Violence occurs as a result of unequal relations between men and women in Indonesian families, which is caused by many factors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the significant factors is the family legal system and cultural constructs that still do not treat men and women fairly and equally. This is what led to the establishment of Alimat,\u201d Maria told NU Online in Room Sanggabuana 3, Hotel Santika Premiere, Jl Harapan Indah Boulevard No. 10-12 Medan Satria, Bekasi, West Java, on Wednesday (16\/12).<\/p>\n<p>The second Alimat Congress, themed \u201cRealizing a Just and Dignified Muslim Family,\u201d she continued, actually originated from the high incidence of domestic violence. \u201cOur solution focuses on strengthening one\u2019s mindset. At the same time, we provide alternatives, including arguments sourced from religion as well as policies or other texts,\u201d said Maria.<\/p>\n<p>According to Maria, Alimat, whose name originates from the Arabic word meaning \u201cwise woman,\u201d is not limited to religious matters alone. \u201cThe term \u2018ulama\u2019 does not refer solely to religious scholars. Alimat brings together religious scholars with experts from other disciplines. This perspective is integral to the analysis conducted by Alimat. It serves as the binding force for this movement,\u201d she elaborated.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about the differences between Alimat and Fatayat, Muslimat, Nasyiatul Aisyiah, and others, the former Chairperson of PP Fatayat NU emphasized that they are organizations bound by membership and organizational structures. \u201cIn Alimat, it\u2019s more fluid. Because the movement is not tied to a single institution. It\u2019s the sense of community we build here,\u201d she stressed.<\/p>\n<p>Maria noted that the foundation of understanding and movement within civil society organizations appears insufficiently comprehensive. In contrast, Alimat combines action and reflection, alongside strengthening the discourse itself. \u201cHere, there are individuals and institutions. Regardless of their backgrounds, as long as we share a common vision, we can collaborate,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n<p>This member of the KPAI for the 2014-2017 period emphasized that Alimat is not a civil society organization, but rather a movement. \u201cWe are not a civil society organization, but a movement. Therefore, anyone can join as long as they share the same vision and have the same concerns, especially regarding issues related to women\u2019s justice within the family,\u201d Maria stated.<\/p>\n<p>In the five years since Alimat was founded in 2009, Maria and other board members have organized seminars and workshops on women&#8217;s empowerment. \u201cWe have also published a guidebook on justice within the family. We did this in collaboration with PEKKA, a progressive partner of Alimat,\u201d Maria revealed.<\/p>\n<p>Present as speakers were KH Husein Muhammad and a representative from the Malaysian Women&#8217;s Organization. In addition to several Alimat partners, gender movement figures such as Helmi Ali and MM Billah were also present at the event. Alimat&#8217;s partners include Rahima, the National Commission on Violence Against Women (Komnas Perempuan), PEKKA (Empowerment of Women Heads of Households), Fahmina Institute, Fatayat NU, Nasyiatul Aisyiyah, Aisyiyah, and KPI (Indonesian Women&#8217;s Coalition).
