Abstract

This research scrutinizes the portrayal of patriarchal ideology, focusing on the manner in which patriarchal structures are ingrained in dialogues and scenes within the film Trafficked (2017), alongside the strategies employed by female characters to resist and endure this oppressive framework. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive approach, the study incorporates Sylvia Walby’s theory of patriarchy to delineate patriarchal practices across six dimensions (1) Paid Employment, (2) Household Production, (3) Culture, (4) Sexuality, (5) Violence, and (6) State. The analysis further used Simone de Beauvoir’s existentialist feminist theory to explore female resistance, which is classified into two categories: (1) women against “object” status and (2) women’s solidarity against exploitation. A comprehensive analysis was conducted on 42 data points: 29 instances of patriarchal practices (distributed as 13% paid employment, 3% household production, 21% culture, 21% sexuality, 21% violence, 21% state), and 13 instances of female resistance (62% opposition to “object” status, 38% solidarity against exploitation). The results indicate four predominant dimensions of patriarchal practices within the film, with women against “object” status emerging as the primary form of resistance. The research concludes that Trafficked (2017) encapsulates patriarchal ideology through the multifaceted oppression of women, encompassing violence, sexual exploitation, and subordination.
