“…Men are generally expected to be brutish. To date, the image of women has been extensively researched from numerous perspectives, including their stereotypical representation in television advertisements (e.g., Kumar, 1989 ; Kitsa and Mudra, 2020 ), social media (e.g., Fardouly et al, 2015 ; Mills et al, 2018 ), and even parliamentary presence (e.g., Fokum et al, 2020 ), which reveals a trending pattern of recognizing women as key players in society. At Malaysian level, research on women representation is receiving a growing attention, including those on politics and public administration (e.g., Yeong, 2018 ; Lim et al, 2019 ), textbooks, and education (e.g., Mukundan and Nimehchisalem, 2008 ).…”

Public awareness on gender education may not be easily translated in living classrooms, which prompts new alternatives. In this study, we explored Shakespearean graphic novels in exposing Malaysian school students to gender-related issues. The two-fold research entails tracing the female presence in eight selected images from digital graphic novels that define the gender and place social expectations across the globe; and secondly, gathering teachers’ perception of these selected graphic novels. The chosen images were divided into two categories—those published as the cover pages of graphic novels and those that were contested for the Graphic Shakespeare Competition established in 2016. These stereotypical images of women are inconsistent with the objective of achieving inclusivity and correct gender representations. The data analysed based on a semi-structured interview on six ESL teachers suggest that as much as the graphic novels are seen as valuable in pedagogical contexts and in exposing the students to learning English and gender representations through literature, the material selection, and pedagogical approaches, including determining the classroom activities must be cautiously considered in terms of their cultural appropriateness to ensure students’ readiness and effective outcomes. Discussing these pertinent issues, especially in addressing gender (mis)representations relevant to education, helps pave a new route within the UN SDG Goal 5 where gender nuances and phrases ought to be carefully constructed in a new narrative that shapes global perception towards women.

“…Not all social issues can be included in the government's agenda for processing into policies in the context of the formulation. Most of the time, issues on the policy agenda are tied to specific considerations and are put against a solid backdrop of policy research (Budiardjo, 2018;Fokum et al, 2020;Hakim & Munaf, 2015).…”

The Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) is a legislative body representing the votes of the vast majority of the populace, and its members are answerable to it. Legislature members have duties, responsibilities, and rights that must be carried out at work. However, DPRD encounters several issues that make carrying out these duties difficult. This study's objectives include examining the Regional House of Representatives Government Communication regarding the formulation of regional regulations in Indonesia, the challenges faced by DPRD members in converting regional regulations draft (Raperda) into regional regulations (Perda), and the DPRD's model for formulating policy in Indonesia. In this work, qualitative research is combined with an empirical legal methodology. Under natural circumstances, data were gathered through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. This study concludes that the government communication of the Raperda formulation in the DKI Jakarta Provincial DPRD follows the Prudential Principle or is done with extreme caution. The DPRD's use of the precautionary principle can be compared to Dunn's idea of forecasting, namely projection. Discussions around developing proposed regional rules almost always involve challenges and issues. Since political influence is crucial, all efforts will be made in this vein.
