Abstrak

Gerakan reformasi sosial yang diluncurkan melalui Vision 2030 di Arab Saudi menandai fase baru modernitas Islam dengan menempatkan pemberdayaan perempuan sebagai pilar utama transformasi nasional. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menelaah respons perempuan Muslim terhadap reformasi tersebut dan menganalisis bagaimana wacana Islam kontemporer merekonstruksi makna peran perempuan dalam kerangka peradaban Islam modern. Dengan pendekatan deskriptif-kritis, penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi kepustakaan melalui analisis wacana Foucault yang dipadukan dengan perspektif feminisme Islam Amina Wadud. Data diperoleh dari dokumen resmi Vision 2030, laporan lembaga internasional, publikasi akademik, dan percakapan media sosial (Twitter/X) yang merepresentasikan pandangan perempuan Saudi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tiga pola respons utama: adaptif, resistif, dan ambivalen. Selain itu, negara menggunakan Islam sebagai instrumen ideologis melalui tiga tahap wacana; legitimasi keagamaan oleh otoritas ulama, reinterpretasi ajaran Islam dalam forum keagamaan global, dan internalisasi nilai Islam moderat dalam kebijakan sosial. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa reformasi Vision 2030 tidak hanya mengubah kebijakan gender, tetapi juga merekontekstualisasi wacana Islam yang menempatkan perempuan sebagai subjek aktif dalam negosiasi antara agama, budaya, dan modernitas.

Kata Kunci: Vision 2030, Perempuan Muslim Saudi, Reformasi Sosial, Feminisme Islam, Analisis Wacana.
