SALASIKA is etymologically derived from the Javanese language meaning ‘brave woman’. SALASIKA: Indonesian Journal of Gender, Women, Child, and Social Inclusion's Studies was published in January 2018 by The Indonesian Association of Women/Gender & Child Studies (Id: Asosiasi Pusat Studi Wanita/Gender & Anak se Indonesia - ASWGI). It is international open access, scholarly, peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal publishing theoretically innovative and methodologically diverse research in the fields of gender studies, sexualities, and feminism. Our conception of both theory and method is broad and encompassing, and we welcome contributions from scholars around the world.

SALASIKA is inspired by the need to put into visibility the Indonesian and South East Asian women to ensure dissemination of knowledge to a wider general audience.

SALASIKA selects at least several outstanding articles by scholars in the early stages of a career in academic research for each issue, thereby providing support for new voices and emerging scholars.

SALASIKA has been accredited and awarded Sinta 3 according to Decision Letter (Surat Keputusan) by Minister of Research and Technology/National Research and Innovation Agency Number 204/E/KPT/2022 about Accreditation Rank of Scientific Journal Term 2 Year 2022.
