Purpose: This study explores three dimensions of how gender and ethics may affect negotiation styles and measures the relationship between gender and ethics.
Design/methodology/approach: This study applied Structural Equations Modelling that focused on the GreTai Security Market to test the effects and differences of gender on negotiation styles.
Findings: The results revealed that gender and ethics significantly affect negotiation styles, and gender significantly affects ethical behaviors.
Originality/value: Current transactions are more complex than they were ever before. Information is asymmetric, and expectations differ between the sides. Therefore, an effective negotiation becomes quite crucial to reaching a win-win result. Different countries have different cultural environments; hence numerous different negotiations styles which merit further studies. However, most prior studies in the field are focused on a single factor used to measure another variable that may not consistently capture how gender and ethics affect negotiation styles and the relationships between gender and ethics
Implications: This study helps multicultural negotiators and companies find the most competent design for improving the efficiency of negotiations in business and other endeavors. Educators and curriculum designers should consider cultural issues as an integral part of their curriculum in their future designs.

This article provides a case study of child sex tourism (CST) in Surabaya, Indonesia. CST cases are difficult to surface because the victims of CST are such vulnerable human beings. Victims of CST need a variety of forms of support for their recovery and reintegration. This article contends that social, economic, political, technological, and individual factors cause CST. It examines the negative impacts of CST, which are medical, social, psychological, and physical in nature. It also reveals that the techniques used for CST recruitment are fake promises, debt bondage, emotional abuse, counterfeit love, drug addiction, physical abuse, gifts and favors. The elimination of CST calls for ending certain depraved cultural practices and beliefs, rehabilitation and reintegration of the victims, proactive anti-CST government policies and programs, enactment and effective enforcement of tough laws prohibiting CST, prosecution of the offenders, raising public awareness about the ills of CST, providing education for all children, the provision of national identification documents to all children, and strict border controls to prevent the trafficking of children for sex tourism.

There have been cases of male transgender in Indonesia, yet there is a small study about them. Why do some biological females claim their identity as male transgender? How do they think of themselves as male transgender? The researcher study their life history and how they see themselves as male transgender. We have a total of six research subjects who acknowledged themselves as male transgender. This research used the in-depth interview for gathering data within six months. The results found that they became transgender based on their desire rather than coercion from others. Some of them were comfortable in coming out to their family, but most were considering how the society would judge them, and how they might bring shame to the family. Three research subjects were not able to show their true identity as transgender, because of several considerations, such as the fear of being ostracized by the society and the fear to be eliminated from their family. They took the gender role according to what would be accepted by the current environment. We conclude that the existence of transgender, who is biologically females to become males are very reluctant to open their sexual identity because of this reason.
