Gender issues are problems that often occur in social life in society by separating definitions based on biological and physical characteristics. A discriminatory culture limits women in their roles, including their human rights to make choices. This role is due to the distribution and allocation of power as well as the division of labor in the family, but in fact, there is no division of labor in fulfilling the family economy. In terms of family economic downturn, gender disparity no longer applies. A woman is not only responsible as a housewife but also works to fulfill the family's economy.
TopMethodology
The approach used in this study is a qualitative approach with an ethnographic type of research. The researcher explores in depth the female diamond miners both at work and not, and examines the impact of diamond mining on women's health and local values that arise in various interactions, especially the economy carried out by the diamond mining community. The location of this study is in Cempaka Village, Banjarbaru City, South Kalimantan. This location was chosen because this is where there is traditional diamond mining (people's mining) and local miners who live and work around the mining area.
There are two types of data extracted in this study, namely primary and secondary data. Primary data comes from female miners who work in the local diamond mining community. In addition, data is also collected from local residents, community leaders, and, if possible, from mining land owners or investors.
Secondary data extracted from this study was collected from data on environmental conditions and socio-economic conditions of the residents who work as diamond miners at the study site.
The data collection procedures used were interviews, observations, and documentation. Interviews were conducted on the main subject of the study, namely the female diamond miners. In addition, interviews were also conducted with parties directly or indirectly involved in mining activities, such as local community leaders, communities around the mining area, miners' families, and village officials.
