Supporting Statement Australia Award Scholarship -AAS-

How have you contributed to solving a challenge and to implementing change or reform?
I would like to pursue my PhD study in Sociology to explore theoretically and practically. PhD study in
Australia made me develop my potential as a lecturer, researcher, and expert so as to bridge the
community to recognize emancipation and gender equality in various development activities so as to
reduce poverty levels in Indonesia. This is in accordance with women and gender studies as a priority
field of study, this is an urgent issue because women are often marginalized parties in various regions, so
they need to get handling and solutions or efforts to overcome the problem of gender injustice. Therefore,
I chose the PhD program in Sociology to realize my knowledge. I applied for the Sociology PhD Program
by designing a dissertation research for the future entitled 'The Role of Women in Marine Protected Areas
(MPAs) Management for Poverty Alleviation in Indonesia', this research is on the management of coastal
areas and marine protected areas (MPAs), development activities carried out with an understanding of
gender equality and emancipation, efforts to reduce poverty in women's coastal communities, and the
role of women with men in sustainable environmental conservation. I hope this study will contribute to
the community to solve gender problems in coastal areas.

Melalui pelaksanaan penelitian dengan fokus kajian Sosiologi Gender dan Masyarakat Pesisir membahas fenomena

My passion is even stronger every day for Sociology-Sociology of Gender studies when the Sociology Department
of Faculty of Law, Social Science, and Political Science of the University of Mataram awarded me as Research
Group Leader on Social Issues Studies producing 3 research over the last 5 years. I was given direct guidance in
writing research scientific papers by Dr. Moh Taqiuddin (Director of KONSEPSI NTB) and Ir. Rosiady Husaenie
Sayuti, M.Sc., Ph.D (Associate Professor at Department of Sociology) at workshops on qualitative and quantitative
research methods to process experts who produce innovative and valid social science research.

Through research activities with a focus on Sociology of Gender and Coastal Communities discussing social
realities in vulnerable societies, marginal coastal women, and community organizations. This phenomenon was
formulated through my research exploring women's efforts in development activities in Central Lombok. My
enthusiasm for this phenomenon is getting higher and intensive. In 2023, my team and I presented the
implementation of the 3 gender pillars of the government's program to protect coastal women in the Mandalika SEZ,
Central Lombok. Our research is an effort that has been presented at the International Conference on Coastal and
Delta Areas (ICDDA #5) in Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara. Moreover, this is a testament to the dedication of
science on women's issues, women empowerment, emancipation and gender equality.

My contributions in the field of women's issues and gender go beyond publication, I demonstrate public speaking
and communication skills as a lecturer to explain the social reality of gender issues related to coastal women's
participation. This is my real and objective step as an initiator of development in Indonesia. I am also a member of
the 'Edu Arts' community, I work as a volunteer contributing to providing the principle of gender equality into
empowerment in Lombok Island and Sumbawa Island.
