Abstract

This study discusses Women's Leadership (Uwa or Uwatta) in the Towani Tolotang Community, using descriptive type qualitative research based on the results of data processing to clarify views on women's leadership in the Towani Tolotang community. Data from this research was obtained from related parties who understand in depth the material being studied to produce valid data on the Towani Tolotang Community's views on Women's Leadership in the Towani Tolotang Community. The results of this research show that the Towani Tolotang Community, which is a Bugis ethnic community, has patriarchal views and culture, but the Towani Tolotang Community, which is an ethnic group, is very strong in holding and maintaining the beliefs and traditions of its ancestors, not limiting gender differences in the power of UWA or UWATTA for women and man. © 2024 Author(s).
