This study aims to identify various research studies on multiple dimensions of social life that employ an intersectionality approach. The approach is a framework that recognizes the multiple dimensions of social identity and how they intersect and influence experiences of discrimination, privilege, and marginalization. Using literature studies from various research databases and employing specific keywords, four dimensions of social life have been identified as dominant themes in research applying the intersectionality approach, namely education, healthcare, politics, and workplace. In the domain of education, the article discusses how an intersectionality approach can help to understand how multiple identities, such as race, gender, and class, intersect to influence educational experiences and outcomes. The article also examines the impact of intersectionality on access to healthcare, highlighting how multiple identities can affect access to care, treatment outcomes, and experiences of discrimination. In politics, the article discusses how an intersectionality approach can help understand marginalized groups' experiences in political processes and systems. The article also examines how intersectionality can influence workplace experiences and opportunities for advancement. The article argues that an intersectionality approach can help to identify and address systemic inequalities and promote greater equality and diversity in multiple dimensions of social life. The article highlights the importance of applying an intersectionality approach in understanding the complex ways social identities intersect and shape experiences of discrimination, privilege, and marginalization.

Purpose: The significance of well-being in social development policy and practice is increasingly acknowledged by scholars and practitioners worldwide. Nevertheless, when examining well-being within the context of Global South trends, existing conceptualisations seem to yield incongruent indicators. Given the background, this paper aims to synthesise theoretical and empirical literature on well-being to foster an understanding of well-being in contemporary Global South.Design/methodology/approach: This article reviews the now large literature on the well-being in the Global South. The article begins with a discussion of the contributions of state-of-the-art developments in well-being studies, a realm experiencing remarkable growth in social policy studies. It then turns to the prominent well-being constructs that have garnered considerable attention within the literature, with an examination of the Global North and Global South context followed by reinterpretation of these concepts to facilitate a comprehensive study of well-being beyond the realms of welfare states. Concluding the narrative, a succinct outline of potential pathways for future research is presented in the final section.Findings: The review reveals that the concept of well-being in the Global South does not necessarily deviate entirely from the prevailing belief that the region is fundamentally distinct from the Global North on a conceptual level. The authors have discovered that three core dimensions of well-being, namely objective, subjective and relational, are observable across societal boundaries due to the diffusion of knowledge and social and cultural practices that have progressively aligned them with Global North-style modernisation. An exception arises in the relational aspect, where the attainment of positive collective relationships precedes individual happiness to some extent. The paper advances a renewed perspective on well-being, portraying it as a situational, interconnected, collective undertaking and continuous process. These approaches empower the researchers to address the overarching question of which analytical foundations can most effectively uncover the intricacies of well-being in diverse and contemporary circumstances.Originality/value: This paper helps the researchers to address the overarching question of which analytical foundations can most effectively uncover the intricacies of well-being in diverse and contemporary circumstances, thereby facilitating future enhancements in social policy design.

The number of female workers has begun to show equality between men and women. However, the workforce sector is very prone to gender injustice, one of which is sexual harassment of women workers. A study in 2017 conducted by Perempuan Mahardhika shows that 56.5% of 773 workers had experienced some forms of sexual harassment in the workplace, especially at KBN Cakung. Based on this, questions arise to be able to find out how the portrait of sexual harassment of women workers at KBN Cakung. This study aims to reveal the voices of women workers against silent crime in the workplace. This study uses a feminist standpoints method to acknowledge women's voices. In this study, a purposive technique accompanied by a gatekeeper determined the informants. The results of this study indicate a portrait of sexual harassment experienced by female workers, both verbally, psychologically, as well as physically. There are four forms of harassment found outside the 16 established forms, namely voyeurism, online-based sexual harassment, forced dating with a marriage mode and also intimidation. The existence of reduction carried out by the structure makes silent crime unable to be categorized as the dominant discourse about crime, a new model of crime that cannot be framed by a conventional paradigm. Abstrak Semakin banyaknya keterlibatan perempuan di sektor publik seperti bidang ketenagakerjaan, maka dipercaya hadir pula kesetaraan antara perempuan dan laki-laki. Namun, keyakinan seperti itu ternyata tidak cukup karena pada kenyataannya masih banyak buruh perempuan mengalami sexual harassment. Salah satu kasus pelecehan seksual tersebut dikaji oleh organisasi Perempuan Mahardhika pada tahun 2017 yang menunjukkan bahwa sekitar 56,5% dari 773 buruh perempuan di KBN Cakung pernah mengalami bentuk pelecehan seksual. Berdasarkan data tersebut, muncul pertanyaan terkait potret pelecehan seksual buruh perempuan di KBN Cakung. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap suara para buruh perempuan dalam melawan kejahatan sunyi atau kejahatan yang tidak teridentifikasi di tempat kerja. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian feminist standpoint yang berfungsi untuk mengangkat suara buruh perempuan. Teknik penentuan informan adalah purposive, dengan didampingi oleh gate keeper atau mereka yang bisa memberi akses bagi para buruh perempuan. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan potret pelecehan seksual yang dialami oleh buruh perempuan baik secara verbal, psikis, maupun fisik. Ditemukan empat bentuk pelecehan di luar 16 bentuk yang sudah diidentifikasi yakni voyeurisme, pelecehan seksual berbasis online, kencan paksa dengan modus dinikahi, dan juga adanya intimidasi. Adanya kecenderungan reduksi defenisi kriminalitas oleh perspektif formal atau konvensional, membuat kejahatan sunyi yang dialami buruh perempuan seringkali tidak dilihat sebagai praktek kriminalitas.

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mendiskusikan kesendirian (solitude) di masa pembatasan sosial akibat pandemi Covid-19. Berbagai studi menunjukkan bahwa pandemi telah memengaruhi dimensi kehidupan manusia seperti kesehatan, ekonomi, sosial, dan pendidikan. Tidak hanya berbagai dimensi tersebut, salah satu perubahan kehidupan yang dialami oleh banyak orang adalah pembatasan sosial (social distancing) atau membangun jarak dengan yang lain (physical distancing). Dalam konteks demikian, banyak orang yang harus menjalani hidup dalam kesendirian (solitude). Secara umum, kesendirian (solitude) bukanlah tema yang menarik untuk diulas. Situasi tersebut bahkan lebih dilihat sebagai sesuatu yang negatif dan lekat dengan kesepian, kesedihan, bahkan ketidakberdayaan. Berbeda dengan makna negatif tersebut, artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengurai makna kesendirian (solitude) dari perspektif yang lebih positif. Studi ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi literatur. Sumber data berasal dari berbagai literatur yang beririsan dengan ilmu sosial, filsafat dan spiritualitas khususnya yangmembahas tema kesendirian (solitude). Ada tiga temuan yang berhasil diidentifikasi dandianalisis dari berbagai literatur tersebut. Pertama, kesendirian (solitude) mendorong individu manusia untuk semakin mengenali dirinya sendiri. Kedua, kesendirian (solitude) menciptakan ruang kebebasan bagi manusia khususnya di konteks relasi di dalam masyarakat. Ketiga, kesendirian (solitude) membantu manusia lebih dekat dengan alam (nature). Artikel ini ditutup dengan simpulan mengenai pentingnya mempraktikkan kesendirian (solitude) pada situasi tertentu, bahkan di luar konteks pandemi.
