This article aims to analyze the equal role of women in the public sphere in terms of Islamic theology. Discrimination against women due to race, nationality, or religion is a topic that is often discussed today. Looking at the position of women in various religious traditions can help find solutions to problems such as discrimination against women. Furthermore, this discrimination causes women to have limitations in the public sphere, thus suppressing women's productivity. This research aims to explain how the Qur'an can be interpreted to provide a more equitable theology of gender roles within the Islamic framework. The research strategy combines a qualitative descriptive approach with a literature review. Research questions were guided by Qur'anic verses and answered using literature sources, including books, scholarly journals, and the most popular online databases. The findings of this study show that the Qur'ān does not support discrimination based on gender. Regarding receiving a broad message, both men and women are given equal weight in the Qur'ānic framework. There are too many possible interpretations of the term "gender equality" to make any concrete conclusions. The solution to all the world's problems can be found in the Qur'ānic literature, which promotes gender equality through balance, fairness, and proportion. The Qur'an uses existing arguments to describe the importance of women's role in the public sphere, both as Servants and Caliphs. The role of women in the public sphere is different from that of men, but in terms of calculation, the portion assigned to women and men is relatively balanced. The idea that Islam is a religion of sexism is also not supported by the language and literature of the Qur'an. The author argues that the Qur'anic principles of gender equality can be applied to modern efforts to eliminate derogatory stereotypes.

In accordance with their constitutional prerogatives, members of the Church engage in activities that align with their designated roles and responsibilities. A review of both the history of the Church and the documents in force reveals that the Church, in its broadest sense, is concerned with the promotion of peace. Such areas are, by definition, those which fall within the purview of laypeople. The Second Vatican Council accorded particular attention to the promotion of social justice and peace, as well as to the apostolate of lay faithful. Consequently, the two areas were brought into contact and underwent further development. This paper presents the historical trajectory that has culminated in the most comprehensive positioning of the laity in the promotion of social justice, elucidating the legal distinctions pertaining to the most prevalent methods through which they can promote peace.
