Gender Injustice in the Perspective of Prospective Teachers of Pancasila and Civic Education Universitas Negeri Surabaya

Abstract

The patriarchal gender values that are so in life have hegemonies individuals to move individuals to think, behave, and behave according to the truth of these values. The strength of this hegemony can make individuals lose their critical power, even when injustice is present or experienced. Therefore, intervention is needed to "change" the power of the dominant values to build new perceptions, which are needed to disturb the power of the influence of these patriarchal values. This paper is intended to describe students' perceptions of gender injustice. Data were collected using discussions and assignments to 48 students who were taking Gender and Education classes, and then the data were analyzed qualitatively. Based on the study conducted, it can be concluded that the research subject stated that there were many injustices in life that they were not aware of. The forms of injustice that occur are the domestic work burden on women, the marginalization of women in work, and limited development opportunities for women. Understanding and expressing injustice is the beginning to create discomfort in the value system which then creates a desire to promote gender equality.
