Abstract

This research is motivated by the indications of high radicalism in Tasikmalaya. This study aims to analyze the counter-narrative of radicalism through an information literacy approach among women in Tasikmalaya. This study uses an explanatory qualitative method with data collection techniques in the form of interviews and observations, and literature studies. Informants were selected based on a purposive sampling technique with criteria as female religious figures and leaders who carried out information literacy for women. Meanwhile, the speakers came from the National Unity and Political Agency (Kesbangpol) Tasikmalaya, and the Regional Facilitator from the National Counter-Terrorism Agency (BNPT) Tasikmalaya. The results of the study show that the counter-narrative of radicalism through information literacy is the starting point for women in building awareness of a comprehensive and deep religious understanding where the meanings of jihad, qital, da’wah, and women’s rights in Islam are discussed clearly. In addition, the counter-narrative of radicalism is also carried out through an understanding of what radicalism is and what its characteristics are as a step to educate women as the bulwark of family education. Counter radicalism is carried out through a structural approach by the Tasikmalaya Kesbangpol through religious moderation activities and the BNPT Regional Facilitator for Tasikmalaya Regency through guidance and economic assistance for families who are considered exposed to radicalism in Tasikmalaya.
