamic principles early education builds all aspects of a child's development including their spiritual education. This research studies Islamic early childhood education to show how it follows modern teaching approaches while helping solve modern learning problems. The study combines Islamic teaching insights with modern educational theory plus real-world examples to show how everyone plays part in teaching children proper faith and ethics. This work combines classic Islamic teachings with hands-on learning designs to create a flexible system for religious growth combined with intellectual and social learning. Our results show that teaching Islamic values needs joint efforts between educators and parents who use technology while showing positive examples and telling stories. Our study demonstrates the need to blend traditional faith teaching with modern lesson styles so students become morally excellent and socially engaged learners.
Islamic public policy : fundamentals, historical and contemporary applications
(World Academy of Science Engineering and Technology, 2025-06-09) Bano, Shehar
This research presents the theoretical framework and real-world empirical implementations of Islamic public policy on present-day governments. The study explores how the principles of Islamic Shariah which are derived from the Quran and Sunnah may be applied in the modern states with a view to achieving justice and progress in present-day governance system. Thus, the present qualitative approach used secondary data through text analysis, as based on the conventional, classical Islamic sources and peer-reviewed articles and case studies. In this study, an evaluation of the historical and the current aspects of Islamic public policy as critiqued through the method of content analysis. Further it was observed that although the Islamic governance offers a full ethical agenda based on justice, equity and public interest yet it faces certain shortcomings in its practice, some of them are how can we explain the revealed truths in the light of modern world and the deficiency of competent scholars in the sphere of policy making. Such challenges were discovered to be tractable with a dynamic approach that accommodates ijtihad and partnerships between scientists and economist. Based on this study, it was found that the incorporation of Islamic ethics into policy system could offer a workable solution to current challenges of governance, not simply restricted to the Islamic countries only, but as part of the discussion on justice and governance in the international level as well. Islamic public policy was present as a model for contemporary management of the state, pointing out social justice, economic justice and the public good as its rationales.
Determining the relationship of regional and religious dynamics : perceptions from the Arabian Peninsula
(Design for Scientific Renaissance, 2024-12-25) Bano, Shehar
Regional and religious factors in the Arabian Peninsula have long received scholarly research from several scholars. But the interaction of both regional dimensions and religion on the politics, social and economic fabric of Arabia has not received ample research. This research aims to examine the impact of regional power politics and religious rivalry on local political processes and foreign politics of Arabian Peninsula states. A critical analysis of historical, political and religious literature is then undertaken the purposes of understanding the roles of regional and religious factors for state governance, security issues and international policies within the region. It is assumed that regional competition and religious factor plays an important role in the political behaviors and affiliations of Arabian Peninsula states. The identified dynamics are expected to give an insight on how these have transpired over time and how they shape socio-political context. This study contributes to a gap in prior research by examining the relationship between regional structures of power and religious sectarianism while the latter is seen as independent in other works. The contributions of the study are expected to increase the awareness of the dynamics of regional and religious factors within the Middle East with focus on the impact of the KSA Vision 2030 and the emerging role of the kingdom in the region. These findings are expected to be useful to policy makers and academics studying the geopolitical and socio-religious changes in the Arabian Peninsula.
Social status of transgender individuals in the prophetic era and in modern Pakistan
(Faculty of Ushuluddin and Dakwah Institut Agama Islam Negeri Madura, 2025-05-27) Bano, Shehar
The research study investigates how transgender people were treated in both the time of Prophet Muhammad and contemporary Pakistan which has led to major transformations in social responses and legal systems and religious doctrinal perspectives. Linking to research findings shows early Islamic society recognized and respected mukhannathun transgender people but modern Pakistan includes legal progress alongside continued social discrimination against transgender groups. The analysis of transgender rights reveals how religious beliefs interact with cultural heritage as well as modern lawmaking regarding transgender people's rights protection. Islamic principles of justice and compassion form the basis of inclusivity but social prejudices alongside historical changes have led to marginalization. Through the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2018 Pakistan has achieved legal recognition but social acceptance and legal recognition exist in significant tension with one another. This study entails multiple constraints which affect its effectiveness. The study of the Prophetic era depends mostly on scarce textual evidence which receives varied interpretations through different Islamic scholarly positions. The contemporary issues which transgender individuals in Pakistan experience are changing and need further research for understanding how legal changes specifically affect their everyday life. The research adds value to present transgender rights scholarship through its analysis of Islamic perspectives at different historical periods. The study performs a comprehensive analysis of transgender rights interactions between Prophet Muhammad's time and present-day Pakistan through documented comparative examinations. Future scholarly attention should adapt towards examining how Pakistani transgender rights can become practical while exploring religious scholar involvement and government decision making in creating inclusive Pakistan. Research that examines transgender rights approaches inside Muslim-majority nations will give important insights regarding Islamic perspectives on transgender matters.
