Abstract
This study aimed to create a conflict database in East Java that classified by gender-related conflict. It identified the trend of social conflict in East Java and how the conflicts affect women vulnerability. This study demonstrated women involvement in conflict, whether they act as perpetrators, victims, or peacemakers. The limitation of the latest dataset and requirement of the data that classified conflict based on gender is the primary urgency of the research. This study used media monitoring for data collection method. Conflicts are categorized in five categories : natural resources, economic resources, electoral, identity, governance and others. These regulations follows the mandate of the UN Resolution No. 1325 that ratified on October 31, 2010, which asserts the importance of specific policy to ensure the absence of gender-based violence during the conflict and promotes women’s role in conflict prevention and resolution. This study exhibits that social conflict in East Java showed an increasing trend, as well as women’s involvement in the conflict, although not comprehensively reported by the media. The role of women as peacemakers dominated by those who are victims. This study also found the potential of women from the government sector as peacemakers.
