Positive Religious Coping, Cultural Anthropology of Women Rights and Well-Being of Hindu Women in Bali Indonesia: Mediation of Socio-Economic Women Rights

Abstract

International human rights organizations are working hard to protect women s cultural, social, and political rights by enforcing laws and amendments to safeguard women s well-being in society. Providing women with their fundamental rights is based on positive attitudes towards them in society. Hence it is important to study the factors impacting women’s well-being. Established on the Theory of Moral Sentiments and the Normative Theory of Human rights, this study aims to determine the factors that underpin Hindu women s well-being in Bali, Indonesia. \xa0A cross-sectional survey was conducted from 338 females of the Hindu religion (students, staff, and faculty members) from four public and private Indonesian higher education institutes/universities in Bali. Results revealed that positive religious coping and the cultural anthropology of women s rights, directly and indirectly, impacted women s well-being via women s socio-economic rights. This extended and more comprehensive model would help practitioners better understand how the blend of people s religious values, society, and cultural anthropology of women s rights can positively enhance their well-being.
