Semakan Dasar Wanita Kelantan: Penambahbaikan Pelaksanaan ke arah Mencapai Matlamat Pembangunan Mampan (Revise of Kelantan Women Policy: Improvement of Implementation Towards Sustainable Development)

Abstract

Hal ehwal kebajikan, wanita dan kanak-kanak merupakan salah satu daripada perkara yang terletak di bawah Senarai Bersama Perlembagaan Persekutuan. Ini bermakna, walaupun di peringkat persekutuan, Malaysia mempunyai Dasar Wanita Negara, negeri juga boleh memainkan peranan dalam perkara tersebut. Kerajaan Kelantan telah melancarkan dan melaksanakan Dasar Wanita Kelantan lebih daripada sedekad. Ternyata Kerajaan Kelantan turut mengambil berat tentang aspek pembangunan wanita dan keluarga. Sungguhpun begitu ianya telah memilih pendekatan yang berbeza dalam berbanding negeri-negeri lain di Malaysia. Kerajaan Kelantan telah memilih dasar Membangun Bersama Islam berteraskan ‘Ubudiyah (perhambaan kepada Allah), Masuliyah (tanggungjawab) dan Itqan (ketekunan). Daripada dasar tersebut adalah jelas Kerajaan Kelantan mensasarkan suatu pembangunan yang berteraskan Islam dan Syariah. Pelbagai pencapaian telah diukir dalam tempoh pelaksanaan dasar tersebut. Selepas lebih sedekad satu penilaian semula telah dibuat ke atas Dasar Wanita Kelantan untuk menambahbaik peruntukan yang sedia ada. Tambahan pula, Pertubuhan Bangsa-bangsa Bersatu (PBB) telah melancarkan Matlamat Pembangunan Mapan (SDG) untuk memastikan semua negara anggota merangka pelan pembangunan masing-masing dengan mengambil kira pelbagai aspek termasuklah kelestariannya. Semakan ke atas Dasar Wanita Kelantan perlu mengambilkira SDG agar pelaksanaannya seiring dengan kehendak global namun dalam masa yang sama tidak mengorbankan nilai asal dasar iaitu Islam. Kertas kerja in bertujuan untuk, pertama, menjelaskan sepintas lalu apa yang telah dicapai oleh wanita Kelantan melalui Dasar Wanita Kelantan dan kedua, mengemukakan cadangan penambahbaikan ke atas dasar tersebut yang selari dengan Matlamat Pembangunan Mapan (SDG).

Kata Kunci: Dasar Wanita Kelantan; matlamat pembangunan mapan (SDG); Islam; syariah;dasar

Abstract

Welfare, women and children are an item under the Concurrent List of the Malaysian Federal Constitution. This means, despite having a National Women Policy at the federal level, states can also play an important role in the same matter. Kelantan State Government had launched and carried out the Kelantan Women Policy for more than a decade. It is clear that the Kelantan State Government also place emphasis on women and family development. It is worth noted however that it has chosen a different approach in comparison with other states in Malaysia. The Kelantan Government has opted for the Islamic Development Approach which is basically based on ‘Ubudiyah (ultimate submission to Allah), Masuliyah (responsibilities) dan Itqan (due deligence). It is thus clear from the said approach that the Kelantan Government is targetting development which is based on Islam and the Syariah. Numerous achievement has been attained within the said period. After more than a decade, the time has come to re-evaluate the Kelantan Women Policy to strengthen the existing provisions. In addition, the United Nations has launched the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to ensure that all the state members draft their state development plan by considering various aspects including sustainability. The review on the Kelantan Women Policy must take into account SDG to ensure its future implementation is in line with the global needs and, at the same time, not at the expense of its foundational value, Islam. This paper intends to, first, briefly explains what has been achieved by Kelantanese Women in the implementation of Kelantan Women Policy and secondly, to propose some improvements to the existing policy which are in line with SDG.
