Women In Leadership: Tantangan Perempuan dalam Menduduki Posisi Kepemimpinan

Rahmah Septika Dewi, Windi Ariya Ningsi

Abstract


Perempuan masih kurang terwakili pada posisi kepemimpinan di bidang politik, organisasi, dan lembaga pendidikan meskipun partisipasi mereka dalam pendidikan dan dunia kerja meningkat. Penelitian ini bertujuan memetakan tantangan utama perempuan dalam menduduki posisi kepemimpinan dan merumuskan kerangka konseptual yang mengintegrasikannya, dengan perhatian pada konteks Muslim Indonesia. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian kepustakaan kualitatif dengan tinjauan literatur naratif dan analisis tematik terhadap artikel jurnal, buku ilmiah, dan laporan lembaga tentang gender dan kepemimpinan, dilengkapi kajian tafsir dan gender dalam Islam. Hasilnya adalah Kerangka Empat Lapis Tantangan: struktural-kelembagaan, kultural-stereotipik, teologis-interpretatif, dan personal-relasional, yang diperkuat oleh identitas yang beririsan. Keempat lapis saling menguatkan, dan lapis teologis-interpretatif, yang jarang menjadi kategori analitis tersendiri, sangat relevan bagi masyarakat Muslim. Pembacaan kontekstual atas Al-Qur'an dan hadis, pembaruan kebijakan, mentoring, dan pendidikan Islam yang responsif gender diusulkan sebagai intervensi pada tiap lapis. Kerangka ini bersifat konseptual dan perlu diuji secara empiris.
