Gerakan Sosial Perempuan Ekofeminisme dalam Menolak Pertambangan (Studi Kasus Tambang Dairi Prima Mineral (DPM) di Desa Pandiangan, Kecamatan Laeparira, Kabupaten Dairi)

Abstract

This study examines women's social movements from an ecofeminist perspective in rejecting mining activities, using a case study of the rejection of the Dairi Prima Mineral (DPM) mine in Pandiangan Village, Laeparira District, Dairi Regency. This women's social movement emerged as a response to the environmental and social impacts of mining, which threaten the preservation of nature and the welfare of local communities, especially women. The ecofeminism approach is used to understand how women and environmental exploitation are interrelated. This study aims to determine why ecofeminist women engage in social movements and to understand how women's social movements are carried out in opposition to mining. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a case study type of research. Data collection techniques used in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis uses Anthony Oberschal's resource mobilization theory with a social movement concept approach. The results of the study show that women in Pandiangan village not only play the role of victims, but also as active agents of change in fighting for environmental and social justice. Threats to land, water, and living space have led to the emergence of collective awareness, which has then formed a women's ecofeminism social movement. The forms of movement carried out include demonstrations and mangandung traditions, raising awareness among the community, and lobbying the government. Thus, this study contributes to sociological studies by providing in-depth insights into ecofeminist-based social movements and the role of women in the resistance against mining in Indonesia.
