The role of the young women’s organization Nasyiatul Aisyiyah in Indonesia in interfaith collaborative action through environmental approaches

Abstract

Young women have a huge role in society. Nasyiatul Aisyiyah is a young women’s organization in Indonesia that has a major role in building community among diverse people. One of the ways used is to have environmental projects as this creates a safe meeting space to meet people from different religious backgrounds. The organization has undertaken activities such as opening a dialogue room, converting garbage into profitable products, conducting an anti-intolerance campaign in public spaces involving cross-religious figures. It’s important to strengthen this movement so that it can be strong in spreading the value of inter-religious collaboration and environmental sustainability.
