UNISA Yogyakarta’s stance: Urging the government to be transparent and fair

,

Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta has taken a firm stance in response to political developments and mass actions in various regions, including Yogyakarta. Through a moral statement read by the Rector of UNISA Yogyakarta, Dr. Warsiti, S.Kp., M.Kep., Sp.Mat, together with the entire academic community on Monday (September 1, 2025), the campus conveyed 10 important points touching on various crucial issues, from law enforcement to the welfare of the people.

10 UNISA Yogyakarta Policy Statements

  1. UNISA Yogyakarta expresses its deep sorrow over the loss of life and injuries sustained during the demonstrations. We are particularly concerned about the psychological, social, and economic impact of the violence on the families of the victims. The state has an obligation to provide protection and recovery for those affected.
  2. UNISA Yogyakarta demands transparency in law enforcement, particularly in relation to the case involving the late Affan Kurniawan. The legal process must be fair, open, and non-discriminatory in order to provide legal certainty and a sense of justice for the family and the wider community.
  3. UNISA Yogyakarta believes that if the legal process is not carried out in accordance with the rule of law, it will set a bad precedent for future generations and could be repeated in the future.
  4. UNISA Yogyakarta rejects all forms of violence against the expression of opinions. Voicing aspirations is a constitutional right of citizens that must be protected, not responded to with repressive actions that lead to an escalation of violence.
  5. UNISA Yogyakarta supports the government in continuing to open up broader spaces for dialogue or discussion with the community.
  6. UNISA Yogyakarta expects the government to review policies that cause public unrest, particularly those related to increases in the prices of basic commodities and taxes that impact family welfare and reduce educational opportunities and job prospects. Policies that are not pro-people will only give rise to social jealousy.
  7. UNISA Yogyakarta calls on political party leaders to stop money politics and commit to selecting and presenting cadres/members who are truly competent, have integrity, and are in favor of the people’s interests.
  8. UNISA Yogyakarta reminds protesters to uphold democratic values and not to damage public facilities, loot, or disrupt public order. The struggle for aspirations should be carried out in a polite, peaceful, and responsible manner.
  9. UNISA Yogyakarta invites all components of the nation to pray to Allah SWT for the nation’s safe journey towards Baldatun Thoyyibatun Warobbun Ghofur (a good land full of God’s forgiveness).
  10. UNISA Yogyakarta urges the public to avoid crowds, not to be easily provoked, and not to invite others to or watch demonstrations, either directly or through media broadcasts.

This statement concludes with a call to uphold agreements and decisions in addressing national issues. UNISA Yogyakarta believes that Indonesia’s progress will only be realized if all elements of the nation prioritize justice, unity, and wisdom in every action.

Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta hosted the Training for Musyrif and Musyrifah of Muhammadiyah–’Aisyiyah (PTMA) University Dormitories throughout Indonesia. The event, organized by the PTMA Dormitory Management Association (ASLAMA), took place from August 29 to 31, 2025, in the Siti Moendjijah Building Meeting Room.

In her opening remarks, UNISA Yogyakarta Rector Dr. Warsiti, S.Kp., M.Kep., Sp.Mat, said that this event was a forum for collaboration, synergy, and friendship to improve the capacity of musyrif and musyrifah.

“This dormitory is like Condrodimuko, a place to nurture Muhammadiyah ‘Aisyiyah cadres in the development of Islamic, excellent, and progressive human resources,” said Warsiti.

The Chairperson of ASLAMA PTMA, Dr. Wawan Kusnawan, S.S., M.Pd.I., explained that student dormitories should not only function as a place to live, but must also be a strategic means for producing excellent cadres.

“To date, more than 56 PTMA across Indonesia have dormitories or ma’had,” said Wawan, highlighting the rapid development of these facilities.

With the theme “The Strategic Role of ASLAMA in Improving the Quality of Musyrif-Musyrifah and Muhammadiyah Cadres in the Current Era,” this training was attended by 243 participants online. The event featured various speakers from the Muhammadiyah Central Leadership Council for Research and Development, as well as leaders from each PTMA.

This training not only served as a platform for knowledge exchange but also strengthened the network among Musyrif and Musyrifah, ensuring that student dormitories within PTMA can function optimally in nurturing young generations with strong character and readiness to become future leaders.

,

Students from the Community Service Program (KKN) at Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta Group 12 held a very beneficial activity for the elderly community. Located in Dukuh Logandeng, Playen, Gunungkidul, they organized elderly gymnastics combined with free health check-ups on Friday (August 15, 2025).

Since early morning, dozens of elderly people had gathered at the Logandeng Village Hall with great enthusiasm. They followed each exercise movement guided by cheerful music, creating a lively and communal atmosphere.

“This exercise makes my body feel fresher, and I can gather with friends of the same age,” said Mbah Surti (68), one of the participants who regularly attends this activity.

In addition to the exercise session, the event also included free health check-ups, such as blood sugar tests and blood pressure measurements. These examinations were conducted by health students and supervised by medical staff from the local health center. The results were immediately provided to the participants, followed by an educational session on hypertension to help them better understand how to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

The Head of Logandeng Village, Husein, expressed his appreciation. “We are greatly assisted by the activities organized by the UNISA Yogyakarta KKN students. We hope that such positive activities can continue in our village in the future,” said Husein.

Field Supervisor (DPL) of UNISA Yogyakarta’s Community Service Program, Niken Anggraini, M.Tr.Kep, emphasized that this program is a tangible manifestation of student service to the community.

“This activity is not only about physical fitness training, but also serves as a means of education and social interaction. Students learn to implement health knowledge, while the community receives tangible benefits,” explained Niken.

This activity demonstrates that KKN students can be agents of change who care about the health and quality of life of the community, especially the elderly. It is hoped that this program can become a regular agenda that can be continued independently by the residents of Dukuh Logandeng.

Unisa Yogyakarta Students Turn Stale Rice into Fertilizer

,

Students participating in the Community Service Program (KKN) at Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (Unisa) Yogyakarta have once again demonstrated their innovation in community empowerment. On Friday (August 15, 2025), they held a training session on how to make Local Microorganisms (MOL) from stale rice for the women of the PKK in Bajang Hamlet, Wijirejo, Pandak, Bantul. This activity aims to reduce household waste while supporting organic farming.

The event, which took place at the Bajang Hamlet Village Hall, was met with enthusiasm from the participants. They came with curiosity to learn how to process stale rice into natural liquid fertilizer. The students began the training by explaining the importance of simple waste management that can be done at home.

After the theoretical session, participants were taught practical methods for making MOL. The ingredients used were very simple: stale rice, rice washing water, and brown sugar. All ingredients were mixed in a closed container and fermented for several days until the MOL was ready for use.

The head of the Bajang Hamlet PKK, Sumarni, was delighted with this new knowledge. According to her, this simple knowledge has a big impact on the environment and households. “It turns out that stale rice, which we usually just throw away, can be processed into liquid fertilizer and natural pesticides that are beneficial for plants,” she said.

The coordinator of Unisa Yogyakarta’s Community Service Program, Faris, explained that this activity is part of the program’s mission in the field of the environment. “We want the PKK women not only to know how to make MOL, but also to get used to using it every day. If this continues to be practiced, it will not only help reduce organic waste, but also save on fertilizer costs,” explained Faris.

With this training, which is supervised by Field Supervisor Sharfina Mutia Syarifah, it is hoped that the Bajang Hamlet community will become more concerned about waste management and environmental conservation. This program is also expected to be the first step towards an environmentally independent village by utilizing local potential.
