Batak Women in Globalization and Feminism

Abstract

The existence of policy cannot be separated from the role of women as a supporting factor for the policy itself. The modern era of globalization affects the continuity and change in every line of local policy. The Batak tribe as an ethnic group that upholds local policies has also adapted to the pattern of globalization which inevitably must be followed to achieve existence in a culture. Women as one of the media that bridge every element of culture in the next generation must participate and adapt to globalization. This study aims to show a simple study of the views of women of the Batak tribe studied in Batak literacy which without having to demand gender equality or justice, has directed respect on all sides. Changes and adjustments that occur in the socialization process carried out by women in maintaining local cultural identity are mainly aimed at maintaining the culture itself and the status it holds.
