Lately, the issues relating to gender equality are being hotly discussed. One the indicators of this is the legalization effort of RUU-KKG in the law of the State. This issue was raised because the Feminists see that there is an imbalance in rotes between women and men, as well as in the realm of social, political, economic, and households. This patriarchal culture engenders women to always be under-emphasized in their status and positions in these fields. Al-Qur'an itself equates to both in carrying out tasks in life. This paper will examine whether the issues in regards to gender equality in the Qur'an amounts to absolute equality or equality that not necessarily takes the same form.

Das Vordringen von Frauen in wirtschaftliche Führungspositionen in Europa ist ein langsamer aber stetiger Prozess. Jüngste naturwissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse deuten darauf hin, dass Frauen für Gruppenkommunikation und Entscheidungsfindung in Stresssituationen biologisch besser geeignet sind als Männer. Wissenschaftliche Studien, die sich mit den Auswirkungen eines verstärkten Frauenanteils in Führungspositionen von Unternehmen befassen, zeigen dass Frauen in solchen Funktionen deutlich zum wirtschaftlichen Erfolg beitragen. So kamen z.B. Firmen mit gemischtem Frauen-Männer-Management besser durch die weltweite Finanzkrise. Selbst in - bezüglich der Rolle von Frauen - konservativen Ländern wie Japan und Saudi-Arabien zeigt sich ein Umdenkungsprozess hinsichtlich der Repräsentanz von Frauen in Führungspositionen.

Research on women's preponderance among animal rights advocates explains it exclusively as a product of women's socialization, emphasizing a relational orientation of care and nurturing that extends to animals. The authors propose a more structural explanation: Women's experiences with structural oppression make them more disposed to egalitarian ideology, which creates concern for animal rights. Using data from a 1993 national sample, the authors find that an egalitarian gender ideology is a key difference in women's and men's routes to animal rights advocacy: It differentiates those more likely to endorse animal rights among women but not among men. Neither this ideology nor other variables in the analysis, however, account for women's greater overall support of animal rights in the combined sample. Reasons for this latter finding are explored.
