PSGA UIN Jakarta Addresses Gender Issue through Familial Approach in the Parents Day Seminar

Harun Nasution Auditorium, UIN Online News — The Center for Gender and Child Studies (PSGA) at Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta hosted a National Seminar entitled "Women's Multi-Roles in the Context of Parents' Day" at the Harun Nasution Auditorium on Thursday (20/11/2025).

Concurrently, PSGA UIN Jakarta unveiled the E-Book Guidelines for the Prevention and Handling of Sexual Violence (PPKS), demonstrating the university's commitment to enhancing the education and awareness of the academic community concerning the prevention and management of sexual violence incidents.

On behalf of the Rector of UIN Jakarta, Vice Rector for Student Affairs Prof. Ali Munhanif, M.A., Ph.D., conveyed his gratitude for the observance of Father's Day and Mother's Day as one occasion.

"Indonesian society acknowledges only today as Mother's Day," he explained. "Then, how about the father?" "The role of father is often overlooked. As a result, a one-month interval between November 12th and December 22nd is designated as Father's Day, while December 22nd is recognized as Mother's Day," he added.

PSGA UIN Jakarta is dedicated to enhancing violence prevention initiatives, particularly concerning women, with the introduction of the E-Book Guidelines for the Prevention and Management of Sexual Violence (PPKS).

"Rest assured, PSGA is initiating an anti-sexual violence guide within our community. Soon, we will demonstrate our collective effort to eradicate violence against women in all educational institutions," he stated.

Prof. Amelia Fauzia, Ph.D., Head of LP2M UIN Jakarta, conveyed the importance of family as the first line of defense against violence.

"Violence is often perpetrated by the closest social circle of a person. Consequently, the family must remain functional to ensure their daughter's and son's well-being," she explained.

Dr. Wiwi Siti Sajaroh, M.Ag., Head of the PSGA UIN Jakarta, underscored that this seminar aims to expand participants' perspectives, enhance inter-institutional collaborations, and stimulate innovative concepts in the pursuit of justice and protection for women and children.  

"When we learn how to maintain a good relationship with our relatives, it becomes the foundation for a harmonious society," she concluded.
