AL-MAIYYAH: Media Transformasi Gender dalam Paradigma Sosial Keagamaan is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes original research articles and critical reviews in the fields of gender studies and socio-religious studies, with a particular focus on Muslim societies. The journal advances interdisciplinary scholarship of international relevance by providing a platform to critically examine gender as a lived, negotiated, and context-embedded social practice within religious and social realities. Its distinctive contribution lies in foregrounding empirically grounded and theoretically informed analyses of how gender is constructed and contested across education, ritual life, popular culture, community structures, and public policy, while situating Muslim contexts within broader global debates on gender, justice, and social change.
