Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Gender equality issues in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) face significant challenges due to a strong patriarchal culture. This research explores the role of Christian Religious Education in families, schools, and churches to support gender equality using a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through unstructured interviews and indirect observations. The findings indicate that Christian Religious Education has substantial potential in shaping public views on gender equality by teaching values of mutual respect and shared responsibilities and encouraging women's active participation in church leadership. In conclusion, Christian Religious Education can contribute to creating a more equitable society.
