Abstract
This study aims to examine the poverty, awareness of gender education, and patriarchal culture in Javanese coastal-dwellers. The study applied a qualitative approach by interviewing 70 informants. The results showed that education for coastal-dwellers was not recognized as an important aspect. In addition, they believed that the wheels of the economy were running because of the role of men ignoring the role of women in marine and fisheries economic activities. They were also married at a young age because of their insufficient awareness and understanding, thus these women could not escape from poverty and their cultural shackles. These women need to be empowered, at least in order to give them enough skills to manage their maritime potential. In addition, they deserve a better education so that they can escape from the poverty zone.
