Perempuan Perdamaian: Adopsi Resolusi 1325 di Indonesia
Authors: Adriana Venny, Irine H. Gayatri, Dwi Rubyanti K.
This book elucidates the historical implementation of the UNSCR 1325 on WPS in Indonesia. Written by three swordswomen on WPS (Andriana Venny, Irine H. Gayatri, and Ruby Kholifah) from Indonesia, the book that was published in 2022 depicts the dynamic process of a gender-based violence coalition in absorbing inspiration from the region, strengthening support base, diplomacy surrounding the UNSCR 1325. Following this, the authors also illustrate the implementation of the National Action Plan for the Elimination of Violence against Women in Indonesia. More interestingly, this is the first book that discusses the relationship impact of conflict on women, including sexual violence as a tactic of war and cases of violence against women in conflicts in Indonesia. Thus, the researcher who is interested in researching WPS can cite this book as the primary resource to analyze the empirical studies of the implementation of WPS in Indonesia.

Sacred Nature: Restoring Our Ancient Bond with the Natural World by Karen Armstrong
Sacred Nature: Restoring Our Ancient Bond with the Natural World by Karen Armstrong delves into a deep understanding of what it means for human beings and the natural world to be in relationship. Armstrong emphasizes religious values inherent in human beings as the moral foundation for the existence of the Earth. She employs the terms “power” and “rule” in the context of the religious duty conferred by God on human individuals to dominate nature—duty that has too often gone unheeded in the modern era.
