Not The Same But Equal

 

A Training on Masculinity and Femininity

 

 

 

 

 

 

Equality between men and women should be established in human life. The realization of one’s awareness towards the issue requires a process of understanding and reflection on the basic nature of men and women. It is true that there is still a gap between men and women which affects different treatment between men and women, such as the opportunity to learn and work, the right to give opinion and make decision. Commonly people still consider that man is more powerful than women that is considered as a weak creature.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta through Masculinity and Femininity training is trying to build awareness among youth and students about the equality of men and women. The training was held on Friday – Sunday, November 27 – 29 at Wisma Pojok Indah, Condongcatur, Yogyakarta. This training aimed to give correct information about masculinity and femininity in the understanding of gender and  further, students are able to analyze man and woman equality in Indonesia context and finally they are able to campaign it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pdt. Hendri Wijayatsih, MA, a lecturer and member of the Working Group of Duta Wacana Christian University, Yogyakarta, on Gender Justice Mission 21, facilitated the training and and revealed that there is still a misunderstanding between sex and gender. She said that sex is a biologically inherent in men and women, while gender is related with men and women differentiation based on social and cultural construction.

 

 

 

A session on Masculinity and Femininity in Nusantara Tradition (Indonesian context) was presented by Dr. Inayah Rohmaniyah, M. Hum., MA, a lecturer and consultant at Islamic Indonesia Unversity, Yogyakarta at Indonesian Community for Fair and Equal (KIAS Indonesia). She revealed that the equality of men and women in Indonesia has not completely established and there is still different treatment influenced by local culture. As a result, various understandings about gender grow differently in many regions. The forms of inequality are covering from: 1) stereotypes (negative label), 2)subordination, the position of superior and inferior, 3) marginalization, 4) triple burden, and 5) gender-based violence.

 

 

 

Communication skill is very important in the campaign of the equality of men and women in society. This process begins with one’s understanding about him/herself as well as the social context in which she/he is growing. It helps to understand the messages to be delivered, to be able to design a certain message in an interesting and unique designs, also to be smart using a media, either orally, printed material or social media. This topic was facilitated by Majes Maestra, from PKBI Bantul.

 

 

 

Setyoko, S.H., M.H.I., a law practitioner from P2TPA DIY explained some facts that domestic violences are still going on until now, a husband to his wife, a wife to her husband, and parents to their children. One violence will trigger another violence, so, domestic violence must be stopped now. In addition, he also explained steps to process legal complaint if we got violence. A victim, after suffering from violence, should go directly to hospital and ask a vise, then report to Women and Children's Services Unit (PPA) in local police office.

 

 

 

  

The final step of this training was designing a project work. Project work was a result of participants’ reflection toward the materials and topic he/she was interested to. The results should be interesting, unique and well-designed. Finally, the participants were encouraged to publish the project to public as a form of gender education, equality between men and women.

 

 

 

Let’s young people, do equality between men and women! (TRU).

Sharing, not always with your wealth
A Follow-up Activity at Hafara
 
 
Giving does not mean to receive back and sharing does not always with our wealth. These words encouraged students of Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta to visit Hafara for the second time on November 20, 2015. Hafara is an institution that takes care psychotic patients, street children and psychiatric disorder persons in Yogyakarta.
 
 

 

This institution is located far from the bustle of the city, giving touch of serenity, doing care and delivering a specific mentoring because the teaching methods in Hafara is of course different from the general way. Mr. Bowo, the head of Hafara has some experiences as a resident before he founded this institution. His experiences to live on street, which often clashed with Satpol PP (civil police officers) brought him to a concern feeling and taught him to share with some volunteers in Hafara. Even, the Hafara’s shelter uses local village's treasure ground.
 
 
The residents of Hafara itself was already familiar with the students of Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta coming there at that time. It was depicted from enthusiastic smiles of a psychotic old man and woman and their caregivers when they welcame the students. "It’s been for a while since the first time you visited here." It was the first greeting from their lips. The atmosphere was getting cheerful when they interacted with the students by playing, singing, doing gymnastic and watching a movie together.
 
Although just simple things were done together, it made them happy. From the expression of the residents, students realized that their presence was very meaningful. “Time, love and attention were kinds of giving, even just simple things, it is meaningful”, said Indah who coordinated the group appreciated the students’s involvement.
 
Imelda, a nursing student of STIKES Bethesda shared her skill and knowledge by measuring blood pressure of the residents. "For a long time no one checked the blood pressure of the residents. Thank you for helping us”, said Mrs. Widya, the head of Hafara caregivers.
 
When they were watching Boncengan, a 15 minutes movie, the atmosphere became quiet. Although their eyes looked empty but they kept staring at the screen in front of them. After the movie was over, one student retold the story in simple words. In a brief, the film taught us not to do cheating when we want something.
 
 
After the activities were completed, the students left Hafara while the sky was getting dark. They asked students to come again someday. This visit taught us how we should keep sense of caring to others and do something for our community, as the spirit of Community Development Training: Elderly and Homeless that was held a few weeks ago. Hopefully it will bring a reflection for a meaningful life. (ITM)

More Than Just A Game
A volleyball tournament and vocal group competition
 
 
If you have seen a movie, Armageddon, you knew the story about how to find a right person to join a certain mission. It’s also nearly the same in the real world, although it is not exactly the same with the movie. The moment occured when Stube-HEMAT should have three teams in two days, to participate one championship of men's and women’s volleyball and vocal group held on November 14 – 16, 2015 by Oikumene Nusantara Community to strengthen networking among youth in Yogyakarta.
 
This community was founded two months ago, but their action was considered big as they were ‘dare’ enough to hold a championship. Its motivation is to make young Christians more productive, not be bordered by church building. They stepped out to communicate with other churches and reached a wider community. As the result, the participants are not only Christians but multi-religious ones.
 
Unexpected Help
When we faced difficulty to make a team, a help came unexpectedly from Nuel, a student from Alor and Frans, a Sumbanese. Both were activists of Stube-HEMAT. They tried hard to recruit friends to form volleyball teams. Finally, four women players were convinced by Frans to join the team.
 
Volleyball matches took place in indoor court of Yogyakarta State University on November 14, 2015. At the same time, the vocal group was formed by Indah (a work team of Stube-HEMAT) and David (a deputy of PMK ITY, a Stube-HEMAT activist from Central kalimantan), whose hobby are singing. They encouraged five students from PMK ITY having the same hobby. They practiced two songs, Tunjukkan Kuasamu (Nanaku) and Doa Kami (True Worshippers).
 
Know each other on volleyball court
Actually, once practice was much not sufficient to perform a match. Both teams of Stube were defeated on preliminary round. Stube women's team were defeated by Forsa, a team winning the tournament consisting of experienced players. While the men's team defeated by team from Sanata Dharma University volleyball team that becomes the runner up of the tournament. For common people, it was certainly disappointing, but our result was beyond our expectation. That we could form a team is a good job, moreover we played volleyball against giant teams, just like David versus Goliath. Although we just knew each other but we could show solidity to face the opponent.
 
Motivating Advice
Different field, different fortune as there were six groups listed on vocal group contest, but only two groups attended the contest on Sunday afternoon (15/11/2015) at GBI Shine. They were Stube team and KMK STPMD APMD team, a vocal group which was experienced in singing.
 
We felt free and happy when sing the songs. After the performance, the jury conveyed hard criticism to us, but we learned from it. Because of the performers were only two groups, at least, Stube locked as the runner up. We went home with upright head after a bowed head in two days ago.
 
The volleyball and vocal group competition reminds us how to be a perfect pottery needs process. Let's make a good work and continue the process of our life. (SRB).
