Pemberdayaan Perempuan Berbasis Pesantren dan Social Entrepreneurship

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe the model of empowerment of women based on pesantren and social entrepreneurship. When women are still underestimated in the world of entrepreneurship, it is hoped that the pesantren-based social entrepreneurship model will be the solution. Because pesantren are now deeply rooted in the midst of Indonesian society, and there are very many in almost every region of the archipelago. thus it has enormous potential to provide solutions to current gender biases, especially in the development of female entrepreneurs.This research is a qualitative field research with descriptive analytic methods, literature study, reviewing documents, direct observation to the location, and interviews with related parties conducted by researchers to search for data sources. The Ethnographic Study that we carried out took the form of in-depth interviews with managers and members of Catering Ummahat Modern As Salam Surakarta Islamic Boarding School, which in fact they were women, even among them were widowed. In addition, we also conduct literature studies that are relevant to this research.The findings obtained are that the empowerment of women based on pesantren has been carried out in this ummahat catering business institution, using the empowerment model of widowed, disadvantaged, and former lay-off women. The result is they get material income for their lives which makes them more prosperous and happy. Also as a form of social entrepreneurship in the form of profit sharing from entrepreneurs they distribute to Zakat, infaq and alms and social benefits and skills development practices for members.

Islamic Boarding School Based on Women’s Empowerment and Equality

“…This peculiarity in the education system for women and men aims to form good character and morals as guided by Islam (Mannan, 2017). Both women and men have roles and can be potential assets for nationbuilding, therefore women and men must have equal opportunities to develop their abilities (Prasetiyawan and Rohimat, 2019). The specificity of the education system is not limited to distinguishing education because there is a subordination between the two but rather to maximize roles and functions based on the concept of gender relations and proportionality, that there are roles that need to be divided to be balanced for women and men.…”
