Yati Kaprawi: Gender Equality, Women's Rights, and Feminism

[English translation below]

Perbincangan mengenai isu-isu gender, hak wanita, dan feminisme semakin mendapat populariti di Malaysia. Walau bagaimanapun, banyak orang, termasuk pelajar universiti, mempunyai pemahaman yang kabur tentang isu ini. Isu-isu gender tidak digabungkan secara meluas dalam kurikulum kursus, dengan sesetengah kursus mengendalikan isu-isu ini pada peringkat kemudian. Sebaliknya, sekolah dan institusi agama Islam mungkin mengabaikan topik gender sama sekali atau malah menyajikan ajaran yang bertentangan dengan feminisme dan kesaksamaan gender, menganggapnya sebagai tidak Islami. Oleh itu, terdapat keperluan mendesak untuk meningkatkan kesedaran dan menyediakan maklumat yang tepat tentang gender dan feminisme kepada orang ramai, termasuk pelajar yang mungkin memegang jawatan berpengaruh dalam masyarakat mereka atau peringkat kebangsaan.

Bahan-bahan dalam talian yang berkaitan dengan Undang-Undang Keluarga Muslim sering mengukuhkan pandangan lama yang tidak adil yang memberi lebih banyak hak kepada lelaki, menyebabkan beban kerja rumah yang tidak seimbang pada wanita. Dalam kes-kes di mana anak dilahirkan di luar perkahwinan, bapa mungkin tidak bertanggungjawab secara undang-undang, meninggalkan ibu sebagai penyedia dan penjaga tunggal, yang boleh menyumbang kepada masalah seperti 'baby-dumping,' terutamanya di kalangan wanita muda.

Sebagai tindak balas terhadap kebimbangan ini, Yati Kaprawi telah menghasilkan siri video animasi pendek, masing-masing berlangsung 1 hingga 2 minit, untuk menjelaskan cabaran yang dihadapi oleh wanita Muslim di Malaysia. Animasi yang mudah diikuti ini direka untuk diakses oleh semua orang, termasuk wanita yang mungkin menghadapi kesulitan dalam mengakses maklumat, seperti ibu rumah sepenuh masa atau individu di kawasan luar bandar. Semua video ini disampaikan dalam Bahasa Melayu untuk memenuhi populasi Muslim Melayu yang dominan di Malaysia.

Matlamat utama usaha ini adalah untuk menggalakkan pandangan yang adil dan memastikan lebih ramai orang dapat dengan mudah mengakses maklumat dalam talian untuk memudahkan perubahan positif dalam bidang-bidang ini

Discussion on gender issues, women’s rights, and feminism has increasingly gained popularity in Malaysia. Nevertheless, many people, including university students, have a vague understanding of the issue. Gender issues are not universally integrated into course curricula, with some courses addressing them at a later stage. In contrast, Islamic religious schools and institutions may omit gender topics altogether or even present teachings contrary to feminism and gender equality, deeming them unIslamic. Consequently, there is a pressing need to raise awareness and provide accurate information about gender and feminism to the public, including students who may hold influential positions in their communities or at the national level.

Online materials concerning Muslim Family Law often uphold outdated and inequitable views that favor men, resulting in a disproportionate burden of housework on women. In cases of children born outside of marriage, fathers may not bear legal responsibility, leaving mothers as the sole providers and guardians, potentially contributing to issues like 'baby-dumping,' particularly among young women.

In response to these concerns, Yati Kaprawi has developed a series of short animated videos, each lasting 1 to 2 minutes, to elucidate the challenges faced by Muslim women in Malaysia. These user-friendly animations are designed to be accessible to everyone, including women who may face difficulty accessing information, such as full-time homemakers or those in rural areas. All of these videos are presented in Malay to cater to the predominantly Malay Muslim population in Malaysia.

The primary aim of these efforts is to foster a fair perspective and ensure that more people can readily access online information to facilitate positive changes in these domains.

2. Selamat Hari Raya, Meraikan Kesetaraan. Happy Eid, Celebrating Equality

Selamat Hari Raya Maaf Zahir Batin. Budaya beraya di Malaysia, lelaki dan perempuan beramah mesra, bergurau senda saling bermaafan.. Tiada yang berpaling muka tidak mahu memandang wajah orang yang berlainan jantina, konon ditakuti fitnah bagai... Adat beraya juga orang kampung saling berkunjung tanpa mengira lelaki atau perempuan, datang beraya berkumpul bersama, tiada pemisahan ruang atau tempat duduk lelaki dan perempuan...tanpa sebarang syak wasangka menimbulkan fitnah dan sebagainya..

Kalau ikut budaya Melayu, saling bersalaman antara lelaki dan perempuan adalah amalan dalam mengeratkan persaudaraan dan tidak dianggap serong , tanpa sebarang syak wasangka.

Begitulah budaya Melayu yang kuat semangat kemasyarakatannya, masyarakat yang santai, suka beramah mesra dan bergurau senda sesama sanak saudara dan jiran tetangga.. tak kiralah lelaki atau perempuan.. Ianya juga dicerminkan dalam gerak tarian Melayu.. seperti di video animasi saya ini..

Walaupun tarian Melayu seperti zapin misalnya, berasal atau punya pengaruh dari Arab atau Yemen, namun orang-orang Melayu menyesuaikannya mengikut resam dan cara hidup orang2 Melayu - seperti gerak lenggoknya yang lebih lembut, sentiasa dengan senyuman manis dan juga tarian dilakukan secara bersama-sama lelaki dan perempuan

7. Can husbands force themselves on their wives? (Marital rape)

Keganasan dan paksaan hubungan seksual dalam perkahwinan.

Ramai juga agamawan sering ceramahkan yang isteri mesti patuh dengan kehendak suami walau dalam keadaan apa sekali pun. Syaratnya, menurut mereka, adalah asalkan perintah atau kehendak suami itu halal dan tidak bertentangan dengan Islam/Syariah. Akan tetapi, Islam bukan sekadar halal atau haram, hitam atau putih. Selain halal, banyak lagi pertimbangan yang perlu diambilkira, seperti etika, rasa perikemanusiaan, timbangrasa, prihatin terhadap keadaan orang lain, dan juga tata adab budaya tempatan. Tuhan telah pun mendidik manusia tentang hal ini, yakni dengan mengajarkan manusia bahawa dalam hal ibadat wajib pun, Allah swt tetap tunjukkan keprihatinan dan ambilkira faktor-faktor kemanusiaan, yakni tidak akan memaksa manusia menjalankan ibadat wajib sekiranya ia boleh menyebabkan manusia/orang terancam nyawanya, atau memudaratkan tubuh badan, atau malah jika ia boleh menimbulkan kesulitan/kesukaran. Justeru, agaman dan para suami perlu ambil iktibar dari ajaran Tuhan dan tidak ketegak memaksa isteri untuk patuh pada segala kehendaknya tanpa mengambilkira samada ia boleh menimbulkan bahaya atau kesukaran dan ketidakselesaan pada isteri.

Violence and coercion in marital sexual relationships.

Many religious leaders often preach that wives must obey their husbands' wishes regardless of the circumstances. According to them, the condition is that the husband's command or desire is permissible and in accordance with Islam/Sharia. However, Islam is not just about what is permissible or forbidden, black or white. Besides legality, many other considerations need to be taken into account, such as ethics, human compassion, empathy, concern for others' well-being, and local cultural norms. God has already educated humanity about this by teaching that even in obligatory acts of worship, Allah (SWT) still shows concern and takes into account humanitarian factors. That is, He will not compel humans to perform obligatory acts of worship if they could endanger lives, harm the body, or cause hardship or difficulty. Therefore, religion and husbands should take heed of God's teachings and not insist on forcing their wives to comply with all their desires without considering whether it might pose danger, hardship, or discomfort to the wife.

8. A child’s right to be legally acknowledged by the biological father (Children born out of wedlock)

An Interview with Dato' Hj. Ismail bin Yahya (former Chief Sharia Judge of Terengganu and former Mufti of Terengganu)

Every child:

  • is born pure, free from all sins.
  • is not burdened or held accountable for the sins of others, including those of their parents.
  • has the right to acknowledgment, protection, and affection from both parents.
  • has the right to have their dignity and human worth preserved.
  • has the right not to be discriminated against.

Children born out of wedlock or considered "illegitimate" are also not exempt from their basic rights, guaranteed by both religion and the country's laws.

The state or authorities should ensure that every biological father is held responsible for the welfare of their child, including those born out of wedlock. In doing so, not only will the child's welfare be safeguarded, but the mother will also not be left alone to defend and ensure the child's well-being.

By holding biological fathers fully accountable for their children, it may help reduce the prevalence of infant abandonment that occurs frequently in society.
