Islam as a religion that is  rahmatan lil ‘alamin, the teachings contained therein inspire justice values, peace, humanity, equality and civilization. Therefore, if there is a conflicting understanding with islamic values above, so this understanding must be updated and reviewed.

Among the religious texts that need to be reviewed are the verses of the Qur’an which textually contain misogynistic elements including Surah al-Ahzab verse 33. This verse is used by some circles as an argument to curb woman not to do activities outside the home. So that, the role of woman in the public sphere and social sphere become very limited or even nonexistent.

Whereas, Islam since the beginning of its presence, the Islamic teachings confirm that role discrimination and gender bias is a human rights violations must be eliminated.
