Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between women's religious organizations and the 2024 election contest from the perspective of fiqh democracy. This is because women's politics in the contemporary context is a necessity to realize justice for women. This study uses qualitative methods to explore the acceleration of women's religious organizations in Tulungagung and Trenggalek Regencies. The collected data is then presented descriptively and analyzed using content analysis through fiqh civilization (civilization jurisprudence). This study finds that (1) Women's religious organizations in Tulungagung and Trenggalek Regencies have demonstrated their strong existence in various aspects of women's participation in the 2024 political arena. (2) The position of women's religious organizations in Tulungagung and Trenggalek Regencies in the 2024 political contest is influenced by various supporting and inhibiting factors. (3) The contribution of women's religious organizations in Tulungagung and Trenggalek Regencies in facing the 2024 political contest can be seen through the fiqh democracy approach, which is the foundation of the women's religious organization movement.
