ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「Dressed in headscarves, green uniforms and rubber boots, 10 women on a team of rangers are tasked with protecting their village forest in Aceh Province in Indonesia from the squatters who want to clear the trees for timber or to farm the fertile soil. The team, which also includes five men, ventures deep into the tropical rainforest it guards, observing trees and moss while looking for signs of banned human activity. In Indonesia, where a patriarchal culture is deeply entrenched and Islam is the dominant religion, women’s roles are habitually diminished, and they are often overlooked in many fields of work. Being a ranger is considered a man’s job, making it taboo for women in Aceh, which is the only Indonesian province to have enacted Shariah law. After months of discussion, the village leaders were eventually convinced to let women become rangers. Rather than taking a confrontational approach with trespassers who are trying to farm or log in the area, the women try dialogue first. Tap the link in our bio to read how they do it.
