    Ep. 162: Peace and Power: Gender, Extremism & Security in Indonesia | Dr. Suraiya Kamaruzzaman

    Peace in Indonesia cannot be achieved without confronting the violence and discrimination that women face every day. Dr. Suraiya Kamaruzzaman breaks down the interconnected crises, social and economic inequality, violent extremism, and gender-based violence — that define Indonesia's non-traditional security landscape, from Aceh to Papua. She challenges the use of religious interpretation to restrict women's rights and their participation in peacebuilding, while also celebrating the rise of women ulamas and gender-sensitive fatwas as a transformative force. This episode is essential listening for anyone who believes that sustainable peace must be built with — and by — women. This four-part episode series of She Talks Peace was recorded in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 1325, also known as the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Agenda. Across the series, we spoke with Dr. Rahimah Abdulrahim, Dr. Amporn Marddent, Mr. Ejaz Min Khant, Dr. Dicky Sofjian, and Dr. Suraiya Kamaruzzaman to reflect on the past, present, and future of the WPS Agenda.

    Ep 161 : From Reformasi to Reform: How Indonesia Navigates Religion, Power & Peace | Dr. Dicky Sofjan

    Since the turbulence of Indonesia's 1998 Reformasi movement, the country has charted a remarkable course toward religious harmony and inclusive governance. Dr. Dicky Sofjan joins She Talks Peace to examine how religious groups influence policy in the world's largest Muslim-majority democracy, and why religion itself is not the problem. He warns against the misuse of religious teachings to marginalize indigenous communities and calls on religious leaders to be champions of equity rather than exploitation. Dr. Sofjan highlights how academic institutions and women ulama are reshaping Islamic leadership from the ground up. This conversation offers vital lessons for peacebuilders, policymakers, and advocates across Southeast Asia and beyond.
