Background: Gender inequality remains prevalent despite efforts toward equality, as traditional roles and patriarchal structures still limit women's participation and access. Resolving this requires applying egalitarian principles effectively in policies and programs. Objective: This study aims to analyze gender issues from the perspective of egalitarianism, specifically how women and men are positioned equally in social status and roles. Methods: This research uses a qualitative approach with critical discourse analysis of various gender policies, programs, and discourses in the social context. Results: four main factors reflect the egalitarian principle: (1) policies and programs must reflect the experiences of both men and women, (2) women must have access and control over programs, (3) women need to be actively involved in policy planning and implementation, and (4) it is necessary to evaluate the impact of programs on women. Conclusion: Implementing gender equality requires a legal framework and the active participation of women in all decision-making stages. Originality/Value: This study offers valuable critical insights in the field of gender studies, sociology of religion, and public policy by identifying four core pillars of egalitarian implementation, which comprise the integration of shared gender experiences, direct access and control over initiatives, active female involvement in planning, and targeted impact evaluation regarding gender roles and social status negotiation within the context of religious perspectives and patriarchal structural challenges, an area that remains insufficiently synthesized in existing literature. These findings enrich current empirical discourse and serve as a strategic reference for public policymakers, gender equality advocates, and scholars in developing inclusive legal frameworks, formulating equitable program interventions, and fostering inclusive decision making environments.
