Indonesian Migrant Workers play an important role as contributors to the country’s foreign exchange, but still face various problems such as human rights violations, violence, exploitation, and weak legal protection in the destination country. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a juridical-sociological method through in-depth interviews and participatory observation of Indonesian migrant workers and secondary data analysis from official government documents and international reports. The results of the study show a significant gap between the protection policies that have been set by the government and the reality of their implementation in the field. The main problems include the rampant non-procedural placement by illegal agents, low digital literacy of Indonesian migrant workers regarding the government’s online reporting system, and limited coordination between related institutions. This study highlights the importance of cross-sector collaboration, both state and private, and the use of information technology to strengthen complaint mechanisms and the supervision of migrant worker placement in a transparent and accountable manner.</p> Maulana Ibrahim, Reja Dalimunthe, Poppy Wulandari Copyright (c) 2025 Maulana Ibrahim, Reja Dalimunthe, Poppy Wulandari https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://journal.privietlab.org/index.php/PSSJ/article/view/376 Sat, 12 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0700 The phenomenon of inner marriage from the perspective of national marriage law and protection of women https://journal.privietlab.org/index.php/PSSJ/article/view/403 <p>This article analyzes unregistered marriage in Indonesia from a national legal perspective, focusing on its impact on the rights of women and children. Applying a normative legal approach, the study reviews statutory law, religious fatwas, and court decisions to clarify that unregistered marriages, while sometimes valid religiously, however lack formal legal recognition under Undang-Undang Perkawinan. This legal gap exposes women to loss of civil rights and leaves children vulnerable to administrative discrimination and social stigma. The discussion also highlights legal developments following Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi No. 46/PUU-VIII/2010, as well as the influence of local traditions and limited legal literacy. The article concludes by recommending legal reform, community legal education, and integration of customary practices to strengthen protection for affected groups.</p> Muh.

The goal of this research was to examine and assess how local residents view Parijotho Salak Batik as Sleman's cultural identity. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method of data collection, which included thorough interviews, participatory observations, and documentation. The younger generation views it as a potentially creative economy that can be developed, while artists and cultural icons see it as a cultural legacy that must be protected. The salak motif, which is typical of this batik, symbolizes Sleman's distinctiveness as the top producer of salak. Additionally, the research revealed obstacles to conservation and growth, such as inadequate promotion, competition with contemporary textile goods, and a scarcity of skilled artisans. The study's conclusion indicates that, while Parijotho Salak Batik has potential as a solid cultural identity, cooperation between the government, creative industry participants, and the community is necessary to maintain and foster it. In the context of modernization and globalization, these results add to a thorough understanding of the dynamics of local cultural identity.</p> Wahyu Kurniawan Copyright (c) 2025 Wahyu Kurniawan https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://journal.privietlab.org/index.php/PSSJ/article/view/405 Wed, 16 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0700 Exploring teacher agency and instructional practices in implementing the Merdeka Curriculum: A qualitative study of English Language teaching in Indonesian Senior High Schools https://journal.privietlab.org/index.php/PSSJ/article/view/386 <p>This study explored English teachers' practices in the implementation of English Language Teaching (ELT) under the Merdeka Curriculum in Indonesian senior high schools. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the researchers collected data through semi-structured interviews with three English teachers from three schools. This study investigated how teachers adapt the curriculum to classroom practice and their perceptions of students’ engagement and learning outcomes. To provide contextual insight, placement tests (vocabulary and reading tests) and writing test results were examined to illustrate the alignment between teaching approaches and outcomes. The findings revealed that teachers who adopted student-centered and collaborative strategies reported higher student motivation and stronger motivation on both tests. In contrast, a textbook-oriented or teacher-centered approach is associated with limited student progress. Therefore, this study emphasizes the critical role of teacher agency and the availability of resources in realizing the goals of the Merdeka Curriculum. </p> Tri Achmad Efendi, Alvin Apriliano Arijanto Copyright (c) 2025 Tri Achmad Efendi, Alvin Apriliano Arijanto https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://journal.privietlab.org/index.php/PSSJ/article/view/386 Wed, 16 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0700 BTS’s ‘Spring Day’ through the lens of narrative paradigm and semiotics https://journal.privietlab.org/index.php/PSSJ/article/view/368 <p>This study focuses on analyzing the meanings of BTS’s Spring Day music video through the lens of the Narrative Paradigm theory and Roland Barthes semiotics. The study used two primary data collection techniques: observation and literature review. The analysis found nine key scenes showing three stages of emotional transformation: grief, longing, and emotional liberation. Each stage reflects a specific mood, isolation, sorrow, longing, healing, or hope. Additionally, an analysis of eight key lyrics reveals four narrative stages: profound loss and clinging to hope, struggling with normalcy, emerging from despair, and messages of hope and closure. These findings highlight how Spring Day combines visual and lyrical elements to convey the universal message of loss and recovery. BTS’s storytelling on Spring Day offers an emotionally resonant and culturally relevant narrative enriched with semiotic meaning.</p> Decency Ananda Sylphania, Shafa Safira Najah, Anggun Nadia Fatimah Copyright (c) 2025 Decency Ananda Sylphania, Shafa Safira Najah, Anggun Nadia Fatimah https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://journal.privietlab.org/index.php/PSSJ/article/view/368 Fri, 18 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0700 AI-mediated ecological resilience & Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in climate-vulnerable communities https://journal.privietlab.org/index.php/PSSJ/article/view/446 <p>Climate change is not just an environmental risk but also a multiplier of gender-based violence (GBV), especially among impoverished communities that have been displaced and lack access to effective legal remedies. The research explores how environmental stresses such as floods, drought, and forced migration of communities amplify GBV in Sub-Saharan African and Southeast Asian climate-exposed areas. It also deals with the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for enhancing legal systems, risk pattern detection, and building gender-sensitive climate resilience. Using a qualitative socio-legal methodology, the study combines doctrinal legal analysis, feminist legal theory, and artificial intelligence tools like natural language processing (NLP) in analyzing public discourse, identifying policy gaps, and evaluating regulatory gaps. The key findings report increases in domestic violence, sexual exploitation, child marriage, and trafficking during the climate disasters, especially during the recovery phases. Although AI has promise in monitoring GBV trends online and in revealing policy blind spots on climate, ethical concerns are raised, especially around accessibility, surveillance concerns, and cultural exclusion. The study demands integrating GBV safeguards into climate adaptation legislation, codesign of moral AI systems with at-risk consumers, and binding international law to prevent GBV in the aftermath of disasters. It offers a rights model that connects gender justice, legal reform, and ethical application of AI.</p> Abubakar Muhammad Jibril Copyright (c) 2025 Abubakar Muhammad jibril https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://journal.privietlab.org/index.php/PSSJ/article/view/446 Fri, 18 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0700 The dynamics of the relationship between the Kotaagung Village government and the farmers group in the practice of Saemaul Undong values https://journal.privietlab.org/index.php/PSSJ/article/view/522 <p>This study examines the dynamics of the relationship between the Kotaagung Village Government and farmer groups in adopting and implementing <em>Saemaul Undong </em>values as a community-based development strategy. Values such as independence, hard work, and solidarity serve as normative frameworks for interactions between state actors at the local level and farmer communities in efforts to improve food security and village welfare. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and data collection techniques, including in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentary studies, this study found that the relationship between the village government and farmer groups is dynamic and influenced by factors such as local leadership, institutional capacity, patterns of communication, and social trust. Despite challenges in terms of program consistency and the active participation of farmers and their groups, the practice of <em>Saemaul Undong</em> values successfully facilitates more productive collaboration in the planning and implementation of collective agricultural activities. This study recommends strengthening collaborative governance based on local transformative values as a foundation for sustainable village development in Indonesia.</p> Azis Ahmad, Imam Mahmud Copyright (c) 2025 Azis Ahmad, Imam Mahmud https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://journal.privietlab.org/index.php/PSSJ/article/view/522 Fri, 18 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0700
