Abstract

One of the goals of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is gender equality (Goal 5). Therefore, to achieve this goal, the concept of gender education is needed especially in the family, in which the basic and the first education starts. The aim of this article is to offer the concept of gender education in the family. The methodology used in this paper is feminist methodology, which facilitates women to become visible and the subject of knowledge, even though either male or female can become feminist who support for gender justice. The data for this paper is based on primary and secondary sources. The primary sources were collected through observation of the court hearings and interviews with divorcees. The secondary sources consist of literatures on gender and SDGs and annual reports on divorce from Religious Courts Ciamis, West Java, 2017-2019. These data show that the cause of divorce is mainly economic problem, in which the husbands are financially unable to support the family but they still expect their wife to do their traditional roles of serving them, taking care of the children and doing house works. Based on these data, to help save the family from getting divorce, gender education is important. The concept of gender education offered in this article suggests flexible roles between men and women since their early age, in which both girls and boys are prepared to be ready for any gender roles so they are ready to face any circumstances in their adulthood: either to be family breadwinner or to take care of the family at home.
