Overall, UNISA Yogyakarta achieved a world ranking of 1,001-1,500 and the 14th best private university in Indonesia.

“This is a concrete form of Unisa Yogyakarta’s commitment in supporting and implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations (UN),” said Rector of Unisa Yogyakarta, Warsiti, Wednesday (18/6/2025).

Warsiti hopes that this achievement will become a momentum for UNISA Yogyakarta to continue to strengthen its contribution to sustainable development goals, both at the local, national and global levels.

Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta has made another achievement at the national level. The campus under the ‘Aisyiyah association successfully won the award as the Muhammadiyah and ‘Aisyiyah College (PTMA) with the Third Most AIK Research and Publications. The award was presented at the Muhammadiyah Higher Education Awards 2025 organized by the Higher Education, Research and Development Council (Diktilitbang) of the Muhammadiyah Central Leadership on Friday (13/6/2025).

UNISA Yogyakarta’s Vice Rector III for Student Affairs, Alumni, Islamic Religion, Kemuhammadiyahan-Ke’Aisyiyahan, Prof. Dr. Mufdlilah, S.SiT., M.Si, expressed her pride for this achievement. “This is an honor to be able to achieve achievements that UNISA Yogyakarta did not expect to achieve,” said Mufdlilah.

She added that this success is the fruit of the collective efforts of all lecturers and employees who have been persistent in improving the achievement of the main and additional performance index (IKU) in the form of publications.

According to Mufdlilah, the curriculum implemented at UNISA Yogyakarta is also very impactful. “Our curriculum provides solutions and positive impacts from research results, helping students to ultimately have an impact on society,” she explained.

This shows that research at UNISA Yogyakarta does not stop at journals, but makes a real contribution to social progress.

Mufdlilah hopes that this achievement can be a motivation for the entire UNISA academic community. “Hopefully this will be a trigger for lecturers and employees to work more in terms of Islamic Religion and Muhammadiyah (AIK) and continue to improve achievements in the future,” she concluded.

The 12th batch of midwifery students at Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta are not only concerned with theory. They went directly to the community through community service activities in the working area of the ‘Aisyiyah Branch Leadership (PCA) Kraton Yogyakarta. With the theme “Strengthening the Role of Midwives in Women’s Empowerment for Early Detection of Maternal and Child Health in the Community,” this activity is a clear proof of UNISA’s commitment in producing midwives who are not only medically skilled, but also socially sensitive.

This field practice activity is neatly structured, starting from the identification and analysis of health problems in the community, formulation of solutions, program planning, implementation, to evaluation and follow-up plans. The main focus is women’s empowerment, especially in the context of maternal and child health. The goal is for women to have adequate knowledge, attitudes and skills to make the right decisions for the health of themselves, their children and their families. As WHO emphasizes, empowerment is the process of increasing the capacity of individuals or groups to make choices and turn them into concrete actions.

Not only that, this activity also touches on aspects of family resilience, which is the family’s ability to face, manage, and recover from various pressures or crises. A resilient family will create a safe and supportive environment.

As a concrete manifestation, students initiated an educational agenda entitled “Build Warmth, Create Resilience.” This educational series was held in two sessions. First, on Thursday, June 12, 2025, at the Sakinah Family Consultation Bureau Forum of PCA Kraton which was attended by 28 women administrators. Second, on Friday, June 13, 2025, at TK ABA Kadipaten Kulon with 17 student guardians.

In the forum, students delivered material on the importance of communication and warmth in the family, the role of fathers and mothers as agents of family resilience, and skills to build resilient household harmony with positive parenting in children. Activities are packaged interactively, with discussions and simulations to build emotional closeness as a foundation for family resilience and prevention of early childhood mental health problems. Participants were also provided with simple screening exercises using the Child Strengths and Difficulties Assessment Questionnaire (SDQ), an early detection tool for emotional and behavioral problems in children aged 4-18 years.

PCA Kraton Chairperson, Laila Desi Ikawati, welcomed this activity. “Alhamdulillah, the material is good and in line with the education that we also run. Insha’Allah, there are new things that we have just learned in this family resilience education,” she said.

The event was also attended by the principal of TK ABA Kadipaten Kulon and UNISA Yogyakarta supervisors. Hopefully, this education will be a valuable provision for mothers and women in Kraton to build healthy, resilient and harmonious families.

West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi’s policy of sending juvenile delinquents to military barracks has sparked debate in the community. Not only criticism, this policy also raises various different views from experts, including from a lecturer and psychologist at Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta, Annisa Warastri, S.Psi, M.Psi, Psychologist.

According to Annisa, this policy can be one way to reduce the number of juvenile delinquents, especially when viewed from the discipline side. She said that naughty children are generally children who get out of the rules, so the approach that must be taken is to return them to the disciplinary structure.

“The definition of naughty is out of the rules, right? How do you get them organized? Yes, enter the rules again. Because in my opinion, to handle naughty children, they must be disciplined, basically naughty children have never been restrained by rules,” said Annisa, at UNISA, Thursday (5/22/2025).

Nevertheless, Annisa emphasized that sending children to military barracks cannot be considered as the only solution to deal with juvenile delinquency. She reminded that each child has a different psychological background, so the approach cannot be generalized.

“For some people you can, just a few people. Because when we talk about the psychology of people and the characteristics of each person are different. Maybe because this is the first time and the story is about military barracks, people are afraid, but basically the key is to be disciplined. It doesn’t always have to be the military barracks, for example something he likes,” he said.

In his view, to solve the problem of child delinquency, it is not only left entirely to the government. Rather, there must be a role for parents in shaping children’s character from an early age, because effective coaching starts from the family environment.

“Character is the result of a marriage between parenting and the environment, who makes parenting? Parents, right? For example, if the child is naughty, the parents usually spoil the child? Well, that’s the reason it can be like that, that’s what parents should be educated about,” he concluded.

Although this policy has not escaped debate, she still appreciates the steps taken by Dedi Mulyadi. Annisa assessed that this kind of attention is important as a first step to deal with the morals of the younger generation.

“I really appreciate the efforts of KDM (Kang Dedi Mulyadi). At least he tried, at least he tried. I don’t know, but there has been no governor since KDM, because I am a West Javanese, there has been no governor whose concern is related to juvenile delinquency. At least he has tried, and we have to appreciate him,” Annisa concluded.
