“…As IDPs (pengungsi), and represented by Nyai Tajul as the 'Shia women's leader,' these Shia women questioned where they should go to seek justice and protection. Due to religious discrimination and threats, women are dealt with injustice and insecurity (Walker and Galvin 2018).

This article explores expressions in how the local Shi'as Muslim women refugees define and interpret their religious identity and gender citizenship in post-authoritarian Indonesia. This article discusses the cases of Shias women from the Sampang Regency, East Java, Indonesia, in the aftermath of the 2012 conflict that made them internally displaced persons (IDPs, Indonesian: pengungsi). This study argues that religious identity and gender citizenship are constructed by these displaced Shias women concerning their belief as to what is considered 'true' in Islam, acquired from the 'Islamic traditions' of their local Islamic teacher (s). Their loyalty to a religious belief does not arise from any independent search for the 'true Islam' but rather from the doctrine of the teachers/spiritual leaders. Enforced loyalty to Shi'as in their everyday communal ritual practices has influenced the formation of these displaced women's religious identity as Shi'ias.
