description: The Religious Harmony Forum (FKUB) holds a strategic  position in maintaining and fostering inter-religious harmony in  Indonesia through inter-religious dialogue. However, this strategic  potential remains underutilized, particularly concerning membership  and the roles played by its members, which are predominantly  masculine. This is evidenced by the minimal involvement of women  in the organization. This research examines women’s agency in  FKUB, positing that women are essential agents in promoting  tolerance and peace. The study addresses three primary issues: the  structural factors contributing to the lack of female participation in  FKUB and its implications for interreligious dialogue in Indonesia;  women’s agency in FKUB, including their perspectives on gender,  diversity, and interreligious dialogue; and the strategies employed by  women to navigate the masculine-dominated FKUB structure. This  qualitative research combines fieldwork and library research,  involving seventy-eight informants —forty-seven women and thirtyone  men— from FKUB members across twenty-seven provinces and  districts/cities, spanning eastern Indonesia (East Nusa Tenggara),  central Indonesia (South Kalimantan, Bali, South Sulawesi, and North  Sulawesi), and western Indonesia (Aceh, Lampung, West Sumatra,  North Sumatra, Riau Islands, DKI Jakarta, Special Region of  Yogyakarta, Central Java, and East Java). The study adopts a  participatory research approach, emphasizing human subjectivity and  awareness in knowledge creation and placing humans in an  emancipatory and personal context. Data collection and analysis  utilized two approaches: a sociological approach focusing on the  interaction between religion, politics, culture, and society and a  phenomenological approach emphasizing the lived experiences of  research subjects.  Drawing on Bourdieu’s concept of masculine dominance and  Connell and Messerschmidt’s concept of hegemonic masculinity, the  research identifies four structures of masculine dominance in FKUB:  significant gender inequality in the management structure (men 91.9%and women 8.1%), male dominance in decision-making, gender bias,  and the marginalization of women in decision-making processes.  Factors influencing this dominance include patriarchal social  constructions, internal challenges faced by women in religious  councils, gender-biased interpretations of religious teachings, and  ambiguous government regulations and their implementation. The  research reveals that hegemonic masculinity manifests in FKUB  through both structural and cultural subordination of women.  Nevertheless, there has been an increase in female membership in  many FKUBs due to efforts promoting a more gender-equitable  habitus, both individually and institutionally. According to Bourdieu’s  theory of social practice, two primary habitus are identified within  FKUB: an inclusive vision of religious and ethnic differences, yet  lacking inclusivity for gender diversity, and male dominance in  religious organizations shaping FKUB members’ perceptions of  women’s roles. An alternative habitus influencing female FKUB  members is their belief in gender equality, supported by their broad  insights and active involvement in various organizations, especially  women’s organizations. As active agents, women in FKUB engage in  criticism, negotiation, lobbying, and exerting pressure to transform  masculine and unjust situations, leveraging their social, cultural,  symbolic, and economic capital. The study identifies five strategies  employed by female FKUB members to overcome challenges:  assertive communication, supportive, educational, successive, and  intervention. Additionally, three characteristics that strengthen their  agency are a flexible communication style, detail-oriented skills, and  a soft approach unique to women. With women’s agency and FKUB  members adept in diversity and gender perspectives, it is theoretically  feasible to develop a new habitus within FKUB, characterized by an  inclusive vision for gender diversity. This will foster a balance  between masculinity and femininity and achieve equal leadership for  men and women in FKUB.
