Focus and Scope

The Indonesian Journal of Gender Justice and Family Law (InGeFaL) is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal published by Mahkota Science Publishers. Established in 2026, the journal appears on a quarterly basis, with issues released in February, May, August, and November. It provides an academic platform for sustained engagement with contemporary legal questions, with particular emphasis on gender justice and family law in Indonesia within broader comparative and transnational contexts.

InGeFaL is dedicated to facilitating informed scholarly and professional debate on current legal developments, while also disseminating innovative research that advances understanding of gender justice and family law. The journal seeks to bridge academic analysis and legal practice by welcoming contributions not only from international scholars and legal professionals, but also from practitioners and policy actors, including representatives of courts, executive institutions, and development cooperation agencies.

Scope of Coverage

The journal encompasses a wide range of legal fields insofar as they bear upon gender justice and family law. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, constitutional law, Islamic law, administrative law, criminal law, civil law, environmental law, and human rights law, as well as other legal domains relevant to the regulation and operation of gender justice and family law in Indonesia. InGeFaL thereby positions itself as a forum for examining how legal norms and institutions shape, and are shaped by, gendered social realities and familial governance.

Types of Contribution and Scholarly Contribution

InGeFaL publishes original research articles, theoretical and conceptual analyses, and case studies. Collectively, these contributions are intended to strengthen critical understanding of Indonesian law and its implications from a global perspective. The journal particularly encourages work that interrogates emerging challenges, doctrinal developments, and shifting trends within gender justice and family law, and that situates Indonesian legal experience in relation to wider debates in comparative and international legal scholarship.
