Coastal women’s double burden in mangrove management in Indonesia: a socio-legal perspective
Keywords:
Socio-legal; Double Burden; Coastal Women; Gender Equality; Women’s EmpowermentAbstract
Behind the global push for gender equality are many unresolved issues, especially in the South. Women, especially coastal women managing mangroves, bear a double burden. Feminist theory introduced the term “double burden” in the late 1970s, when more housewives and white women joined the workforce, changing the labour force structure. Feminist theory is used to examine coastal women’s double burden in mangrove maintenance. Qualitative socio-legal research uses interviews, participant observations, and literature reviews. The analysis used discourse analysis. The study found that men and women use mangroves differently based on their socioeconomic status. Men dominate mangrove conservation policies, neglecting women’s roles. This imbalance makes coastal women, who manage natural resources and conduct housework, work more. This gender inequity also marginalises women as “second-class citizens.” Gender stratification increases when nature and culture are viewed as separate, prohibiting women from participating in mangrove conservation decisions. Thus, women’s empowerment is the key to gender equality and mangrove ecosystem sustainability. Empowerment enhances access, involvement, control, and benefit.
